Charaidim don’t consider themselves “citizens” of Israel. Most of them (even those who take money) would be just as happy if the Arabs took over, as long as there would not be a subsequent massacre.
I think most chardim even in the US would prefer to live in a place where there was overt Anti-Semitism and discrimination as long as nobody was killed.
The First Lubavicher Rebbe when Napoleon was conquering the Europe started to give the jews freedom and liberty. The Alter Rebbe went against Napoleon (and was jailed and had to flee) because he felt freedom and liberty was bad for the jews.
