I actually think Tzvi is at least somewhat correct here. G-d does judge people for being relativistic and tolerating abominable sins.
well obviously. Though he mentioned an interesting thing about sexual sins being punishes by taking away land. I hadn't heard that one.

extract from web, about rabbi ovadia yosef's son - a right winger apparently - criticising his father for "selling jerusalem" for 478 million shekels.

From the Aruzsheva website: Aaron Klein, Jerusalem Bureau Chief for WorldNetDaily, reports that the son of Shas party head Rabbi Ovadia Yosef blasted his father for remaining in a government which is seeking to divide Jeruslalem. Rabbi Jacob Yosef accused the ultra-Orthodox Shas party of "selling Jerusalem" for 478 million Israeli shekels, or $138 million. Earlier this month, the Knesset's Finance Committee approved $138 million in government funds to Shas' educational institutions as part of the party's coalition agreement with Olmert.
