Qwerty, yes I agree that we should introspect and try to correct the errors. I am just a little weary of people offering quick answers, as common seichel just said in another thread. Theoretically, I learned that we lost access to direct info from Hashem, we can still use (carefully) mida kneged mida approach. I also favor looking for factual rational explanations and then see if they can be further extended into the moral ones.

Along these lines regarding the recent events, I heard several people mentioning increased machlokets in Israeli politics with groups relating to others as enemies.

This connects factually: hamas used some of the tactics that became established in last 2 years, and Israel didn’t assimilate these lessons, and hamas being supported by Iran, while Iran is exchanging technology with Russia, and on moral side also – ignore atrocities towards others … as r Soloveitchik wrote, when there are historical perturbation. Jews should not think that we will not be affected.
