...fight over there has widely expanded the definition of threat. Car drives too close to your convoy - suicide bomber or stupid driver? Male with a shovel on the side of a road at 2 a.m. - coming home late from work or digging an IED hole? On the roof of a house within line of sight of an IED explosion - trigger man, cameraman, or just enjoying an evening on the roof when he heard an explosion and came over to the edge to look...

Amir left a month later, traveling in Asia for a time, then working in Amsterdam and now New York City. Ilan moved to a village 20 km north; the house meant for him remains half-finished. Yossi's daughters needed counseling, particularly the 5-year-old. "All my plans," says Pnina, "all my dreams of having a farm here, and when I get older, my family around me," were...
