Yes, there are Hamas sympathizers in Jaffa. Shacar directs us to Pardess Daka. This is the territory of the Daka clan, whose 350-odd members live in an enclave surrounded by the Jews of Jaffa Gimmel, right on the border with Bat Yam. They'll think you're the police. The men of the Daka clan deal drugs right out in the open within the enclave.
Sanitation is such that the children suffer an unusually high rate of viral diseases.
There are no paved roads in Pardess Daka, which covers about 20 dunams. It's dominated by a vast, fetid pool of water fed by various municipal drainage systems. There are mounds of garbage covered with dirt. Trash is everywhere. Many of the homes are shanties made of wood planks and metal sheeting, others are made of raw concrete.
