FAQ: Do you mean to say there are actually Christians out there believing it
was the Jews' own fault that they were rounded up like cattle, stripped of
their dignity, their property, their wealth, and their possessions, enslaved,
starved, deprived of basic human necessities, tortured, subjected to
Frankenstein medical experiments, worked to death, and gassed, shot, and
incinerated by the millions?
A: If the covenant that Moses' people agreed upon with God is binding; then
yes; the Jews, as a corporate people, are definitely at fault for what
happened to them.
The covenant obligates Him to protect them from misfortune when they're
compliant with it; but the same time the covenant also obligates God to
lower the boom on them when they're not compliant with it. There's really
no mystery to this: it's all spelled out in black and white at Ex 34:6-7, Lev
26:14-38, Deut 27:15-26, and Deut 28:15-69. (cf. Deut 29:14-28)
If there is only one good thing to come out of the Holocaust is that it proves
to the world that God is reliable, viz: He can be trusted to honor His
commitments.
