Israel punishes US TV evangelist

BBC, 11 January 2006

 

Israel is pulling out of a $50 million deal with US TV evangelist Pat

Robertson after he said Ariel Sharon's stroke was divine retribution.

Tourism Ministry spokesman Ido Hartuv said Israel would not sign a

contract with Mr Robertson to build a biblical theme park by the Sea

of Galilee.

 

Mr Robertson suggested on his popular TV show the stroke was a

punishment for Israel's withdrawal from Gaza.

 

His remarks were condemned by the US government and American Jewish

groups. ...

 

Mr Robertson is no stranger to controversy.

 

He was forced to apologise last year for calling for the

assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
