I think we have no hope of understanding the situation until we understand the love some people have of particular, exact, pieces of land...their own orange or olive grove that has been in the family for what seems to them forever. Other land won't do. Ultimately it must...those of us who are detached from our ancestral lands, as is anyone whose family immigrated to N.A., can't understand this. We can't understand our own native people and why centuries later they are still mourning the Wallowa hills or Okeefonokee swamps...but it is a real emotion that has to be acknowledged and respected, even if things have gone too far in another direction for it to be gratified....
