>> thus it’s currently inadvisable to be “somech al ha’neis” anymore.
I understand your sentiment re:miracles in Israel, and I hate to contradict with cold numbers: for example, if you look at deaths at auto accidents in Israel – they were way higher than all developed countries (500 per mln vehicles in 1970 v. 300 in France and 100-200 in other countries). Now it is 100 v 50 to 100 in most countries. So, those kids running without railings were growing into adults who drove the same way … maybe there is a benign explanation that at the time less people had vehicles and they were from a more reckless category.
there is also something eery with end of covid in Israel – before anywhere else, was immediately followed by Meron and then Hamas …
Still your statement above presumes that we are to rely on miracles which sounds like contradicting conclusion of the Gemora in Shabbos 32 which discusses exactly the case – people are tested when they are crossing bridges, and ends with R’ Yannai’s advice to check the boat before going in rather than rely on contradictory ideas from Rav and Shmuel to not have or have a gentile in your boat. Maybe someone can explain better how these different ways of dealing with risk relate to each other
