      Posters Pronounce a Curse Upon 'Pride Marchers'


      Posters that appear to have been issued by the members of the Eida Hareidit Court of Justice announced Sunday that a curse would be placed upon the heads of the people who will participate in the 'Pride Parade' scheduled to take place in Jerusalem Thursday. The curse is also pronounced against the police officers providing security for the march.

      It is not clear if the posters were indeed issued by the Eida Hareidit. The Eida is a religious group that does not recognize the State of Israel and takes no funds from the government.

      Police sources said that according to intelligence reports, hareidi-religious protesters intend to block central junctions in Israel, beginning Monday morning at 6:00. The police say they will not allow the kind of protests that took place against the previous 'gay pride' march in Jerusalem to recur.
