Pat Robertsons comments

• He was dividing Gods land, Robertson said.
  And I would say, Woe unto any prime minister of
  Israel who takes a similar course to appease the
  E.U., the United Nations or the United States of
  America. God says, This land belongs to me. You
  better leave it alone.

Pat Robertsons comments

• In the book of Joel, the prophet Joel makes it
  very clear that God has enmity against those who
  divide My land. God considers this land to be
  His. When you read the Bible, He said this is my
  land. For any Prime Minister of Israel who
  decides he will carve it up and give it away, God
  said, No, this is Mine.
