Disproportionate punishment

 

Parshas Hashavua לך לך Mori V'Rabi Harav Hagaon R.Shlomo.Miller Shlita said, In the Parsha, Hashem said," ואברכה מברכיך ומקללך אאר I will bless those who bless you  and  those who curse you I will curse". בלק was aware of this, yet he still insisted on having the  Bnei Yisrael cursed. even though as a result of this,  בלק himself will be cursed.  The שונאי ישראל attempt to harm the Yidden even when  they know they are harming themselves & will lose out by doing so. The Hamas ימ"ש are aware that every time they attack  the Yidden the Israeli army incurs disproportionately way more punishment on them, yet they keep on  repeating their attacks  because their שנאת ישראל overrides any logic.
