For millenniums folks have been cherishing and warring over the southern Levant. During those wars there has been a lot of destruction, many wounded and killed. Along with war there is loss and gain of territory. Some folks live the rest of their lives wondering what they did wrong, or could have done better, to avoid losing their lands. Others pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and get on with their new lives, under their new conquerors, or leaving to other lands.
