ujm> On the other hand, every Jew has a Torah right to live in Eretz Yisroel
I heard of this Ran but did not learn it. What is the context – paying taxes to a local hegemon? In the Israeli context, you are not just paying ransom, but for specific services that the government provides. There are halochos that cities can charge for building walls. If you don’t want to pay for, say, IDF, then at least you should not use their protection.
