“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 seriously doubt that this is true. Most Chareidim I know take pride in the success of Israel and enjoy their position as citizens with full rights and free travel to the places they hold dear.
Also, there would almost certainly be a subsequent massacre. You can rephrase the statement so that “Jews are a small minority in the Middle East and all Jews should take part in their defense.”
