Pastor says Oz FM Rudd to blame for floods

Brisbane (Australia), Jan.11 (ANI): A Christian pastor has blamed Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd for the floods devastating Queensland.

Daniel Nalliah from the Catch the Fire Ministries wrote on his website that because Rudd "spoke against Israel" in December 2010, Queensland had been punished with floods.

"It is very interesting that Kevin Rudd is from Queensland. Is God trying to get our attention? I believe so," he said.

According to news.com.au, Rudd, during a visit to Israel in December, called on the Jewish state to allow international inspectors into its nuclear facilities.

He also called for a halt to the construction of Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. (ANI)
