ratzon hashem discussion:
if someone eats a ham sandwich and finishes it with enjoyment, he cannot say “if Hashem did not want me to eat it, he would have startled me suddenly and it would have dropped to the floor. Therefore this act was ratzon HaShem.” How stupid this person woujld be.
BUT: anyone who reads any of the dozens of books written by participants – or historians – about the years of activity that preceded the creation of the state of Israel, [one of my favorites was “The Pledge” by Leonard Slater] must be astounded and mesmerized by the amazing “coincidents” and near miracles that combined in forming a state with almost no planes, no tanks, etc. vs. a gang of armies with air forces and tanks and well-armed soldiers. If HaShem had not wanted this state to be fashioned, all He had to do is let nature take it course.
The real QUESTION IS: WHY DID HE ALLOW IT TO OCCUR AND HELP IT ALONG WITH SO MANY “MINOR” MIRACLES? I can only surmise that he expected frum Jews to flock there in the thousands and turn it into a frum country! the problem is with OUR RATZON!!
