It is certainly true that Hashem can do whatever He wants wherever He wants. But that does mean that one should play in traffic. (To be clear, I don’t mean to suggest that visiting or living in Eretz Yisrael under the Zionists is equivalent to playing in traffic.) As well, we daven that Hashem should watch over and keep safe all His children wherever they may be.
But Zionists seem to have this absurd knee-jerk reaction to even the slightest disturbance in chutz laAretz to the effect of, “see, everyone should move to Israel and be idolatrous “Religious Nationalists” like us!” What they neglect to consider, of course, is (in part) that Israel is, by far, the least safest place for Jews, when compared to “normal” places like non-gang/non-violent locales with a normal police force, as Joseph mentioned.
As I recall, after 9/11, the Zionist premier, in a classic Zionist move, attempting to garner love and sympathy from the gentile nations (attempting to “normalize” the Jewish people into a non-Jewish nationalist nation just like the gentiles), declared publicly to the effect that they in Israel had been having 9/11 all the time. The leader, himself, of that idol said it.
Joseph is correct: it seems that as soon as you (easily) prove to a Zionist that, if they were thinking rationally, they would realize that this particular aspect (safety under Zionist rule in E”Y) of Zionism (like the rest of it) is patently and embarrassingly absurd, they then switch tactics and start to get all “religious” and invoke the meraglim.
The Zionist “religious” use of the meraglim is actually part of the Zionist idolatry of grafting Nationalism onto, liHavdil, the Torah. Once you remove the idolatry of Zionism from the equation, the whole thing is revealed to be nothing more than a mirage of nationalism fraudulently posing as, liHavdil, Torah.
Regardless, getting back to the safety question, only the lust of idolatry and heresy (of Zionism) can fool and then convince otherwise bright and accomplished people to attempt to state, and then continue to attempt to defend the statement, that is safest for Jews to live in the Zionist paradise (Israel), with all the rivers of Jewish blood spilled there over the past century since the Zionists invaded, HY”D, rock-throwing attacks by the savages, knife-wielding savages now fully integrated into the population, a politician there calling for all Jews to arm themselves in the streets, etc.
