to jewishness: as you have copied your response from a similar thread(why all the pain)This is a tragedy that shakes up most normal people without the need for being Motzie shem Ra on people in Eretz Yisroel here was my reponse in that thread
You have no right to insult Hashems people whether they live here or in eretz yisroel in such a blanket manner
TO JEWISHNESS: Eretz Yisroel has the highest amount of people that keep kosher, learn Torah, keep Taharas Hamishpacha (even the most the most chiloni goes to mikva at least once before getting married)and the Rishaim in the government even though they are pushing for cut-backs are the biggest supporters of Torah learning in the world.We cannot subscribe reason to Hashem meting out punishment, perhaps it was even due to sins by people in america as in the internet age we are very keenly and immediately effected by this tragedy. Do not cast aspersions and certainly you have no right to say all the leaders are Rishaim. Need I remind you there are Rabbonim and others who are part of the political process. I am not burying my head in the sand, yes there are problems in Eretz Yisroel but there are problems everywhere.We should Daven that in the Zechus of all the right things going on in Eretz Yisroel Hashem should protect his children and lead us into doing and helping us accomplish teshuva and bring our geula bimhera.
