My dad's Israeli, and his story shows how a homeland shapes identity. Quotes speak of loving the land where parents sleep, of myths that feel like a home for the muses, and of longing for a place even when war tears it apart. They also note that a homeland isn’t a suitcase; it’s a feeling that stays with you.
![“If [President Obama] does not go on the offensive against ISIS...they are coming here. This is just not about Baghdad, this is just not about Syria, this is about our homeland. And if we get attacked because he has no strategy to protect us, then he will have committed a blunder for the ages.” quote by Lindsey Graham](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d5e/lindsey-graham-3593_age_if-president-obama-does-not-go-on-the-of_998412.jpg)
