Jaffa was a Palestinian city until 1948 when gangs of armed Jewish thugs randomly murdered people in the streets, bombed markets and public buildings, drove tens of thousands out and stole the entire city. These young people are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the small percent who managed to stay, to hold on to their homes and properties and who have survived as the remnants of a once-thriving community.
