just because they may be innocent babies in this life, its very possible they r gilgulim and needed to be punished in this way
Again, maybe, maybe not. But that’s all you can go on. Once you throw the possibility of gilgulim into the mix, you can never say *anyone* is ever innocent. How do you know that [ insert the name of your favorite gadol here ] wasn’t a lowlife gangster in a previous life?
We define innocence or guilt based on actions that occur in *this* life, not on any possible former lives or future lives. By that definition, again, an infant is innocent.
