Unfortunately, much of this consciousness has been downtoned by those factors that do not wish to recognize, acknowledge and give thanks to G-D who has given us this Land. The emotions of a Jew should be attuned to react and to respond in love to a gift which has been given to him. G-D has given us this Land. Not to recognize that means that a person's heart has allegorically turned to stone. He is completely insensitive to the Divine gift of Eretz Yisrael in our very generation.
T here are two primary emotions of the heart.
One is love, and the other is fear. Perhaps due to fear, people believe that if we do not negotiate and compromise with our non- Jewish neighbors, not only won't we be able to retain what we already have, but the situation might degenerate and become dangerous. In Kabbalah and Chassidut we are taught that when there are two emotions, one of love, especially love with regard and in response to G-D, and the other of fear, the love must overcome and subdue the fear. On the emotional plane we have to be more sensitive to the fact that G-D, in his gift of love for us, has also given us this Land. We must strengthen our awareness of these invaluable gifts, making any thought of relinquishing any part of the gift absolutely unthinkable.
