Reply to comment by Azeze1 in TIL that William I's response to northern rebellion in England was to order the wholesale slaughter of the inhabitants of northern shires, and the burning of food, homes, crops, tools, and livestock so that survivors would freeze or starve by AnselaJonla

Yeah, I don't think people are holding 1000 year grudges mate.

Edit: Seeing as I'm getting edgy throwaway comments, I'm not talking about the world, I'm talking about England.

I’m guessing history and religious study weren’t your best subjects.

Please, find me a study where people in the North of England are holding a grudge against the south because of a king 1000 years ago. If you ever tried anything more than being smarmy on the internet, you'd know that historians rely on facts and evidence.

I'm illustrating that they do. What would make any other group of humans less susceptible to that, regardless of what they call their homeland?

That was my point.

The issue is that your example has had continuous developments since then. If everything happened in Palestine, once, 1000 years ago, people would have moved on. Which the event of OOP is talking about. Like I get what you mean, but we're talking different timelines.

Clearly someone's never been to a mosque with Christian parents. Or even a black church with white Christian parents.
