Scores of secular Jews and non-Jews have been sort of, kind of, justifying the shooting or attempting to partially deflect blame from the killers, by claiming that Jews shouldnt be allowed to visit the Temple Mount (which just happens to be the holiest site in Judaism) in the first place because - get this - it is against halakha (Jewish law) to do so! Apart from the fact that this is inaccurate (there is a halakhic debate about if and how it is permitted to ascend the Mount, with prominent rabbis in either camp, and surely it is not up to Islamists or other non-Jews to have the final say in the form of violence and intimidation,) it is remarkably odd that people who dont give a damn about, or are even hostile towards Orthodox Judaism suddenly turn into hardline conservatives when it comes to Jews being allowed on the Temple Mount.
