Israel pulls plug on Pat Robertson deal – Mideast/N. Africa – MSNBC.com:
JERUSALEM – Israel won’t do business with Pat Robertson after the evangelical leader suggested Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s massive stroke was divine punishment, a tourism official said Wednesday, putting into doubt plans to develop a large Christian tourism center in northern Israel.

Avi Hartuv, spokesman for Israel’s tourism minister, said officials are furious with Robertson’s suggestion that the stroke was retribution for Sharon’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip last summer. “We can’t accept this kind of statement,” Hartuv said.

Hartuv left the door open to continuing the project, but only with people who don’t back Robertson’s statements.
