Chareidim (the real ones, such as Satmar and Eidis Hareidos – as opposed to those who participate in the Israeli parliament and government in the hope of getting money as a reward), want an autonomous community. There were willing to let the goyim ran the mundane things, as long as they respected the autonomy of the frum community. While the period that ended in 1914 was not especially peaceful for anyone (though it was a lot better than what came afterwards), the Jews in Eretz Yisrael were left alone and were not seriously impacted by the problems and wars of the Ottoman Empire, had more rights than persecuted minorities in America, and the community steadily grew.
