I didn’t read the article yet but I do have access to it (I don’t generally buy it, nothing against Ami, just not in the budget).
I don’t know if this was the right thing to say, but I’d heard the news before my son went to camp and I knew I had to say something in the limited time I had. Among other things was that he’s going to hear a lot of stuff, some of it true, some of it not, but he had to know that, as impossible as it sounds, Hashem had a reason for letting this happen and Hashem was involved.
Maybe I shouldn’t say anything, not knowing the context. But taking the words at face value, yeah, problematic.
As for exploiting, that’s a whole nother thread.
