The lottery aims to provide more affordable housing for Jaffa’s Arab population by auctioning off 28 apartments at a 30% discount to the market price. The deadline for applying is June 21. Participation is limited to Arabs who have lived in the city for at least three years, have at least one child and do not currently own a home.
A spokeswoman for the Justice Ministry confirmed that the attorney general was inquiring into the legality of the matter and that the city had not consulted him in advance. Two months ago, the Tel Aviv District Court had ordered the city to reconsider the criteria for affordable housing lotteries in general to prevent discrimination. The lotteries now bar participants who are age 45 or over and impose stringent income requirements.

In the last fortnight, Jaffa has been lit up by the sparks of revolution, which the Israeli media has consistently presented without context and in a distorted way. To contend with the distorted presentation of reality, we need to examine the events of the last few weeks from the perspective of Jaffa’s historical, social and political context, and to understand that this context is at the root of the matter.
Above all we wish to stress that what we are witnessing now is a revolutionary spark calling for profound change, rather than “clashes” or “riots” as often depicted by the Israeli media. Therefore, the response of the state and its extensions – the police, right-wing settlers and the vast majority of the Israeli media – must also be understood as an institutional counter-reaction aimed at suppressing Jaffa’s indigenous population.

Chances are you already know that Tel Aviv is the Bauhaus capital of the world.
But Israel’s city of seaside fun is not all about curvy balconies and stark white corners. In fact, it’s also full of big, gray buildings built in a style called Brutalism that resonates with local history and ethos.
