apartment complex in Jaffa is only offering homes to Jewish buyers

"A new luxury apartment complex under construction in the Ajami neighborhood of Jaffa is only offering homes to Jewish buyers, Channel 10 television reported this week." "Ajami, a once-predominantly Arab area of the mixed city, has seen a wave of gentrification and construction that, according to its Arab residents, has priced them out of the market and led to an influx of Jewish home owners." "Orthodox Jewish Israelis have in recent years begun to move into Arab areas of mixed cities in an attempt to cement the Jewish presence there." (thanks Amir)
