Israel rejects Pat Robertson Funding: "Israel rejects Pat Robertson Funding - Tourism Minister Avraham Hirchson has shunned US evangelical leader Pat Robertson shortly before the two were to sign a major funding deal for the Galilee Christian Heritage Center after Robertson suggested that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's stroke was a punishment from God for the Gaza Strip withdrawal, The Jerusalem Post has learned.'The minister has very strong views on this and cannot accept what was said,' Tourism Ministry spokesman Ido Hartuv said. 'We reconsidered the deal and realized that we cannot sign with Robertson or anyone who supports his views.'From Nony"
