Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
JERUSALEM, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Israeli police are considering whether to indict a settler rabbi for inciting violence for saying he would place a death curse on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Rabbi Yosef Dayan, who lives in the West Bank settlement of Psagot, said Tuesday, the eve of the Jewish New Year, that he wanted "something bad to happen" to the prime minister and that he was willing to carry out a Kabbalistic ceremony aimed at killing Sharon, Israel Radio reported.
"If the rabbis ask me to carry out a 'pulsa denura' curse, I will be willing to do so at once," said Dayan, a close associate of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane whose party was outlawed in Israel for its extremist views.
After a television broadcast of Dayan's statements, the head of police investigations ordered officers to obtain a transcript of the conversation along with other evidence and to investigate whether the rabbi was inciting violence.
