Who cares about not being able to live in Arab countries today? Jews fare a lot better these days in Israel than they have in thousands of years. We can safely fall to the ground and recite ???? ??? ?????. Sure people got killed over the century. People get killed in New York as well.
Unfortunately, in the quest to promote a Shita, people use all sorts of logic that would be repulsive to themselves in any other context. One example of this is the making light of any Ness that took place in EY, or its founding and wars. The arguments sound like any you would hear from the typical local Apikores. They can be applied to the story of Purim and Chanukah as well, and easily enough to many Nissim mentioned in TaNaCh.
