I fail to see how the math you guys are using works out. Joseph – your claiming 25,000 dead from Israel. Last time I checked Europe was boasting some odd SIX MILLION just a mere few decades ago. So chutz l’aretz is so much safer than modern day eretz yisrael eh? But don’t worry – something like that could never happen again, or could never happen in a place like America – the goyim there are “too civilized.” Just like the ones in Germany were also to civilized to do such a thing remember?
I guess all the prominent gedolim who live here and direct parties that participate in the political process are all in error. Where were you to give eitza to Rav Shach, Rav Kanievsky, Rav Steinman, Rav Ovadia, and Rav Eliyashiv?
