Description: 

Jaffa is one of the latest targets of efforts to judaize Israel's mixed cities through a combination of economic and political gentrification.  We talk with Jewish and Arab/Palestinian activists in Tel Aviv and Jaffa about their efforts to roll back a wave of evictions and house demolitions aimed at changing Jaffa's demographics and aboutt the continuing and deepening marginalization of Israel's Arab citizens.
