Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben-Dahan tweeted sarcastically that a Hamas official had accepted the proposal, but had requested the addresses of national-religious and secular people, to murder them instead.Former MK and far-right politician Michael Ben-Ari tweeted, “Mishpacha is turning to murderers to ask them not murder haredim… everyone else is okay apparently.(He forgot that the 1929 pogrom occurred because Jews went to visit the Western Wall).” Following the outrage prompted by his article, Ehrlich took to Twitter and said that he was trying to explain in his article that the Islamic Movement was trying to create a religious war and has urged Palestinians to attack people with a religious appearance.“My article in Mishpacha says that this religious war is fueled by wild incitement based on imaginary rumors. Most people who observe the religious commandments don’t go to the Temple Mount, if only because of the religious prohibition.The article was trying, naively it must be admitted, to tear the away the mask from the murderous Palestinian aggression which has been going on for decades, and to neutralize the false Islamic incitement.”Mishpacha itself issued several tweets explaining the rationale of the article, stating that all Jews had a joint fate, adding that the article sought to expose the lie that the reason for the recent wave of terrorism was Jews going up to the Temple Mount, when in actuality they kill Jews whether they visit the site or not.“In accordance with Jewish law, we oppose going up to the Temple Mount. As a haredi newspaper whose path is of Jewish law, we do not distinguish between one Jew and another. We stand in this struggle shoulder to shoulder with the entire Jewish people, pray for the peace of the people and the peace of the soldiers of the IDF.As a newspaper, we are sorry if the article was understood differently.”
