ifti99: Great point about the Native Americans. In fact, the law exempts them from the draft and grants them autonomy and sovereignty precisely because they were here long before the Europeans. Thanks for pointing that out. We should carry over that example to the Chareidim in EY.

And, btw, the Ran in Nedarim paskins that dina dmalchusa does NOT apply to anyone in EY precisely because every Jew has an absolute G-d given right to live in EY, and the reason dina dmalchusa applies in other countries is because in return for the malchus granting Jews the right to live there we must obey (certain) their non-discriminatory laws that don’t violate halacha. In EY we have the halachic right to live there independent of any dina dmalchisa obligation. In chutz we don’t have that right.
