<<Israel was punished just as the curses of the Torah said they would be if they allowed themselves to be influenced by foreign nations and their gods and practices. However, these oppressors are always punished for their affliction of the Jewish people.>>

How can we be sure that all oppressors are carrying out a divine degree to punish the Jewish people? How can we be sure that the Holocaust for example was just due the evil of Hitler and nothing to do with the iniquity of the Jewish people? And if Hitler was just carrying out a divine degree, how can he burn in hell? If he had a choice, and he chose not to do evil on the Jewish people, how does punishment get meted out to the Jewish people?
I dont understand Divine Providence very well! As you can tell.
Thanks
