Point is, someone DID take it away, and as for what the land is worth... how do we know what it's worth to them?
I own some land down south in the Algarve. It's been in my family for over 300 years. It ain't worth much, but it still has the house my grandfather was born in and my beloved almond trees.
Now let's assume some spaniard decides it's his to take.
Is it the land? Is it the fact we fought them for about a thousand years? Is it me and mine who are considered worthless that would make me fight for it?
Would I die for it or accept children to die for it? No. Would I kill for it? Maybe.
It's not in my upbringing and culture. But I have the means to survive elsewhere in MY country without MY land. Can they? Should they?
