AviK, I am glad you keep on bringing sources- like I said there are Rabbanim on both sides of the issue, and I know that you are following your Rav’s psak. That does not contradict that there are rabbanim who hold otherwise and that people are allowed to follow these rabbanim too.
It’s funny, you remind me of a seminary teacher who was a fervent Zionist and used to lecture us on the very same points you mention. It didn’t work though. Out of that whole class, only a small handful actually live in E”Y now and it had little do with his attempts at brainwashing.
No I do not wear tzitis, but I do live in E”Y. So does Lilmod. We don’t deny that living in EY is special in a way that Chul cannot be.
The more halachically knowledgeable posters out there can explain why tzitzis is unique among mitzvos that men go out of their way to make sure they do the mitzva, even though technically it only applies in a specific situation.
