As a Christian myself, I don't think that God would punish somebody like that for giving some of Israel to the Palestinians. I think that God uses people for a purpose, and that Pat Robertson is just another telepreacher or whatever they call them, and he's trying to get attention and money. What if it was God's will for the Palestinians to have part of Israel? What if Sharon's stroke was a part of His plan for Sharon's life? Take Paul the apostle for example: he went to prison because he suffered for his faith, not because of punishment by God; it was God's will in the first place. The way that I see it, things happen that we don't fully understand at first that seem bad to start out. Then later, it was the best thing for us and we thank God in the end of that moment because he let something happen to us, even if we didn't want it. Besides, many experts believe that the end times are already here, and I wouldn't doubt that God is preparing for another sign of the end times. Anyways, Pat Robertson is dead wrong, and he doesn't do a really good job at being a televangelist (aha; that's the word!).
