The tension that erupted again in the streets of Jaffa last week was not a result of the COVID-10 crisis or localized violence. What is provoking residents of this southernmost part of Tel Aviv to protest are long-term problems for which no solution is in sight: deliberate neglect, an absence of infrastructure, crime, and police violence and over-enforcement, along with a lack of opportunities and a reality in which veteran residents are being squeezed out of their homes.
The messages and discourse of the demonstrators are directly in synch with a new documentary, “The Guide to Gentrification,” which deals with various ongoing processes in Jaffa and the systems behind them. The series, created by filmmakers Osnat Trabelsi, Keren Shayo and Lavi Vanounou (and supported by the Rabinovich Foundation for the Arts and the Mifal Hapayis national lottery), is now being aired in three parts on Hot cable TV’s Channel 8.
