Drifting thought-clouds.. one day, I want this to be some kind of thesis. Living in Israel, it's impossible for a person to avoid thinking about land. Land and People .. our connection to this physical land and space. Our claim on parts of this land is a spiritual claim, one based on Torah and a belief in Torah to begin with.
But when we get down to it, we're killing and hating because of actual earth and soil.. the rights to possess this space.
Possession. Ownership. Not the first concepts that jump to mind, when thinking of nature, of land or your environment.
How can anyone 'own' land, other than in a financial sense.. Whose rights prevail? Indigenous, or those who have civilised? Whose ownership is more powerful.. and why?
