I wrote a topic about exactly the same issue a few months ago. I fully agree.
This whole idea of “xxxx is caused by xxxx” is not befitting us. It is the way of the Muslims (“The Jews/Zionists caused the earthquake in Iran / the tsunami in Indonesia”) or the Christians (“AIDS is a punishment for using contraception”).
Our faith should be a little bit above such ridiculous nonsense. We do not know why things happen. All we need to do is believe in Hashem and do our jobs and live our lives.
Also this whole type of reasoning bothers me because it’s just so negative. Why does everything have to be negative? Why do some people have to base their yiddishkeit on OPPOSING everything and everyone they don’t like? Just live your life and let others live theirs.
