Virginia Beach, VA – Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson has told his TV audience that God will punish the United States if the U.S. forces Israel to share control of Jerusalem with the Palestinians.

His warning Monday on CBN’s “The 700 Club” came as Israeli and Palestinian negotiators prepared to meet in Washington for their first direct talks in years.
The U.S. has never recognized Israel’s designation of Jerusalem as its capital, insisting the city’s status should be negotiated. The U.S. also has not recognized Israel’s annexation of eastern Jerusalem, which contains sites holy to Muslims, Jews and Christians.
But Robertson declared — on what he called “the authority of the Scripture” — that if the U.S. “forces Israel to divide Jerusalem, God Himself will come down against this nation, and what will happen will be very painful to every one of us as American citizens.”
Christian and Jewish Zionists believe the return of Jews to establish modern Israel was a fulfillment of biblical prophecies.
I am glad the article quotes “christans and jewish zionists” tha leaves most of us cheridim out.
Hopefully, the Ebeshter will punish Robertson first for his relentless efforts to sabatoge a peace settlement over many years.
What’s funny is (or really not funny) That a Christian understands dividing Jerusalem is wrong & our fellow Jews don’t.
Thanks for the support!
Why does it take a X-tian to speak the truth about Israel?
He is constantly predicting armageddon involving events in EY so his moishiach can come back…..he ‘loves” yidden so that they can all die in some type of holocaust that would precede his “second coming”. Reminder that this is the same idiot that blames every natural disaster on gay marriage etc.
I can not think of any worse punishment than being sent another Pat Robertson.
I am sorry, but I think that it is presumptuous for anyone who does not live in Israel to tell the Israeli Government what they should be doing.
If you have strong feelings, come on Aliyah and vote for the party that will reflect your view.
It’s time for the “Brooklyn Zionists” to stop giving military advice from the safety of Galut.
A rebbe once gave this definition of galus: When non-Jews act the way Jews should act; and when Jews don’t act the way Jews should..
WHEN the JEWS don’t make kiddish the goyim will make Havdalah. Preacher Robertson sees a true fact and is stating it. The fool are trying to say the arabs in Eretz Yisrael are not Jew haters but are our friendly brothers. Like calling a lion a fish. No matter how many times you say this; it is not so. Keep changing the term leftist to progressives, queers to gay, homosexual to alternative life style.
It’s mamish a nebech that Pat Robertson is the one championing this cause. The world has turned upside down.
This is the same Pat Robertson who just today advised someone to burn down his house because it was infested with demons.
It no longer matter what Pat Robertson says. Maybe you agree with these comments, maybe you disagree with what he said last week. It does not matter. Pat is now in his dotage. He is no longer capable of clear thought and his family ought to pressure him to retire. He does not belong in front of a TV camera.
