Reply To: The open miracles of the Iranian bombardment and the war in Gaza

I wasn’t at the Agudah meeting in question, can’t answer for what happened. But dismissing something because you don’t like what is says is a take.
These words of the Satmar Rebbe zt”l confirm the traditional understanding of maaseh satan:
והנשארים מבני ישראל שהשאיר הקב”ה בעבור שבועתו שלא יכלה זרעו, נענשו גם כן בעונש קשה ומר, במה שצליח מעשה שטן להשיג מלכות המינות לנסות את ישראל בניסיון עצום כזה … וזה ברור כי אותו הרעיון המתועב הוא המעכב גאולתינו ופדות נפשינו.

The Brisker Rav zt”l said chas veshalom to say such a thing, but said th miracles were for the sake of the pure people learning not for the apikorsim who made up much of the zionists.

Itche Meir Levin might be an askan, but he summed up how many felt. Rav Moshe Feinstein zt”l wrote in the darash moshe that 1967 was a miracle. The Brisker Rav zt”l said 1948 was a miracle. Unlike the Satmar Rebbe zt”l, he lived in Eretz Yisroel and would know that better than people living in chutz la’aretz who only know what’s going on based on what they are told by gabboim.

As for the modern open miracles, a death rate 90% less than what was expected is not teva. Neither is a large missile attack doing no damage. One missile backfired and landed in Shiraz, and did a huge amount of damage. We also saw in Ukraine how much damage the drones do. I feel bad that Hashem is showing us open miracles but you are unable to see them.
