"With Sharon, we can never hope for anything good," says Mohammed Safad, 59, working a cigarette cart at the entrance to Sabra. "He will never let us return. He only says no, no, no."

The two Hindu families on the first floor, the Asranis and the Pathaks, squabble over who will pay for the ambulance to cart poor, unsightly Vishnu away...
