House evictions forge new alliances as Jewish and Arab Israelis face eviction

South Tel Aviv evictionsGentrification is happening all over the world. But, like everything in Israel, here it comes with historical baggage and deep political implications.

In 1948, Israel forced some 700,000 Palestinians from their homes. Villages and houses were destroyed. And some of those that remained standing were Hebraicised. The city of Jaffa, for example, was given the Hebrew name Yafo. Salame became Kfar Shalem.

But the young state did more than rename places. It also repopulated them. Both Israel and the Jewish Agency turned over "abandoned" Palestinian properties to poor Jews. Oftentimes, the new residents were Mizrachim (Easterners) - Jews from Arab countries.

Today, some of these Mizrachi families still live in poverty. And now they face eviction as the government sells their homes to the highest bidder.
