Itzik, you make some very good points.
I am forced to disagree with you with what you term as achzarius.
This isn’t achzarius. This is a question of ikkarei ha’emuna as expressed by the Ramba”m. Hashem runs the world.
Let’s make the attack on me. Let’s say I get up and say, in an unforced manner, bifnei am va’eida, “They will understand and see- it’s J*s*s who runs this world”. What would you say? Would you defend me? Would you attack those who attack me as making political points?
I am still waiting for the statement you referenced to be retracted, and I’m still waiting for somebody from Lubavitch to publicly repudiate it and say “Hashem runs the world, ein od milvado”. I would be very happy if you would do so.
