<Seems pretty ordinary to me.> Incitement to violence is a criminal offense in Israel. If a Muslim cleric in Israel publicly praised the idea of setting off a nuclear bomb in Tel Aviv, would you also call that "pretty ordinary"? How do you think the Israeli authorities would view it? Probably about how they view Muslim clerics who praise suicide bombers. Praising people who are advocating setting off nuclear bombs in Washington, because you don't like the politics of the people there, this doesn't count as incitement to violence? How do you know Pat Robertson isn't serious? Why do you assume nobody else will take him seriously, nobody else will act on the ideas he is advocating? After all, he says similar things about doctors and clinics who do abortions, and several of those doctors have been killed, and many clinics fire-bombed.
