wingfieldram Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Did anyone see the BBC 4 Documentary about Beitar Jerusalem? . Well worth watching although grim at times.

Wolfie20 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Just watched it - frightening! That club should be closed down for good. Puts our East Stand support into perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they were given an awful lot of choice in the matter (not explicitly stated, but i don't imagine a refusal costing their club owner a substantial amount and whatever other deals were being done at the same time would have gone down well..."economic ties...economic ties...) Some genuinely terrifying echoes of history as well....forever pure doesn't seem like a good slogan, you know...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very group of people you'd want to stand up and fight racism with all their might seem to have embraced the hatred for others that led to genocide...........the millions who perished in the 1930's and 40's may well have died in vain.

PrivateDerby Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Haven't watched it yet but read the description. Not signing Arab players seems no different or worse than some Arab countries refusing to compete against Israelis in sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although stacking up wrongs vs wrongs never gets the world anywhere, and at least this was sports and not war (which is very real between Israel and her neighbours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wonder whether the BBC would bother producing a documentary on the fallout if Al-Hilal signed a couple of Jewish lads. Who am I kidding, the Saudis don't even let Jews into the country.
