Modern Politics and the meraglim

When the meraglim came into Kena'an, Hashem caused a number of deaths so that the meraglim would be ignored. A possible suggestion about the political turmoil throughout the world is to keep the nations so stirred up that they cannot focus their attention on Eretz Yisrael.

Also as a result of the terrorist actions, the nations are being forced to fight against those who would otherwise be actively attempting to destroy us.
