Their presence is due to the fact that Afula is really the only city, of any size at all, anywhere in the area, so it is here that they come to eat out and shop.
Afula's longtime nickname is "Capital of the Valley"
Within Israel, Afula is known (somewhat rightfully so) as a boring, dusty place which it is far from desirable to live in, whose inhabitants are close-minded and all dress and act the same.

 Jewish Sightseeing in Afula, Israel
San Diego, CA (special) -- In one of the terrorist bombings that rocked Israel in the year after the 1993 Oslo Accords, eight persons were murdered in Afula by perpetrators who were traced to nearby Jenin in the Palestinian Authority.
Noting that elements of Afula are "very right wing," Mirone said he did not dare to go forward with the Jenin-Afula cooperative program until after the prime minister's election was won by Barak, lest it stir up a backlash against his party and its leader.
Additionally, he said, nearly half the population of Afula are recent immigrants from Ethiopia and the former Soviet Union, who require many educational and social services.

Monday's blast in the northern working-class town of Afula near the West Bank was claimed by a militia linked to the mainstream group Fatah, proving particularly embarrassing to the Palestinian prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas, who has denounced violence and promised to rein in the militants.
He repeated his demand that Israel accept the "road map" peace plan, complaining that the wave of attacks has eased pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to sign on to the three-year blueprint to stop 31 months of violence and create a Palestinian state.
Israel blamed Yasser Arafat for one of the steepest spikes in violence in nearly three years of fighting, saying he encourages terror, even if he is not directly involved in planning attacks.

AFULA, Israel — Sitting at the bedside of his wounded nephew and surveying the other wounded who lay nearby, Yehuda Levi marveled aloud at how wide a spectrum of people a terrorist attack affects.
The relentless killing has raised the anger in Israel's political debate to new heights, to a point where it may have begun to threaten the future of Israel's national unity government, which has enjoyed strong public support since Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was elected last February.
Afula's day of horror began when Nazer Hamad, 27, a father of two from the West Bank village of Arka, which borders on Jenin, stepped off of a bus bound for Kiryat Shmoneh and began spraying the crowded bus station with bullets on October 4.

 United Jerusalem - - Historical Perspectives -- 12/24/2003
AFULA, Israel (Reuters) - Israeli surgeon Shmuel Yurfest has saved the lives of many people, including an injured Palestinian suicide bomber and a militant bomb-maker whose severed hand he reattached in an intricate operation.
But after decades fighting for the lives of his patients, the 48-year- old vascular surgeon is now waging his own personal battle after being badly wounded in a Palestinian suicide bombing six months ago that left him virtually blind and deaf.
But Daraghmeh removed her veil to carry out the bombing in Afula last May, disguising herself in the fashionable clothes of a modern Israel woman so nobody would suspect she had a 11-pound bomb of high-grade explosives strapped to her body.
