<div dir="ltr">having a little trouble understanding the sequencing of the 'dor acharon' dialogue. , and reconciling with historical reality. that many have asked 'meh choree' is clear , both jew and gentile.<div>
the answer though that has been given not so sure. specifically the claim 'al asher azvu' . </div><div><br></div><div> while it may be that 'dor rishonim' of jews clearly held that way , we see that historically later generations [ and we can take the 20th C jewish people as representative , wherein 90 % could be fairly classified themselves on some level as 'asher azvu'] don't per force see Holocausts as punishment for abandonment of Divine imperative--- see eg post-Holocaust 'Gd is dead' [r'l] movements .... </div>
<div><br></div><div>now that is just the jewish perspective. what about the 'kol hagoyim' ? well, in fact they don't see the Divine Wrath as do to abandonment of the covenant --- but rather stiff-necked rejection of a new covenant....</div>
<div><br></div><div>so , in the 3500 yr since this Prophecy was given , it is not clear where it was fulfilled--- unless we say that a Sodom-like hyper-destruction of the Land yet awaits , and the xtian world/moslem world will at that time change their opinion of why the Jews are punished....</div>
<div><br></div><div>or, was it referring to the Babylonians acknowledging the destruction at that time , by a G-d they didn't believe in ? i would think they rather attributed it to their superior army and gods... as doubtless the Romans did as well...<br>
