Rabbinical cursing.
Not something I had encountered before, although given some of the more blood-curdling passages in the Torah / Old Testament, I suppose it is none too surprising.
Anyway, the Jerusalem Post notes that "..rabbis from the extremist anti-Zionist Eda Haredit sect on Sunday placed a curse on the organizers of the [Jerusalem gay pride] parade and participants...'To all those involved, sinners in spirit, and whoever helps and protects them, may they feel a curse on their souls, may it plague them and may evil pursue them; they will not be requited of their transgressions from heavenly judgement'".
I've heard worse.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Requited? Surely that means "pay back"?
Anyway, the diseases they give each other is "requital" enough.
Nothing like compassion and tolerance is there.
I wish the ultra-religious would spend time fighting the real enemies:
Arab nationalism
Anti-semitism
BBC
JJ - No argument from me there. The Haredim can have a tendency to look at the small picture. It is the anti-Zionist Jews who make common cause with those who would slaughter them that really makes my skin crawl.
