LU,
I wrote that some Jews are exempt from living in EY just as some are exempt from fasting on Yom Kippur. Why do you keep harping on this?
As for tzitziot, my point was that it is a mitzva kiumit. There is no obligation to wear a four-cornered garment.

Winnie,
Actually there are several sheetot regarding techelet. However, to my knowledge no one says that an incorrect techelet makes one over on the mitzva. Those who are against say that it looks like haughtiness as almost no gedolei Torah wear it.
As for your hypothetical question, you are correct that I would still need a heter not to make aliya (Uganda doesn’t start. It would be no different than living in Monsey). However, the conditions under Erdogan would probably make the heter much easier. As for a Mandatory government, who knows how it would look? Your assumption of permission to enter is also a big assumption. I cannot see how either country would allow Jewish emigration let alone give an absolute right to acquire citizenship.
