Only a few days after the horrific massacre of 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School by 18-year-old Salvador Ramos in Uvalde, Texas last week, governments across the country have seized on the tragedy to drum up support for the police and the hardening of schools with additional security measures. A little over a week prior to Tuesdays shooting, a racially motivated assault was carried out by a fascist gunman in a Buffalo, New York grocery store, killing 10.

Among the most successful political movements in Israel in recent decades has been one relating to the Temple Mount, turning what was once an exceedingly fringe view held solely by members of the national-religious camp into something that even a significant number of secular Jewish Israelis can agree with: that Jews should be allowed to not only visit but pray on the Temple Mount. That shift truly a dramatic one, historically speaking was on display on Sunday as a record number of Jews visited the site to celebrate Jerusalem Day, which marks Israels capture of East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six Day War, the first time that the Temple Mount was in Jewish hands, at least nominally, in some 2,000 years. Over 2,600 Jews visited the Temple Mount, setting a record for the highest number of Jewish visitors to the site in a single day, likely since the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 CE.
