JayMatt, I don’t understand why, CH”V, you refuse to believe in that Chazal (ironic, since you just quoted from the maaseh of Vayaaminu BaHashem uViMoshe avdo”.
Health correctly referred to the Chazal that there are times, that once Hashem had allowed the mashchis to go forth, that his destruction was, to some extent, indiscriminate. (I also mentioned earlier regarding oy laRasha which Chazal also have much to talk about. Do you not believe in that Chazal as well, CH”V?)
Hence, when massive double-digit foot waves washed over NYC, it makes sense that, for instance, Seagate was also affected simply because of their topography (and perhaps because of their proximity to this immorality?), given that Hashem had sent out this destructive force “Sandy”.
I’m not claiming Sandy was or was not one of those cases of “kivan sheNitan Rishus….”. Nor can I claim this was a case of Oy LaRasha either. Who knows? But the possibility for each is certainly there, and the other 10 instances you quoted do not negate this.
As for the Yam Suf, Pesel Micha did make it through, but we had other zechuyos that compensated for “Halalu Ovdei Avoda Zara VaHalalu Ovdei Avoda Zara”. Do you also enjoy trying to bring a kitrug on what are presumably your people? Of course Hashem differentiated and saved us.
But, again, the differentiation at Krias Yam Suf doesn’t negate the concept of Kivan sheNitan Rishus…”. Hashem is always kind to us, but that doesn’t mean you can negate Chazal. Obviously, there are certain times/people/whatever when/where that Chzal applies and other times/people/whatever when/where it doesn’t.
