Former Presidential candidate Pat Robertson is calling Ariel Sharon's stroke divine retribution for giving away some of the lord's land in Gaza to the Palestinians.
I don't know who's crazier, Robertson, the Palestinians celebrating Sharon's stroke on the street, or the fundamentalist Jews who want to see Sharon die a slow, tortorus death. If there is any hope of a two state solution between Israel and Palestine, Sharon was/is a major factor for the hope of peace in the Middle East.

"God considers this land to be his," Mr. Robertson said on "The 700 Club," his television program. "You read the Bible and he says, 'This is my land,' and for any prime minister of Israel who decides he is going to carve it up and give it away, God says, 'No, this is mine.' "
Mr. Robertson said he had prayed about a year ago with Mr. Sharon, whom he called "a very tenderhearted man and a good friend." He said he was sad to see Mr. Sharon in his current medical condition.
But he also said that in the Bible, the prophet Joel "makes it very clear that God has enmity against those who 'divide my land.' "
Mr. Sharon "was dividing God's land, and I would say woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease" the European Union, the United Nations or the United States, Mr. Robertson said.
