Joseph – your saying G-d forbid 5 to 6 million could die here in Israel but that until now remains hypothetical. I’m talking about 6 million that actually DID die in Europe. So when we are discussing risks based on actual events and actual numbers mathematically you would have to conclude it’s several tens of times more dangerous in the last century to live in Europe than in the land of Israel.
I think your issue is your hung up on zionism and can’t separate it from living in the actual land which is ironically the same as most arabs and other israel haters today. I’m by no means a zionist but I love living in Eretz Yisrael because Hashem gave it to me not hertzl or ben gurion. Despite their deepest intentions, within the state they created the charedi community is growing by leaps and bounds and the non-charedi community is now starting to shift much more heavily to traditional if not dati. I personally tolerate the government with no small amount of distaste as a necessary evil much like I would the federal government if I were living back in the states (as a great deal of goyim there probably do as well).
Do some chazara in Tanach. See how giant amounts of Jews were taken out in wars r”l throughout shoftim and melachim. Often the government then not only wasn’t frum – they were into avoda zara. Yet the only time I can recall people leaving the land because they didn’t feel it was safe was after the murder of Gedalia ben Achikam, and that fact was viewed as so tragic that we have a fast day until today commemorating it. You can try to argue that maybe it’s a suffek whether or not it’s a mitzvah to live in eretz Yisrael today but can you argue that there is even the chance of maybe a suffek of a mitzvah in living in New York?
