The most popular club in Israel, Beitar Jerusalem, has a new Gulf owner. This is nothing unusual for a football club these days. But this purchase was different because of Beitar Jerusalem's special place in Israeli football.
Beitar Jerusalem is a big club with big ambitions, but they are being held back by their “far-right and extremely violent ultra-group”, La Familia.
Why has the club never fielded an Arab player? Who are La Familia, and why do they have such a big say in how the club is run? Multiple owners have not managed to change the perception of the club, will this new one be able to?
James Montague explains.

FIFA: Racism is strictly prohibited in Football
Beitar: *How about I do anyway?*
fifa won't stand up to jews
Well if they stand up to them, they'll just get all the conservatives slandering them as anti-semites because god knows Israel can do no wrong...
Yes
It's okay. Naz1 killed 6 million of jews. Beitar being racist doesn't even make it even. Please understand us
@@ricksanchez25 it's not about getting "even" 🤦🏻♂️

Beitar Jerusalem: Hold my beer.
Tho you have understand that in both clubs most of the fans aren't racist
@@Adam-ym4qf of course, the ultras of clubs are always a minority of the fanbase. However when theyre burning buildings and shooting people its clearly a big issue for the club and society as a whole

FIFA : politics and racism have no place in football
Beitar : STFU
Its the whole of israeli football. For example, the meaning of "hapoel" (in hapoel tel aviv's name, and in the names of many more sports clubs) is "the worker", as a symbol of the socialist movement of which hapoel is a part. Israeli football is generally very political
@@tombak8742 I'll assume you're an Israeli, do you think it's possible for this behavior to be eradicated ?
@@nsd781 i am israeli and no, i dont think it could be eradicated. To be honest the acceptance of the sheikh among the beitar fans seems to be driven just by of the money he brings to the club. Racists will remain racist, but i guess we will see less incidents, so that is also something...
Still, the hate towards arabs among the jews (im a jew myself) is sickening, and i am tired of the racism in this country
@@nsd781 Because of our PM the right hates the left, and the left is tired of the right, everything is getting worse
Is Benny Gantz left-wing and does he think the two-state solution a good idea?
This club is really not Israel's most popular club. Israel's most popular club is either Maccabi Haifa or Maccabi Tel Aviv.
גדול אתה
Nonsense.
Beitar always had the most fans in Israel.
Macabi tell aviv is probably the richest club but beitar is more popular
1. Maccabi tel aviv
2.Macccabi heifa
3.hapoel tel aviv
4.beitar jerusalem
I've heard of Maccabi Tel Aviv when I was young, when Chelsea had to face them in the Champions league play off around 2004. The others I found out about later on
How does UEFA and FIFA allow this team to compete under their names? Especially with their whole say no to racism thing.
It’s a israeli club. It’s ok for them
Hello. I'm from israel and you've made a great research on beitar history. although i must fix one misconception about this club, beitar isn't the most popular club in israel, that perception may derive from the fact that beitar actually affiliate with the likud party which currently they are the dominant party in the israeli politics, but it doesn't necessarily mean that all of the party voters supports in beitar jerusalem as well.
Is Hapoel Tel Aviv more popular? Even thought they're not doing very well, does their left-wing policy and image of peace between Jews and Arabs attract fans?
@@3dsaulgoodman43 honestly i cant give you an exact answer but hapoel tel aviv is one of the biggest teams of the israeli league ( there are 4 teams that considered as the biggest such: maccabi heifa, maccabi tel aviv, hapoel tel aviv, and beitar jerusalem. Traditionally, in terms of domestic titles and number of fans.)
I would say that hapoel tel aviv has a good and loyal base of fans across the country, especially in kibbutzim and other cities that have a patterns of left parties voting. (In the old sector at least.)
several years ago the club got relegated to the second league due to economic poor management, that later had lead to a deep crisis amid their fans. the club has managed to come back to the top league in the following season. right now the club is in the bottom of top league table.
in my opinion hapoel tel aviv is struggling to attract new and young fans because the club as a brand is suffering from constant deterioration. the criticism in the media about the management and even their style of football might cause an attrition and disgust to certain people. in generally people wants to be associated with a successful brand and at the moment hapoel tel aviv it's just the opposite.
i hope the things there will be ok and rebalance again someday because this club has a massive added value to the israeli football.
@@user-fc6iw1nd8r isn’t maccabi Haifa relatively the biggest club because they’ve had the most success in European competitions?
I am also from Israel and you’re wrong
Beitar is the must popular club in Israel
@@ari-jg6mn well maccabi haifa and hapoel tel aviv arguably have even achievements in Europe
I hope Tifo makes a video about BREXIT and what impact it would have on football particularly the premier league

@@tigercap100 it hasn’t actually happened yet, how can it be awesome?
I love how they explain it really helps you understand, which is why I try to watch as many as possible keep it up.
And we thought PSG ultras were bad...
i saw like a 45 min documentary or something like that once here on YT on this club with footage of the fans walking to the stadium chanting gathering, and in the stadium
i could not believe what i saw, wtf are we supporting over there?
You won't believe it till you see it, it's like Nazis reincarnated and I'm not joking, sooo disgusting!!!
Football is for EVERYONE, and we are all sons and daughters of Adam !!! so stupid.
I'm from Israel, and trust me, the PSG ultras are fucking nothing lmao, almost every club in Israel's top flight is wayyyy more violent than them, and Beitar are Just on a whole other level. Israeli sport is pretty violent in general, but while in basketball and other sports you can just kind of avoid it mostly (I'm a season ticket holder at an Israeli basketball team), in football it's unavoidable, which is why I haven't been to a local football match in over a decade

As a beitar fan, this is a blessed change! I hope my club will finally get rid of the racist image that it has. I hope that the nickname "the flag of the country" will be true for everybody living in it equally, jews and arabs. That the Yellow and Black combinatopn will represent the much awaited coexistence here. This is great progress. Hope that this will be a step forward towards peace. Tifo made an impossibly detailed video, and has included things that even I did not know about. Thank you very much!!!
Have a nice weekend everybody! Hope peace and coexistence will come upon us soon :)
I wish I share your optimism
כל מי שרוצה לבוא לביתר מוזמן כל עוד הוא מכבד את ישראל ומכיר בירושלים כבירתה. שחקן ערבי ישראלי שיבוא לביתר ולא ישיר את ההמנון יקבל כאן גיהנום. אם הוא לא שר את ההמנון והוא ישראלי זה מראה על חוסר כבוד למדינה. היינו קבוצה ימנית תמיד וכזאת נישאר. השם בית״ר הוא לא סתם. שוב, אין לי שום בעיה עם מוסלמים כל עוד הם מכבדים את ישראל, אם הם ישראלים הם גם צריכים לשיר את ההמנון
Unfortunately, we both know that this is too optimistic a look. Bad blood runs too deep for it to stop like that, as bleak as the truth seems it's still... truth
כל הכבוד לך, אבל לצערי לא נראה שאתה באמת רוב בקרב אוהדי ביתר... בהצלחה בכל מקרה

As An Israeli I can tell that Beiter definitely not the most popular club in Israel
just wanna ask, are the other teams in israel league as racist as this team? thanks
@@zulmizuliansyah8226 Actually no, every other team has pretty normal Fan Base. But everybody in the country who's normal people hates Beiter behavior against Muslims.
@@TalAfek11 ohhh good, thanks. i think that hatred to the muslim, or any othe racial is something that normal happen in there
@@zulmizuliansyah8226 No that's definitely not what happens in Israel. Most of the people are pretty cool with Muslims
Please please please do a video on Rangers and their finances, or their performances and climb under Gerrard.. A fascinating tale and one I'd love to understand more about. Plus with their recent resurgence I really hope there's a decent financial core to the club now...
Loved the episode. can't wait to see how it turns out.
Thanks Again Tifo Football
I love this pages illustration, very beautiful
Love that they used 500 naira notes @4:48

I had to pause and confirm it too 😅
if FIFA was serious the club should have been banned a long time ago
Beitar is the most racist team in the WHOLE history of football, as the fans SAY, "here we are, the most racist team in history"
Check out Milwall and Feyenoord fans
@@mahitanmandez1284 which league?
@@planerunner4020 EFL Championship - Millwall
Feyenoord - Dutch League
Amazing video
I've never seen a club that needs a movie made about it more.
Why is fifa letting them play? If another club's fans chanted against jews or didn't allow jews to play with them They would be banned from football forever.
Because they have the most fans in Israel, Imagine banning a club like Barcelona if they support Catalonia, the enitire city of Barcelona will boycott FIFA.
@@mayukhdatta4017 but they aren't a huge club like barca with billions, they are a sml club compared to other giants, and don't think FIFA will care if a couple 100, 000 people don't like them
no one really cares about anti Palestinian racism. its just sad tbh. apartheid South Africa was bannned by FIFA but Israeli clubs are still allowed to play
@@mayukhdatta4017 the difference is that Barca supporting catalonia isn't a racist and dangerous political stance.

Arab settler be quiet we (the Jews) were in Israel, Jordan, and Palestine before you Arabs colonized it. The only people who have claim to the Levantine are the Lebanese, Egyptians (Sinai), and the Jews.
Amazing video but do you have some statistics about the support of the clubs in Israel. Until this video I thought Maccabi Tel Aviv is also in football the biggest power house because of the famous basketball section.
Maccabi Tel aviv ls also very dominant in soccer however they aren’t so successful in Europe much like the rest of the league. Historically they are the best team in israel
@@noamlainer7149 Haifa historically is the best in European competitions
Dear Tifo, can you please take a look at Pitso Mosimane. The only coach to win six trophies with two different clubs.
Fifa: racism is not tolerated unless you're beitar jersulum
Tifo in conjunction with the guardian paper bring you a neutral view 😂😂
Some much needed comforting context: 1) The fan base is widely DESPISED by the majority of Israeli football fans 2) Some clubs in Israel have gone so far as to have a black list of some of the “La Familia” members from ever entering their stadiums. 3) Many have mentioned it here but Beitar is far from the most popular team in Israel. 4) More popular clubs such as Maccabi Tel Aviv have had Muslim players and have been celebrated by their fan base.
FIFA : politics and racism have no place in football
Beitar : hold my hummus
The UAE officials have no shame
True dat
Well that was bonkers
By what metric is Beitar the most popular? Definitely not by crowd sizes or games viewership. Israelis that don't watch football will tell you they like the club because it represents Jerusalem and uses the Menorah as its symbol but that does not make them actual fans of the club.
I think this would have included the political realities behind the UAE's decision to invest
this so called biggest ultras in israel, is not even dare to try the smallest ultras in turkey
Its taking trolling to a whole new level
When the ad cuts in at Beitar Trump... 😑
The Forever Pure documentary made about this club was eye opening. I couldn’t believe the way they treated their OWN players with racist and bigoted abuse.
This is not only about this club..the Israeli society is one of the most right wing racist societies in the world.
@@hki4464 Completely clueless, every other club in Israel is not like this and if it were so "right wing and racist" there would be zero Arabs like there are zero Jews in Arab countries due to actual racism.
@@dontcare9974 there’s no left wing politics in Is**el. It’s either right wing or left right wing. Racist apartheid country for a reason. Saw how u treat real left wing.
@@jecobreza2406 You just made a completely contradictory statement in your first two sentences. Also, not sure how it can be "apartheid" when the Arab Islamist Ra'am party currently hold the balance of power in forming a new government.
Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters are far leftists.
@@hki4464 no lol
This is a wild story.
Oh this is just the tip of the fucking iceberg, trust me (I'm from Israel)
IMO, any clubs who have institutionalized racism or sectarianism should be given an ultimatum by FIFA or their regional body, clean up your act, or you will be banned from all competitive football.
If FIFA really mean the Say NO to racism thing, then be aggressive with it.
3:04 - made me think of (the legend) Neil Warnock. Wonder why......
Love it when tifo goes full BuzzFeed unsolved (Aguiar)
Simple solution to La Familia problems. Harsh financial penalties and two-year ban of attending any football match for anyone who chants a racist slogan, throws an object to the pitch etc. That would work like a magic.
Worth mentioning that the current Israeli president was the team's Chairman back in the 80's.
israel and racism, for some reason its rhymes.
Not really, it doesn’t
The new owner is a joke too. A big marketing scheme to create a false illusion of an Arab investor.

Can you please do a video on what's going on with Manchester city and everton.
The premier league stated that if less than 14 players were available that they'd REARRANGE the game after consulting both clubs.
The premier league didn't consult everton, that's why they're asking for "full disclosure" on the matter, and yet the premier league is yet to respond.
Please shed some light on this Manchester city bias. If we can get everton the win it will take away Manchester city's game in hand.
Do city just get to rearrange matches whenever they want, I remember a serie a side had to take a loss because of covid and refusing to play while they had enough players. So just because Pep doesn't trust Stones, Mendy, and Foden. They get to just rearrange matches.
PLEASE COVER THIS
Just close the club.

The most based club in the world?
Far from the most popular team in the country, maccabi tel aviv and haifa are both more popular and among most of the population even mentioning someone supports beitar jerusalem is met with the equivalent to 'yikes'
I would like to show you a different side to this story. After the ownership agreement was announced, around 50 Beitar fans protested against it and racially abused Ali Mohammed. A week later, hundreds of Beitar fans came to the club's training ground, supported the new owner and Ali Mohammed. They hung a sign in the stadium that said "Ali Mohammed, 50 racist primitives can't hurt you". La Familia is just a radical minority that harms the club's image for decades. Most of the fans are supporting the move and working together in order to remove racism from the club.
That is very inaccurate. When the beitar supporters sing "death to the arabs" or "may your village burn" (many palestinians live in villages btw) you see that they sing those chants in thousands
@@tombak8742 those chants have not been said for two years already
@@hillellevy3892 do you actually think people can change so much so quickly? Its just cuz theyre afraid of being sued by hogeg
They threw flairs at the chechen muslim players and abused them in flocks, it is not a Club with a few Racist ultras, they literally have about half of their fans secretly racist.
❤️
Why are all these elite businessmen constantly in “legal troubles”?
For a very long time no legitimate businessman would touch the club. Gaidamak did it for shady political access (using a rabid fanbase) and Tabib is a criminal who tried to extort money with threats of disbanding the club.
as an Israeli I hope this new owner will help us fight the racism!!
Israel's gotten even worse since this was made. Little different to apartheid era South Africa now.
