Yes, Mr. Robertson, this is what happens when you run your mouth off.

JERUSALEM — Israel will not do business with Pat Robertson after the evangelical leader suggested Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s massive stroke was divine punishment for the Gaza withdrawal, a tourism official said today.

Robertson is leading a group of evangelicals who have pledged to raise $50 million to build a large Christian tourism center in Israel’s northern Galilee region, where tradition says Jesus lived and taught.

But Avi Hartuv, a spokesman for Tourism Minister Avraham Hirschson, said Israeli officials were furious with Robertson, a Christian broadcaster. A day after Sharon’s Jan. 4 stroke, Robertson said the prime minister was being punished for “dividing God’s land,” — a reference to last summer’s pullout from the Gaza Strip and four West Bank settlements.

“We can’t accept this kind of statement,” Hartuv said.

He said the Christian Heritage Center project was now in question, though he left the door open to develop it with others.

“We will not do business with him, only with other evangelicals who don’t back these comments,” Hartuv said. “We will do business with other evangelical leaders, friends of Israel, but not with him.”

“Those that publicly support Ariel Sharon’s recovery … are welcome to do business with us.”

Doctor Who Series One North American DVD release delayed…

For reasons that have yet to be made clear, the release of the Series One Boxed Set in the US and Canada, originally scheduled for February 14 as announced by both the official Doctor Who website and Doctor Who Magazine, has been postponed. No explanation has been given, but Warner Home Video, the distributors of the discs, had not released any information on their distributors’ site, and inquiries to BBC Video have gone unanswered. The TV Shows on DVD website reports that they were informed by a BBC PR rep that there were “complications” with the set. We hope to have more information about a rescheduled date on this soon.

Well, this explains why Amazon hasn’t started listing it yet. Damnit… nothing to do now but wait.
