Strife

This is the strangest story I've read in a while.
The only two Jews in Afghanistan, Ishaq Levin and Zebulon Simentov, spent all the last decade arguing and trying to get each other into trouble with the authorities.
Levin has now passed away and Simentov is dancing a jig:

He said he felt no sadness at the passing of his sparring partner.
“He was a very bad man who tried to get me killed,” he said, grinning as he warmed his feet on a diesel-burning stove in his run-down living room. “Now I am the Jew here, I am the boss.”
