The leader of the African Christian Democratic Party of South Africa (ACDP), Rev. Kenneth Meshoe has made some startling claims in a speech to his followers. His open support for Israel is more extreme than that of the American Zionist Christian, Pastor John Hagee. Recently, John McCain, the US presidential candidate, rejected Hagee's support and distanced himself from Hagee's radical views. Meshoe makes the shocking claim that the Twin Towers in New York fell because the US acted against Israel. He also says that Ariel Sharon is in a coma because he pulled Israeli settlers out of Gaza. The ACDP is a small political party on the opposition bench in South Africa's parliament.
