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.
