He was dividing God's land, and I would say, 'Woe unto any prime minister of Israel who takes a similar course to appease the EU, the United Nations or the United States of America. God says, 'This land belongs to me, and you'd better leave it alone.'With these words, Pat Robertson has demonstrated, in his usual sublime and statesmanlike way, why Israel and its supporterts should disavow any political or financial support from the Chaliban. American Jewish supporters of Israel have always been a bit nervous about allying with Christian Fundamentalists, and with good reason: they know that alliance will stand only so long as it gives the Chaliban what they want, and not a moment longer. As Robertson made crystal clear, the Chaliban does not care one whit about what might really be in Israel's best interest as a nation, they care only that the Jews continue to play a role which they assert was unswervingly scripted for them 2,000 years ago.
The White House is becoming accustomed to separating itself from Robertson's comments, but Robertson, along with James Dobson and Franklin Graham and others of their ilk, still commands disproportionate influence over Bush. Besides, what's one more lie on top of all the rest?
