They are making a point that the way Israel and the Zionist movement are evolving, it will lead to disaster for the Jewish people, and we shouldn’t put all our eggs in one basket. One likelihood is that at some point the Muslims will defeat Israel (eventually). Another possibility is that those countries protecting Israel will lose interest (especially as the holocaust slips from memory over the centuries). Another possibility is that the ruling class in Israel will continually work against the frum community leaving an Israel that culturally and religious “European” but in no way Jewish as we define it. As the hilonim become more and more fanatical (can you imagine anyone 50 years ago believe that the frei Jews today would embrace gay marriage and legalized abortion – who knows what they’ll do in the future), Israel become less and less stable.
