Sorry but Stan has his knickers all in a knot over total BS and does not see the big picture.

Aussie Dave: I have deleted the rest of the comment since Stan was not expressing anything offensive, and was being genuine. Hence why start a flame war?

Stan,

It is not for me to speculate on G-d’s ways. But don’t assume that if someone dies, they were punished by G-d. Perhaps their time had come - they had done what they needed to do in this life - and it was time to go to a better place.

Let’s leave it at that and just agree that it is amazing that more Israelis have not been killed by the constant Qassam fire aimed at population centers.

I have read your blog for a long time. So, I know that you would never believe that the victims were not worthy of protection.
The statement however implies that.
If G-d were intervening here why would some children be spared and others saved?
While watching a Kassam being pulled out of a deep sandpile next to a children’s playground and some houses (it landed in the one spot in the area where it could do no damage), a freind said the same thing you said about devine intervention. I said the same thing about the children that have been killed. We both came to the conclusion that the world moves in mysterious ways that we can’t understand.
My biggest concern is for the parents that lost children. What do they think of a G-d that protects other children but not theirs.

Stan,

I think you should know that is NOT what I was implying. I was focusing on the fact that logic would dictate more people should have been killed.

Stan, If Israel fired back a like number of the KASSAM brainless rockets on a tit for tat basis; Photo Shop/Palestine would claim HUGE death tolls.
And it would be all over MSM like a pox.

Unguided artie is wasted artie Stan.
Except of course as a ham-ass terrorist tactic.

Best Regards,

Calling the lack of casualties in Sderot “devine protection” implies that the people (including small children) that have been killed were somehow unworthy of G-d’s protection.
I just spent a month in Sderot. I heard several people talk about Devine protection. I cringed each time I heard it.
That being said, and having seen Kassam attacks first hand, I do not understand how so many rockets fired into a densly populated city can cause so few casualties. My logic tells me the rockets should be killing people everyday. After thousands of rockets, it is hard to attribute this to dumb luck.
