As the bombs fell on Gaza, the project's Palestinian producer, Yousef Atwa, wrote on the site's blog: "It is hardly possible to take it anymore," and let viewers know that one of the main Gaza characters, an ambulance driver called Abu Khalil, "has a broken heart" after losing a colleague in the war.

[Insert heart attack here.] But when the real estate stars align, a pair of frustrated sellers can switch homes with each other. While there are few tax advantages or closing-costs savings, house-swapping promises the peace of mind that comes from unloading your house at the exact time you buy another. Although such trades are still rare, thousands...
