Recently wanted to add "this land" to a Playlist, but wanted a more modern cover and it is damn hard to find a version that includes the original lyrics about private property and trespassing.

Christians mostly. Their book says the world can't end unless the Jews control the holy land. They can't enter heaven until the rapture, which happens at the end. No one wants to chill in the dirt for a millenia or two until they go to the good place so they do everything they can to hasten the end days and get to heaven sooner. But they're doing it for everyone, so it's totally not selfish. This is also why they can't leave uncontacted tribes alone, the rapture can't happen until every living soul has been offered salvation through christ, whether they accept it or not. Everyone knowing about Jesus divinity and jews in israel are two of the checklist items to end the game and be judged.
So that's pretty much it, Christians support Israel because they literally want to end the world.
This is literally why suicide was made a mortal sin. Early Christians were killing themselves to get to heaven and the clergy of the time made it a sin because dead Christians pay no tithes.
Do you regret not asking? If those floorboards were still in usable shape somewhere in a shed would you want them now? It's been 15 years and I still regret leaving a completely innocuous but immensely personal random ass piece of pipe somewhere that my grandmother could accidentally scrap it. I would absolutely have carried that piece of garbage with me all these years. I have so many memories from the little time we had, who knows what we could have accomplished together.
Came here to say this, thinking I'd be the only one. If I can't remember the exact page I enjoy thumbing through and skimming sections til I get to where I left off. Most of the time though I just open up to where I left off and continue
Bless'd is he who can laugh at himself, for he shall never cease to be amused.
