No. Muslims. But Mitzpeh Avihai is right next to the plush suburb of North Hebron. All the homes are new, the fields well irrigated and tended. Some really beautiful vineyards there. Since the Intifadas, there’s a high barbed wire fence between it and every Jewish place except Mitzpeh Avihai. but I think the strong religious hatred is more in the poorer areas, at least lately.
And so Israel is hauling Jewish families out of there... why? I agree it makes no sense. If these were flashpoints of dispute... but they are not.
