Question

Which rabbi published that it is possible that the pogrom happened because someone convicted of burning an Arab family in the village of Duma is sitting in prison,
and has not been set free.
I don’t know whether that rabbi meant that the convict didn’t do it and is sitting in prison by mistake, and that rabbi knows what others do not know,
or perhaps he really did do it, but the act was either good or not bad enough to justify sitting in prison.
To be honest, I haven’t looked into it deeply enough to know exactly what that rabbi thinks. It just made me chuckle about the unlucky or bungling God that rabbi believes in: instead of smashing the people who put him in prison, or performing a miracle so that he would be free, the missile misses so badly that instead of killing those responsible or somehow saving the convict, around 1,400 of His children—who did nothing to that convict—are slaughtered, burned, and cut to pieces while still alive.

Such a defective missile, one that misses that badly—even Hamas wouldn’t use it anymore…

How can anyone worship such an unlucky nebbish of a God?

But the truth is that there are similar sayings in the Sages, such as: once permission is given to the destroyer, it no longer distinguishes, and the like; and that calamity begins with the righteous, and so on. How can one explain the words of the Sages so that the God they believed in does not come out looking like a bumbler and an unlucky nebbish, like the pathetic God of that rabbi?
