[Avodah] God's Will in Syria

[Ben Waxman via Avodah]

 From an interview with Shivi Froman in Olam Katan (in reference to his
fundraiser for Syrians) (my translation):

Q: You don't think that it is God's will (Hand of God) that our enemies
are killing each other instead of uniting against us?

A: No, I don't have those types of thoughts about God, he protests. The
only thing that I thought was that God commanded to live as if the world
was created for me. If I feel that something is lacking or there is pain
in this world, then I am lacking something and the pain is mine. If I
can imagine something that God is telling me about Syria, it is this:
"I created for you a black hole, pain, incredible evil in this world. Go
and do something about it". I can't imagine that God allows me to watch
people created in His image doing these things to one another and telling
"enjoy the show". That isn't my God.
