When you ask a Jewish person in online circles about what God was doing during the holocaust, they answer like it is a mystery But if you read the old testament, and read about what God did to ancient Israelites, one should conclude that it would be perfectly in God’s character to be the one who orchestrated the holocaust

>>18419387Jews see God as morally gray. That's what they mean when they say it was a mystery, to them, God is a personal agent who has his own interests that could be beyond human understanding. It's how they explain why bad things happen, and this attitude towards God definitely has Hellenistic influence since they also saw the gods as assholes with their own agendas
>>18419387The idea that God used the Nazis as an agent of punishment against the Jews (as He is said to have used, say, the Midianites in Judges 6) is commonplace in Orthodox Jewish thought. But that doesn't absolve the agent of punishment from guilt.
