The evil in the world is the great deceiver. Black is white, white is black. Whenever a Jew is doing what G-d asks of Him her…it’s going to resist and fight him. The more important the task, the harder the fight. It doesn’t take more than a brief look in the Tanach, to see that whenever great people did great things, great evil was there to resist them, even to the point of death. If someone says it’s a crime for a Jew to just walk on a small part of HHB they are saying it’s a crime to be a Jew. If they throw rocks and attack a Goy who says “am Israel Chai” while walking on HHB, then it’s a crime to be a Jew in Israel. Laying down and being comfortable with such intolerance is against principals of Torah. When the Jews came back from Bavel and with the niviim started rebuilding the 2nd Bays Hamigdash, guess what, they faced huge obstacles even attacks back in that day as well. Being comfortable to lay down and give up 30% of the mitzvot in the Torah because some arab thugs tell Israel what to do with their own land is wrong.
