DAF YOMI KESUBOS 111a 1) They should not go up (to E. Yisroel) together by force (like a wall) 2) They should not rebel against the Goyim 3) The Goyim should not oppress the Yidden, harshly. The ויואל משה claims that the שלש שבועןת is applicable today and that is one of the main reasons why he opposed so strongly Zionism. There are many Gedolim & Poskim who although oppose Zionism argue against the Rebbe and hold that the establishment of the Zionist State is not in violation of the ג' שבועות. Some of the reasons* why the ג' שבועות are not applicable: 1) The רי"ף ,רא"ש ,רמב"ם, טור,שו"ע  and scores of others, non of them mention the ג' שבועות as a הלכה למעשה ר' אריה ליב הכהן זצ"ל writes that his father the חפץ חיים (anti Zionist) never ever mentioned בעל פה או בכתב  the ג' שבועות. In all likelihood because the פוסק אחרון held it not to be הלכה למעשה. 2) We can't establish a הלכה from a  מדרש אגדה. The רמב"ם - איגרת תימן refers to the ג' שבועות. as a משל 3) The אבני נזר asks  Where and when did the Bnei Yisrael ever accept the שלש שבועות? The אבני נזר answers it never happened physically with the Bnei Yisrael but with their נשמה and there is no עונש for transgressing the שלש שבועות. 4) ר' חיים ויטל writes that the ג' שבועות.were only for the first thousand years. 5) The הפלא"ה claims that the ג' שבועות. is only applicable when coming from בבל and not from other countries. 6) Since the גויים didn't keep their part of the שבועה therefore we are not bound to our part. Now you will understand why the Agudas Yisroel representative  (הרב איטשע מאיר לוין (חתן האמרי אמת זצ"ל was one of the signatories on the מגילת העצמאות  of Medinas Yisrael and the Gedolim weren't concerned with the ג' שבועות. The .ויואל משה- מאמר ג' שבועות deals with some of  these issues and defends his position.
