Lilmod,
How optimistic, Eretz Yisroel is the best place to live because it’s the best place to get killed! (ר”ל)
OP,
A fundamental tenent of our belief system is אחכה לו בכל יום שיבוא. No matter how bleak things look, let’s remember that we’re on the threshold to a much better world.
As the Rambam describes (הלכות מלכים ומלחמות ומלך המשיח פי”ב ה”ה):
At that time [of Melech haMoshiach], there will be no famine nor war, no jealousy nor competition, and all delicacies will be found like dust… And the world will be filled with the knowledge of Hashem as the water covers the seabed.
