Barry: Why is your Emunah lacking that Hashem will protect us in America? Do you think Hashem cannot allow a holocaust to c’v occur in Israel? Do you think it was only possible in Europe?
Instead of putting your faith in the “self-sufficiency” of “one of the best military’s in the world” put your faith where it belongs. And recognize that during golus whatever could happen to you in Europe could happen to you in Israel.
Davening and Limud Torah, far far far more than the military, is what protects us.
