[Avodah] meh chori

[saul newman via Avodah]

in nitzavim , the scenario is described that after the cataclysmic
destruction of the land , the later generations and the gentiles will ask
the source of  destruction , and they will say  it was due to violation of
the covenant by the jewish people.

i would contend that this has not happened yet as described for the
following reasons.  at the time of the destruction of the first temple ,
the calamity would have been attributed to the overwhelming power of the
Babylonian gods.        In the 2000 yr  post the destruction of the second
temple, the cause of victory would have been initially attributed to both
the Roman army and their superior gods.
since then , the gentiles would agree that the jews deserved destruction
because they refused to bow to the Wood [cross] or Stone [kaaba].

so while chazal [bneichem asher yakimu achareichem]  discerned  the causes
of destructions as they did ,  the gentiles  blamed violation of the
Covenant---  but Moshe certainly could not have meant that the Destruction
was caused by the Jews not converting to christianity or islam.

is this correct?
