I’ve heard some people argue that the embassy move makes the Arabs made and when they are made more angry they will try and kill more of us therefore the move is bad.
What they want is for all the Jews to leave Israel. Anything less than that will make them mad. So are those making the above argument implying we should just give them the whole country? And that will lead to less Jews dying?
I think everyone agrees that someone who tries to replace mitzvah observance with falafel and planting some trees is a rasha. The question is what do we do now? Do we say we’re better off without the current Israeli government and prefer Arabs to take over? Or do we say it sure is terrible that there are so many atheists in Israel and in the government. But since I don’t want to be killed by Arabs and these guys are standing with guys between me and those guys with guns and are letting me keep Torah and mitvos in communities with the highest level of such observance in the world. And if the USA wants to help support my living in Israel and being able to daven at the kosel. Maybe I’ll take that over the alternative.
