Channel 12 News reported that in an eerie reminder of the events that led up to the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, posters were hung this week calling for a "Pulsa diNura against the evil Bennett," and an employee of the Petah Tikva Municipality said he intended to conduct a Pulsa diNura ceremony against Yamina MK Nir Orbach.
Pulsa diNura is a Kabbalist ceremony in which participants call for angels to bring death upon the subject of the curse. The ceremony was conducted outside Rabin's home in October 1995, approximately a month before he was fatally shot by Yigal Amir.
According to the Channel 12 News report, a flyer was disseminated Thursday on social media urging for an "immediate" Pulsa diNura ceremony against Bennett, who the anonymous authors said "wants to attack the world of the Torah."
The Channel 12 News report also said that on Wednesday, a protester against Orbach's intention of joining the new government announced he was planning a ceremony targeting the MK. The protester, who works for the city of Petah Tikva, has reportedly planned the ceremony for Saturday evening after Shabbat, but before the new government is due to be sworn in.
In 2005, opponents of the plan to disengage from the Gaza Strip held Pulsa diNura ceremonies against then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, and in 2006, the Edah Haredit sect said it was thinking about holding a Pulsa diNura ceremony for the organizers of the Jerusalem Gay Pride parade.
Earlier this month, the Times of Israel reported that a Health Ministry official had been the subject of a Pulsa diNura ceremony for participating in a panel advising on COVID vaccinations for children.
