If you give taxes then yes you are entitled to benefits. That wasn’t my point. My point was if you are so opposed to keeping the laws of the land because you believe that living in eretz yisrael is going to force your kids to go off the Derech and the only way to get your voice heard is by acting like an animal, then probably Hashem would rather you live in chutz laaretz and stay frum.
Every Jew has a right to live in eretz yisrael but not on his or her own terms. If I want to sell drugs and the government wants to deport me back to the USA, can I still use the argument that Israel belongs to all Jews? How about if your neighbor is a child molester and they want to deport him. Will you say then, “eretz yisrael belongs to all of us yidden so he should be allowed to stay here” or will you say “good riddance, send him to planet mars for all I care”.
Ideally the government would do everything according to Halacha and we daven for Mashiach every day. Meanwhile, the medina is in charge and Baruch Hashem there are some chareidi politicians who could possibly figure this out if they had been approached respectfully.
Btw probably a large part of the reason the chareidim are in this mess in the first place is due to the fact that during the last election, avreichim were kicked out of their Kollels if they voted for the wrong chareidi party. Instead having achdus, they split themselves up amongst the politicians running and they lost seats for the chareidim in the Knesset.
