I’m sorry for not being clear; I did not mean to cause offense.
Of course I know that many people who were not wealthy had everything detroyed, and definitely needed and deserved the money they received from tzedaka.
That being said, it is impossible to deny the fact that the two communities which were hit the worst are widely known as being wealthy, and that a lot of tzedaka money was given to people who had no need. And please don’t quote me the thing about the hundred runners.
