A question for AviK . Say history turned out differently, or we had a time machine and you went back in time. Would you be living in E”Y if there was no midinat yisroel, say under the Mandate or Ottoman rule (assuming you had permission to enter)? Or would you say, it is too difficult/dangerous/economically unviable/ etc? The mitzva would still apply though, so you would have to get a heter, right?
