To add to the list of problems: many, if not most MO people do not believe fully in Hashem running the world. They believe that the holocaust happened because of racism, hatred, etc, and do not acknowledge that it was Hashem who did it. They likewise blame the gedolim for not telling the European Jews to leave. The chazon ish, quoted in maaseh ish, famously said that people who blame the gedolim and say hallel on yom haatzmaut are apikorsim.

They believe they will stop another one from happening r”l by having a state and fighting racism against African Americans.

They ignore the fact that rommel was 2 days away from eretz yisroel. The same thing could have happened there, but the yidden davened and fasted, and were mevatel the gezerah. The Brisker Rov said that the yidden in Europe could have avoided the calamity if they had responded to the gezera the way the yidden in eretz yisroel did.
