Pumping weights at the gym forms co-existence between Arabs and Jews – Despite prevailing winds constantly pushing Jews and Arabs in mixed cities to be mindful of their differences, one gym in Jaffa celebrates ethnic groups coming together to sweat it out without ever bringing up politics | ynetnews

Back in May of 2021, when operation the war in Gaza, known as Operation Guardian of the Walls, was at its zenith, and tensions between Jews and Arabs were escalating in all mixed cities nationwide, there was one small gym in Jaffa where things were completely normal. 
The iron-pumping routine remained undisturbed by neither Jews nor Arabs. Not one spoke of politics and despite the outside, everyone inside just focused on lifting and sweating.
