Question

Could the Rabbi please address the following post and reconcile it with the curses in Ki Tavo? Thank you very much, and have a good week.
I recently heard heretical statements attributing the terrible massacre in the Gaza border region to God as a response to Sabbath desecration and the like. Today I even saw similar heretical statements in print. 
 
These are heretical statements, because a God who slaughters His sons and daughters as punishment for not obeying His voice is not worthy of our worship or our esteem. But since God (the One whose name some have the practice, as I do, of mentioning with the letter “k” rather than the letter “h”) is indeed worthy of our worship and our esteem, it follows that it is not possible that He slaughtered the work of His hands. Those who slaughtered were of course the abominable Hamas terrorists. God was exactly where He always is; He allowed human beings—in this case, the abominable Hamas terrorists—to do whatever entered their minds and to choose absolute evil.
 
Enlisting verses from the Torah that seemingly call for the killing of Sabbath desecrators and the like is a distortion of Judaism as I know it. The Oral Torah, at its root, over the course of more than 2,000 years, through various and diverse strategies, uprooted the religious violence that could, God forbid, arise from the verses of the Written Torah without adherence to the words of the Oral Torah. 
 
Anyone who insists on ignoring the words of the Sages and more than 2,000 years of tradition denies that the Torah is from Heaven. Anyone who attributes such abominations to God denies God’s goodness. I thought these were simple points, but I discovered that what seemed self-evident to me is not necessarily so.
Enough with heresy.
