Our land? Have you gone mad? Did I miss the memo telling us Moshiach came? How can anyone besides Joseph talk like that? If the arabs were in control, or the British, or anyone else, you would be subject to their rule. Face it, the irrelegious are the sovereignty and their rule is no different from your perspective than any other ruler.
Agreed 100%.
But, the same way if the British or Arabs were in control, there might be no moral duty to join the army, the same can be true.
Now, I happen to think that even under the current regime, there is some moral duty to contribute, but I think it is tempered by the other sides willingness to cooperate with us. So that, if the other side is trying to destroy religion, then we have no duty to play into their hands. And, that is how I understand the case to be.
