 Pat Robertson To Build Biblical Theme Park In IsraelPosted on Jan 4, 2006The Israeli government is planning to give up a large slice of land to American Christian evangelicals to build a biblical theme park by the Sea of Galilee where Jesus is said to have walked on water and fed 5,000 with five loaves and two fish. A consortium of Christian groups, led by the television evangelist Pat Robertson, is in negotiation with the Israeli ministry of tourism and a deal is expected in the coming months. The project is expected to bring up to 1 million extra tourists a year but an undeclared benefit will be the cementing of a political alliance between the Israeli rightwing and the American Christian right. read the story Previous item: Abramoff Pleads Guilty in Second Federal Case Next item: Ariel Sharon's Stroke Creates Turmoil Elsewhere: .

Matthew 21:12: “Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13: “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers.”

And he’s grousing about Sharon “giving up” Christian land to Palestine?
