...Jewish communities are Israeli fortresses in the midst of Arab hostility. The stark reality is told in the barbed wire strung around Kiryat Arba, the largest settlement (pop. 1,700), and in the armed soldier who stands at the gate of Karnei Shomron. Rabbi Moshe Levinger, 42, of Kiryat Arba, a spokesman for the settlers, admits that he always carries a gun. "The Arabs don't want us here," he explains. "They'd kill us all if they could."'
