Summary[edit]

Description
English: Jaffa. The entrance of the community "Andromeda". Jaffa used to be the main Palestinian port. According to the 1947 UN partition plan (proposing the creation of an Israeli and a Palestinian state in the Palestinian territory) Jaffa should have been a Palestinian enclave within Israel, but in the 1948-1949 conflict Israel conquered and annected the city. Although most Palestinians fled, most of the population was still Arab after the war, so the city was annected to Tel Aviv municipality, in order not to leave Jaffa in Arab administration. Since then, a process of depalestinisation has been carried out. Many Palestinian houses have been knocked down and many inhabitants have been forced to leave, while Jaffa has turned to be a residential quarter for upper class Israelis from Tel Aviv. "Andromeda" is the symbol of the current process of colonization, based not only on class but also on ethnic status. Giaffa. Ingresso della comunità residenziale recintata "Andromeda". Giaffa un tempo era il principale porto palestinese. Il piano dell'ONU per la divisione della Palestina (che proponeva, nel 1947, la creazione di uno stato israeliano e di uno palestinese in territorio palestinese) prevedeva che Giaffa diventasse un'enclave palestinese in territorio ebraico. Ma nel conflitto del 1948-1949 la città fu conquistata e annessa da Israele. Nonostante la maggior parte dei palestinesi fossero fuggiti, quelli rimasti costituivano ancora la maggioranza della popolazione alla fine della guerra. Per non lasciare l'amministrazione della città in mano ai palestinesi, Giaffa fu quindi annessa alla municipalità di Tel Aviv. Da allora è in atto un processo di depalestinizzazione. Molte case palestinesi sono state distrutte, molti abitanti sono stati costretti ad andarsene, e Giaffa si è ormai trasformata in un quartiere residenziale per la classe medio-alta degli ebrei di Tel Aviv. "Andromeda" è il simbolo di una gentrification che qui è non solo di classe ma anche etnica.
