The little I know -“Unless somone possesses Ruach Hakodesh, they have no right to tell us what caused the Holocaust, Hurricane Sandy, or any other disaster. They are free to instruct Klal Yisroel or any individual with guidance on what to be mesaken. The Ben Ish Chai spoke in general, as is found in Shas many times (for example in Pirkei Avos (5:10)) that certain types of tragedies happen as punishment for certain categories of aveiros. However, cheshbonos for specific events are complex beyond the comprehension of mortal humanity. Anyone who tells me the precise cause for Sandy is either a kofer, a ball gaava, or a plain idiot.”
While your post is accurate, myself and others who have given reasons are saying that it’s a good possibility, not that we know 100%. So the guidance me and others are giving to be Mesaken is that No Frum Jew should vote for any candidate who supports or has voted for the Toeiva agenda! To put your head in the sand and not trying to look at some possibilities over others is missing the message that Hashem sent. The Gedolim did this with the Holocaust, with many blaming the Reform movement and lack of Shmiras Shabbos. Some blamed the Zionist movement. So there are some things that have to be corrected first, even though we don’t know 100% that these were the cause(s).
