I'm afraid it wasn't difficult for those whose land it had been. The book Blood Brothers gives a good picture of what it was like. (The author's father is a real hero to me. When asked how he could bear to take a job as a common laborer on a farm he had owned, he said, I planted those olive trees, and I can't trust anybody else to look after them properly. That's stewardship.)
