“So what? I also had. And nothing compares to living under Turkish rule.”
Nonsense. Free access to the Kotel and kivrei tzadikim. More funding for Torah study than any other country on Earth. There are plenty of advantages to the Medinah.
Consider this also, Eretz Yisrael is once again an Emunah factory. Hundreds of thousands of baalei tshuvah and plenty who come to yiddishkite despite their assimilated upbringing in chutz laaretz, especially your beloved USA.
