I appreciate your acknowledgements, but it is completely unclear what your target is. Your first senetence ^, for example, is a statement that hangs out there: you agree that the concepts you listed before are not problematic, but then they are problematic due to intertwining them. There is no explanation here. As you clearly said at the beginning – you selected a position first and now wonder about things that contradict your pre-selected position and trying to explain away all these data points to make sure they fit your position. You are not the only one bothered. See comments by various posters under multiple news articles, where instead of expressing relief when there is less danger to Yidden in EY, first words out of their mouths is – don’t thank the army … there is some psychological issue behind that. Imagine if your wife were to cook you a dinner and you would reply – I am thanking Hashem for this, not you?
