>>"Most Americans have moved around quite a bit and usually, but not always, don’t feel a deep connection to one place."
I can relate. I've lived in quite a few countries and can't really call ANY country/place my home.
>>"Few have what might be considered an ancestral home and so they don’t grasp the love of a homeland like the Palestians do. "
Completely agree!
Chang, While agreeing with the sentiments you have quoted, I think there's a flip-side to this story. We who have left our roots do not owe loyalty to any country or culture. I like to think we are internationalists, part of the human race.
Yes, I agree with you too!
