Davening for the prosperity of the world is definitely an inyan; the korbanos of sukkos, etc… But davening for a particular non Jewish person is assur, as the magen avrohom writes. Please tell me where in the siddur we pray for such things?

And if rav shach, the satmar rov, the chazon ish, and other gedolei olam talked about the causes of the Holocaust… then halevai i should be as small minded as them.

It’s the opposite; small minded people often retreat into “mir veist nisht” because they don’t want to confront the harsh reality of schwr veonesh, that God punishes, and doesn’t just reward.
