Hakatan, it’s silly of you to not admit that we owe hakaras hatov to IDF soldiers because you wish to nitpick about whether they wish harm upon all of us or only those of us in Eretz Yisrael. If I were to concede that point (which is difficult to do when we see terrorism directed at Yidden in India, France, the US, etc.) would you then admit it?
You can blame the hatred of all Yidden on Zionism, and I won’t disagree, but that doesn’t change the fact that we owe hakaras hatov to individuals who did not cause it, but do risk their lives to protect Yidden.
Whether you want to call it arvus or not, just plain ahavas Yisrael should cause you to be makir tov to those who save the lives of your fellow Yidden.
