The age of apologies

[Hazir]

You're going to have to unpack that for me, I don't get the reference.

You stated it yourself; giving back empty unused land is easy, but the nicer, more valuable parts, are never going to be returned or given just recompensation for. So tough luck if your ancestors were driven off some real estate that nowadays gets its new owner top dollars.

I guess he means that if you steal more and build on it you get to keep it. Presumably the best pieces of land that were taken are in use and the last valuable land remains.

Pretty much that yes.
