I just heard people saying that the Earthquake in Japan is a punishment to the Japanesefor what they have done/are doing to th eBAchurim in prison.
The same guy commented that the earthquake in New Zealand was a punishmment for them banning shechita.
Anyone heard Daas Torah saying these sort of comments?
Anyone got any other ideas?

I can believe it.
Or perhaps for what they did in Nanjing. Maybe they were Yotze in WWII, maybe not. They never officially acknowledged the extent of what was done.
Once we’re on this topic:
Many people are aware of the the Maamar Chazal that punishment only comes comes because of the Yidden. I’ve heard it explained that it is a sign to us or instead of us. The Maharal explains, though, that Hashem punishes those who deserve it. However, since non Jews wouldn’t learn a lesson from tragedies, there would be no point. The only reason that Hashem punishes those who deserve it is to show us that there is a Dayan.
