Arrogant

They had a big gathering a little while ago about the Holocaust on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auscwitz where many prominent personalities and politicians took part. 

Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks and promises that there will never be another Holocaust [לא תקפ"ץ]. How can he guarantee that? HE will stop it. HE is in control. 

I am a kofer. I don't believe that Benyamin Netanuyahu is powerful enough to prevent another Holocaust. I actually find it more than a bit arrogant to assert that one can personally prevent such a thing from happening.

There are MUCH BIGGER forces in the world at play than one guy from Netanya [or even Tzahal]. 

We believe that Hashem runs the world and that only HE can guarantee that no such catastrophe ever happens again. This כוחי ועוצם ידי attitude of so many in this country is distressing. They talk proudly about the "Jewish people" and then promote values that are anything but Jewish.   

When Iraq threatened the Jewish State with chemical warfare in 1991, there was no כוחי ועוצם ידי. Just a lot of people going into sealed rooms with gas masks.
