Physical fitness and finesse crop up on the daily agenda. In one of the last places that women regularly gather without men around, there is much discussion of quads, glutes and pecs.

From his bulging briefcase he pulls out an assortment of Palestinian weapons: rocks, metal spears, and spikes designed to rupture tires. By his count, 541 vehicles were damaged and 30 Jews injured in Hebron during April and May alone.
