Joseph, for how long have you been a Zoroastrian (you obviously believe in a god of good and a god of evil),
Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz said about the liberation of Yerushalayim “I am not a prophet. I am a simple man, but it is clear to me that were we to have a prophet today, he would declare: ‘Your throne is established of old! Praise the Lord, all nations; laud Him, all peoples. For His mercy is great toward us; and the truth of the Lord endures forever. Hallelukah. The Lord is a man of war, the Lord is His name.’”
Rav Moshe said “… we require miracles exclusively, so that perhaps the people will recognize that it is God who is doing this. And so, thank God, this has been fulfilled, and He has produced the victory over Arabs far greater in number, who also had the assistance of a major empire for their weaponry, much greater than our state in the Land of Israel, and yet in just four days, they defeated all of the Arab nations and Egypt, in the time from Monday to Thursday, and we hope that He will send the King Messiah soon, and all Israel will recognize that ‘the Lord is a man of war'” (emphasis mine)
