Not into the basement, or into a suite with renta, they live in the house with you completely rent free, and then start claiming areas room by room. To the point where your own family is now living in a shack on the corner of the property. Then someone else from a different city all together, tells you you can find peace by giving away 75 percent of your land, and you won't live in persectution (which is not guaranteed). YOU yourself are the rightful owners of the property and you are told from some outside person that you need to give up most of your things that you hold near and dear.
It's really sad.
edit. i know this is really simplifying it, however its how I form my understanding and empathy.

This has literally occurred almost everywhere since time immemorial. Especially in the new world and our own back yard. Thank god we are not experiencing terror attacks associated with the "Land Back" movement. Why is it the Palestinians are the only ones that have this chip on their shoulder and still taking up arms to this very day? Any out of all, why do they get disproportionate media attention? Could it be they're being used as pawns in a greater geo-political agendas by the Great Powers?
