Holding the feeling that they will return one day, never to ever do so.

Unsettling, disruptive, takes you out of your comfort zone? Definitely.

Just one sided 'woe is us! We are the victims here!'

People on the receiving end currently - they may not be Israelis or Jews, but they are human beings too.
Seems like there is a bit of a blind spot there. A really big one.
