The Most Racist Football Club In The World
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2022
- Beitar Jerusalem are six-time Israeli Premier League champions and one of the best supported teams in Israel, but the club has always been tarnished by their far-right supporters' group, La Familia.
Over the years, La Familia have engaged in racist chants and violence, ensuring that Beitar Jerusalem remain the only football club in Israel never to have had any Arab players - but the club's makeup and context is more complex than you might think.
In this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a deep dive into the weird world of Beitar Jerusalem, their racist fans, and the political machinations behind the controversial club. - Спорт
"yes we are racist, but we'll take one of those colored talents from South America to help us out....just 1 though" the nerves of that fan base lmaoooo
What a disgusting team 🤢it’s like they’re stuck in the 1950s
nobody said “coloured talents from south america”
you weirdo fyi latins are still white
@@f0rtunat010 no one said those words literally, but they were saying that about hulk, who is a pardo from brazil (someone with mixed european, african and indigenous heritage). he definitely fits in the "coloured talents from south america" category
@@f0rtunat010 lol wrong
@@f0rtunat010 what, even Afro-Latinos?
Thank you for being one of the only football youtubers that doesnt say "Its sport not politics"
Football and politics have always been deeply connected
Especially when that sport involves almost every continent.
it's not politics it really is just a game of football 99% of footballers just want to play their game do their job an get paid, 99% of fans like to watch football to escape the lies, propaganda and manipulation from the tv so don't appreciate politics being force fed down their throats when they just want to relax, enjoy themselves an support their team in their spare time
@@anon131 well said. I won’t watch most football now. It’s became a political circus
@@anon131 absence of politics is a political stance itself
Saying 'I'm not political' can also be seen to say 'I'm happy with the state of the world' which is a by-default support of the status quo. Saying 'keep politics out of this' means 'I benefit from the way things are, dont change them'.
Being 'non-political' is an oxymoron, because by ignoring politics you are by-default supporting conservatism, which is taking a political stance.
Everything is influenced by politics and can have a political effect. Including sports.
@@mrgreatbritain Well yes, since football has become all about richer clubs winning everything, politics has influenced football to become more right-wing and business-focused - but there are certain clubs with leftist ideals and ethics too. So it's not like all clubs are supportive of one political ideology.
Just wanted to add that Netanyahu doesn't actually care about football and associated himself with Beitar for political reasons
היי אחי
Well he’s a racist too so I’m not surprised
was about to say that as well this guy would do everything to keep himself as the president cause of him israel didnt have a government that lasted more than a few months for like 3 years
King
Kinda sad that it helps someone’s political status to be a fan of a racist club such as Beitar.
Honestly... As a Real Madrid fan, if I watched a match between Barcelona and Beitar Jerusalem. I would be supporting Barcelona like I was a die hard Catalan.
Beitar Jerusalem is the shittiest club in existence.
Word. I'm a Barça fan but I would cheer Real Madrid on at the top of my lungs if they played these scumbags.
same, but that's because I'm an Hapoel Tel Aviv fan lol and were no strangers for the animosity on Beitar
Lol Real Madrid fans are also right-wing.... You're another plastic
W madrista W culers
Same here if it was Spurs playing them despite being an Arsenal fan
The sheer quantity and quality of your output is just outstanding.
he needs to do what the irish guy did and leave hitc, its not fair the owners get most of the cash from all alfies hard work, if he broke off and went it alone everyone will follow him like they did with irish guy
@@Exalted_Wolfe While I don't know much about HITC and the ramifications of Alfie staying/leaving, I do know that I will ALWAYS watch Alfie's content regardless of topic or channel. Even topics that initially may not pique my interest end up being riveting and compelling viewing.
Lol yh his cherry picking of teams in this topic was extremely thorough
@@Exalted_Wolfe I'm sure he'll go his own way once he thinks the pros outweigh the cons in such a decision. But as someone said above, I too don't have much of an idea on what kind of connection he has to HITC since I don't watch any of their other content.
@@soundscape26 i just know ive heard alfie moan a few times about the ppor scale he gets for the work he does, same as what the iirsh guy was like, he took the chance and went alone and his new channel hs just exploded everyone who watched him on htcsport followed him straight over where it crippled hitc sport so badly they changed its name to hitc football, serious though alfie is one of he best football youtubers out there and does not need to be under someone elses banner making them money when he can go alone and all us here who love him would follow without a second thought
I'm a Jew from Jerusalem, and I'm so glad you made this video. Beitar are a disgusting club and they deserve to be known for that.
Fortunately, Beitar are quite good at embarrassing themselves both on and off the pitch
Same
Awful club, awful fans, they are the whole package
@@timglennon6814 wtf does that have to do with football, it's like blaming Russian pedestrians on what's going on Russia, do you think all Jews want this to happen? Of course not
@@timglennon6814 wtf are you on about?? That’s like someone bringing up the war in Ukraine and you going “yeah but the Iraq war though!l
@@timglennon6814 Calling an individual “you Jews” and holding him responsible for actions outside of his control could definitely fall under anti-Jewish bigotry.
Let me guess Corbyn is still your “true leader” then?
Our son, of Filipino descent, and two of his teammates whose family is originally from Zimbabwe and the other from China experienced racist comments from other players. They were playing in the U15 division. I know they are still teenagers but racism has no place in every sport.
Where are you living ?
Canada.
Thank you for your videos Alfie, just amazing how much research you put in to every single one of those. And mad respect for not shying away from politics as well, as many other football channels do.
nice Hegel pic
"shying away from politics" ...well he did just repeat every woke/leftwing/establishment viewpoint , so er , not really.
Yes, there aren't enough boiler plate lefties in regular media, we need them online inserting their "hot takes" too
@@benitolazio8193 he showed the left wing side because there is no more right you can add to those idiots in la familia, as an israeli saying that
As an Israeli football fan I can't agree any more with you, beitar Jerusalem are one of the most broken teams in Israel and not in a good way
Free Palestine 😊
@@memomoe3927 bro he's an israeli citizen, what's replying with free Palestine going to achieve? 😂 I don't even disagree with the cause but its just weird to comment that under a random Israeli guy

Wonderful content. Exclusive content on the history of everything Football and great analysis with the right amount of charisma. Great job we will continue to support your channel.
Love how many Israelis in the comments are so opposed to this racist team. I've known about this few years ago by chance. As a muslim and football fan myself, I wouldn't want a racist chant to be heard in my stadium, even if we have an Israeli player.
I may sound ignorant but on the field, it should always be about the players performance.
agreed
It’s interesting uefa doesn’t impose the same fines and bans on the club as it does as it does against others

Your long form non 7 blank videos are incredible Alfie. Please keep creating these video essays as they really informative and fascinating. I always learn so much about football and other topics when listening and, I know I'm not alone. Thanks for the good work.
It's not football in Israel, it's just Beitar fans. I'm Maccabi Haifa fan. We have a lot of Arab fans and always had Arab players in our team. We care only about player's performance, not nationality
So you wouldn't mind having Palestinian footballers in your team then?

@@dvdv8197 whataboutism at it's finest
As it should be
@@dvdv8197 they have many Palestinians-Israelis on the team lmfao
Almost every video is a damn history lesson and I love it. Awesome videos
Yeah - Alfie has taught me more than I ever learn at school . Saying that , I’m not so distracted nowadays...👍
@@newforestpixie5297 maybe
listen to ur teacher
ur comment is bullshit.
Being an Israeli leftist, I suggest you look at HaPoel Katamon Jerusalem, the other team in Jerusalem, which represents the political left. Katamon have been promoted to the Israeli premier league this season, and have several Jerusalmi-Palestinians in their squad. It’s a positive story to stand against Beitar and redeem the city’s reputation.
That's wonderful news! I'll check it out 😀
I know this will be a intrusive question but as an Muslim who’s obviously concerned about what’s happening in Palestine I’ve rarely encountered an leftist Israeli online so I’d be very interested in your position on what’s going on in Palestine/Israel especially with the settlement policies and the clashes at the temple mount in the last few years.
@@a.e.a. I second this
@A. E. A. It just so happens that I’m a history student who learned specifically about the Middle East for the last year and a half. Some context: Israeli politics divides right-left on two topics: safety(what should happen to the Palestinians) and economy. In the safety debate, the far right(mostly conservatives and ultra-religious settlers in the West Bank) wants ALL the land to itself, mostly for religious reasons(there is apparently a religious law preventing anyone from “giving land of Israel to other people”). The left doesn’t care much about land, and thinks there should be a country of Palestine, but for now is afraid of the idea of a Palestinian state 20 km from Tel Aviv. There is also a problem with stability in the Palestinian cities in the West Bank. They are really poor and gang crime is everywhere(Palestinians killing Palestinians), and if they form a country with this situation, it probably won’t survive that long before becoming too reliant on some bigger (potentially anti-Israeli)Islamist state helping them economically, and lose a lot of their independence AND potentially become a threat to Israel’s existence. But in the long run, the left in Israel DOES want to see a successful and friendly Palestinian state.
@A. E. A. About the Temple Mount and Jerusalem, I personally think that it should allow religious freedom for everyone, and that the old city, needs to be a separate entity controlled internationally, with the rest of Jerusalem being split by population between Israel (the Western neighborhoods)and Palestine (the eastern neighborhoods).
Yesss we hate beitar!!!
I am a hapoel Jerusalem fan!!
Direct rivals from the capital!
We represent everything they do not.
No racism, fan owned club , Arab fans players and announcements, young talents, loyal fans and good football.
We were promoted to the premier League only 2 seasons ago, and are no 3 in the league right now and beitar are in a relegation battle!
Most importantly, we won the Derby 1-0
Btw we are a" break off " fan created club of the original hapoel Jerusalem, that broke away due to corruption in management.
We were called "hapoel katamon Jerusalem" and now that the og hapoel Jerusalem is disbanded the fans merged to create the new, fan owned" hapoel Jerusalem "
We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top flight!!!
The capital is red and black ❤️🖤
Yalla hapoel!!
(Btw the club is a great video topic)
I think many channels wouldn't go near this topic with a 10 mile pole. Bravo to you for doing it, and for not flinching.
Every time I tune in, awesome content....The best football UA-cam channel, period.
Thanks for the quality vid Alfie, I was already aware of this club but the depth you go into is really informative
The consistency of Alfredo’s deep dives into football topics such as this is among the greatest in the planet
Congrats to Alfie for making a video covering such an important subject that plagues not only sports but society as a whole.
You know societies that don't have racism issues? Japan and South Korea. Wonder why?
@@mancunioner So you are suggesting that creating ethnostates solves racism? That’s like saying we should destroy the sun to eradicate skin cancer. Nice try
@@NomaHirudo is it? Think we need the sun to survive whereas those 2 nations just happen to thrive more than any European nation. Weird coincidence
@@mancunioner So because two asian countries are doing well (certainly not better than western europe) racism is ok?
@@mancunioner Japan’s economy is in big problem. They also face declining birthrates and an aging population. That doesn’t sound like thriving. I don’t know much about S. Korea but your argument is still dumb and invalid
Great Upload as always and very Informative ……. ⚽️
How your subscriber count isn't higher than what it is is daylight robbery the amount of depth and quality you invest into ur videos are truly insane I have been watching this channel for a while now and just want to say keep up the great work you are killing it!
Cause a lot of these topics are niche as fuck
Almost 500k is pretty good for a channel with such long mini-documentary style videos. In an era of low attention spans and clickbait content, Alfie is doing pretty good.
Most normal football fans don't want to see football viewed through a Marxist lense. Why would he have more subscribers?
Congrats on overtaking HITC Football, great documentary here, can't imagine how hard this was to prepare
As an Israeli, I am ASHAMED that Beitar's fans are a part of our football league. They put us, the sane Israeli fans at a state of pure shame.
Lol you do that well enough as a state don’t worry about a damn football team
wow just wow, as if this club is the only thing you should be ashamed of. Killing innocent people while praying in a mosque is just normal but this club being racist is something you should be ashamed of. wow just wow.
@@undeadkoala7510 lol dude
Thank you for saying so, friend. One of these damn days we'll learn to get along with each other. ✌️

Great video, you’ve really done a lot of research on that one, I appreciate that as an Israeli. No one would’ve done that better. Now, please do a video on Maccabi Haifa which is an “opposite” club when it comes to racism, and represents the coexistence of Jews and Arabs. That has the potential to be a great video.
I agree, altho I would argue that hapoel tel Aviv is more beitar's opposite than M. Haifa...
@@Stringbean670 Yes I agree 100%, Hapoel Tel Aviv is the opposite team to Beitar Jerusalem at least politically. They are unique and deserve a video as well. But the thing about Maccabi Haifa is more about the coexistence in the team and the city of Haifa as well.
Listen man, I'm a Haifa fan myself, but to say we're the opposite of them is a bit misleading. I don't know if you were qt the stadium in the last home match vs Bnei Sakhnin, but the ultras shouted the 'burn your village' chant.
Jn
Israel is Not real free palestine
Couldn't have happened to a nicer club. Great video Alfie!
If Beitar were in any other country, there would be a significant number of people waving swastikas in the stands.
Your videos are class as always 👏
Traditionally keep losing if that's how one wants to keep tradition intact. I find it insane that there are people out that still judge a person off the color of their skin.
Hey Alfie, love your content!
Can you talk about what's going on in Australia's A-League, or FK Luch Vladivostok being so far away from the rest of the Russian PL.
Cus the a league is so shit?
Well, Luch last played in Premier League in 2008 and in 2020 they even were disbanded. Nowadays Vladivostok is represented by Dynamo Vladivostok which is at the bottom of Russian Football. Their Far Eastern derby rival SKA Khabarovsk also played in RPL in 2018, so most of their post-soviet history both teams played in FNL (Russian Championship). Unfortunately, football in Asian part of Russia is not developed as in European part due to its climate above all (and also economic development). Sometimes some club from Siberia can reach the RPL (Sibir, Tom, Yenisey) - the highest achievement of these clubs is Sibir’s silver in Russian Cup 2010 and they even played in Europa League. Well, Siberia is more about hockey than football.
So, it’a interesting to see if Russia join AFC, may be if can develop football beyond the Urals, but I believe it’d be nice if Russia stayed in UEFA (and unbanned😢) but eastern part get it’s own association just for clubs to participate in Asian Cups
Thank you for the video. Your research is really well done, and I think you did a very good job of understanding some of the intricacies of the situation in Israel, and in regards to this f'uped team.
Had no Idea Beitar was so well known for its racism internationally. Too bad its for that, and not the quality of its football.
Slayer prof pic ....blubbing over naughty words!? Hilarious!
Alfie, I’m not racist BUT….
Your videos are brilliant. Some of the best content on UA-cam.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 absolutely brilliant 👏
hella racist
Whenever you hear, "I'm not racist but..." You know what's coming next.
Yeah, a redpilled statement
And mostly it’s NEVER good
What's coming is something pretty racist
Duhhh, that's the point ya mong
I'm racist but..... I don't hate traitors like you, I just pity them.
This channel is getting better and better with every video!!!
Vintage stuff as always. Thank you Alfie!
This is why I love this channel and why its one of the few sports channels im subscribed too. You do excellent videos but also talk about these kinds of issues.
As a citizen of Israel I can say that you are completely right, Although many Arabs and Jewish people hate each other, in football everyone plays together except for beitar ofc.
Love your videos been watching u for about 3 years now, keep it up!
I just want to point out that most people in Israel aren't racist, that is only in Jerusalem.
Beitar fans are like children
Whilst every other club has moved on from the 19th century they continue to cry when someone slightly different plays for their club
That’s why it was hilarious when Beitar lost to bnei Sechnin in sechnin last year
@@JSG003 true
So people from Jerusalem r racist
@@mss111 racism in Israel almost always comes from religion and Jerusalem is very important for Arabs and Jewish people so most of the racism come from there but that doesnt mean that everyone in Jerusalem is racist
Eye opening! Thanks for the uploading.
This video is like your own way to talk about the situation if Israel and Gaza
It may hurt your channel but you still made it
Thanks man
bring an iraqi or syrian ( nvm a palestinian ) into their team, let them have a dna test, and see how it'd end these fans' lives lmao, they're literally being racist against people of their own.
As fellow Semites they're literally cousins lol. Crazy that some intense hatred are often between closely related kin. Kinda like derbies.
@@firmanimad except that derbies are more like rivalries, things like these are just straight up hatred.
You’re actually right, you know? I actually read once that Palestinians are more genetically similar to Israelis Jews than to other Arab nations 🤦🏻♂️ don’t quote me on that one, but I’m inclined to believe it, having been living in Israel for the past 12 years 😅. The conflict is really complex and goes way beyond just sports, but for God’s sake, can’t we just leave Football out of it? That’s ridiculous
you could say the same about Russia and Ukraine..but it doesnt matter
But they are "racists" about the religion with Arabs and "Racists" about color with Africans.
Great video and all but how have you not mentioned what happens in the games between beitar and bnei sakhnin? Its something very important to this subject
i remember seeing a video on them a while ago and was left wanting more. nice video.
of course its an Israel club. Honestly doesnt surprise me at all
😂😂😂
Huh?
Lmao, Israel is probably one of the most ethnically divergent countries dude. It's only connected by common ancestry/religion, that's why they're Jewish. I personally expected a club from South Africa or maybe Bosnia, but definetly not Israel.
@@thekickanoragm8559 Yet the idf is committing a genocide right now with Palestinians who don't even have an army. Not the Palestinians fault that the Hamas is there.
@@thekickanoragm8559wtf why Bosnia? We never even had any slaves ever
I really love how some one jump immidatly see your post

most racist football club in the most racist apartheid country?
Shut up, how are we more racist than saudi arabia/uae/qatar, those guys won’t let women even show their faces, in iran they killed a women for showing her mouth, so do your reaserch, we look only because our stupid government, all of them together have like 30 iq
Racist against whom? Palestinian isn't a race and they're both Semitic people 😅
@@thedukeofswellington1827ah, so using your logic, the nazis weren't racist.
Holy shit.
Apartheid? there live all kind of religions and cultures in Israel, and they all have the same rights. How many Arabs live in Israel and how many Jews in Palestine?
I think you mean the most racist football club in the most ethnonationalist apartheid state. You have to be specific so people don't pull the "well technically you're wrong" defense out, even when they know what you mean.
0:04 holy crap i have never seen that tweet before… i didn’t realise people could be so awful
Amazing how totally braindead some people can be.
Don’t worry people like that will d*e out eventually

No offence but you must be living under a rock if you didn’t realise that
I mean, the dudes obviously not serious, he's trolling
the best soccer/football related channel on youtube, and it's not even close.
I know racism is an issue in football and it's rife in Russia but I wasn't aware of the Zenit's fan union position on player recruitment. That's absolutely nuts!
Great content as always, really enjoy the non football info I'm absorbing too, keep it up.
Racism is not rife in sports. A single case involving a couple of teams does not indicate anything endemic or institutional. To assert such a premise is a form of accusatorial bias.
@@DR3ADER1 You're in denial my good friend
@@ojooluwasegun5865 Incorrect. The idea of institutionalised racism is a fantasy. Made up by marketing for idiots such as yourself.
@@ojooluwasegun5865 he's technically right. It's usually not the sport, it's the communities, but he does beg a question. How many instances of racism do I need to prove systemic or institutional racism.
What aboutism, nice deflection
This is the most accurate representation of Beitar I ever got to see.
People who want to know about this club should watch this vid.
And btw one of the hapoel tel aviv pics you put when describing the team, is a pic of the Hapoel Beer Sheva team
I wonder why Zenit is rightfully considered racist yet the Basque gatekeeping Athletic Bilbao has usually goes under the radar when discussing exclusion in football
(and yes I know they have had black players born there play for them so not technically racist but they are doing gatekeeping anyway)
Tradition I guess?
What is wrong with Bilbao? They are just sticking to their traditions, like you said they've had black players in their team who came from the region so they clearly are not racists
There was a video about this year's ago by Copa, good to see you doing one years later, they're logo has changed too.
Great video! Cant get over how even at the turn of the 19th century we see the same style of collapsible/folding chair that we have today😂
This is the first time in my entire life I’ve heard a westerner even acknowledge the Balfour declaration as existing. Most would claim even acknowledging the existence of Israeli war crimes as “anti semitic” (despite the fact that Arabs are semites as well). Thank you Alfie and God Bless you really.
Seriously?
Bro, antisemitism has nothing to do about people being semitic or not it is about hating jews not anything else.
@@Persian_Judaism wrong
Words don't have to mean exactly what they're etymologically made up of. Just like butterfly doesn't mean a fly covered in butter, antisemitism doesn't mean racism against all semites. Its just about Jews.
@@aliahmad-bd8dm Nope, you are wrong. Sad to see this from arabs but I am sadly not surprised because you have always had this retoric even when we were dhimmis
Man would low key have a great history youtube channel.
That aside, I thought “I’m not racist, but…” was bad, but owning up to it and being proud of it is horrific.
The reason why they boast is due to the complex situation in Israel. And the incidents involving the fact that the Arab world has historically refused to recognise the republic because of "muh sea". Then again expecting a left-wing idiot from a shithole such as Kingston upon Hull to consider that is a fantasy of course. Remember, Alfie is a massive SJW, so he wholeheartedly believes in the false premise of racism, when in reality, it's the fact that most young footballers are egotistical power merchants who are obsessed with doing whatever they like, from domestic abuse to animal abuse.
The race card is a pathetic tactic of the victim narrative used by young, spoilt people online to blame outside factors. It is no different from old men in politics and other aspects of life who blame their failings on outside factors because their own egos can't handle the criticism.
Thank you for your very well presented video!
Maybe there are Beitar Jerusalem fans who aren't racist in their hearts, but it's been said that if you're at a political rally or a protest and there are racists there and no one is making them leave, you're at a racist rally. I think the same should go for football. If there are people being openly racist in the stadium and nothing is being done about, that's a racist football club.
Most racists don't think they're racist in their hearts.
Beitar have changed their ways I have been to a few games.
Most fans are okay with Islam but the small hateful group is the most heard one
Ok being the devil's advocate here, so basicaly ppl should put their opinions aside and conform to the perception you have of the world or else you would take it upon urself to ostracise them, does this make you an intolerant bigot with autoritarian tendencies?
@@alexandrewilson5388 those are strong words for a devil's advocate! Sounds to me like what you actually wanted to say was "I think racism is ok actually".
I will answer your question though: obviously not, no. Racists and islamophobes are not a discriminated against group, nor should they be, because the thing they have in common - racism - doesn't have a place in an enlightened society. When we say we want a tolerant society, that necessitates being intolerant of bigotry and hate speech.
@@Yair-sw4mg if the number of Beitar fans that are friendly towards other races is increasing that's good, but like I said in my original comment, if someone could go to a game and feel comfortable shouting horrific racist things at their own players, and no one among the fans or stewards made them stop, that is a football club that is ok with racism, ergo, a racist football club
As an average Israeli football fan, I can confidently say that we dont tolerate these guys at Beitar Jerusalem, they dont represent any normal human being who lives here, I'm deeply ashamed
I could have sworn that you had uploaded this exact video a couple of years ago 😳🤨
You’ve either experienced a Timeslip or need to quit the Headbanging 😁
I think they were included on the "7 most politicized football clubs" or something video, but never on a standalone one.

Next please do a video on the rise of my local team Altrincham. A non league club with a lot of history who on the day i am posting this request have announced they are going full time for the first time in the clubs 131 year history. The rise back to the National League and competing with giants after tumbling from the National League to the 7th tier in 2 seasons is a story worth telling
But what part did they play in the Middle-East crisis?
@@emjackson2289 none. But Alfie needs to do a video on Altrincham. Today the club has announced they are going professional for the first time in the clubs 131 year history. We need to give it traction. If enough people know about it Alfie WILL DELIVER
I don't think he will do a video about a National League club. If the club goes to League 2 tho maybe he can do it
@@fra3296 even still this season Altrincham are on course for their highest league finish in 30 years. And with finally going full time next season its worth a look
Up the altyyyyy
this channel has been super good for two years now 😫😫 hope alfie making his money
"targeted the British who they viewed as illegal occupiers" The irony is so stunning, I'm blind.
For real fuckem
Wow,this Club has such a massive baggage,they can't seem to clean up their act no matter how many times they attempt to.
Football has always had Politics infiltrating from the very beginning,so no one can rightfully say there was ever a time in football where it was free from Politics,for we can see so many incidents even in the so called ''good old days''. Right now Rogue regimes are investing so much in football that there will be no end to political drama in football.
Thanks Alfie for the video,keep them coming.
This aged well
As a person who lived all their life in Jerusalem i really dont like Beitar. i am supporting the other big club of Jerusalem "Hapoel Jerusalem" who put themselves as a complete oposite to Beitar, and we are striving to fight racism violence and homophobia in the pitch and outside of it.
Just remember that beitar doesent represent the israeli football or the football in Jerusalem and the people overall.
It does represent a lot of Israelis though. The current government consists of several far right racist extremists, though I gather that they are not a very popular government
@@yoloswaggins7121bro as an Israeli I can tell you that Most of the people in Israel hate the current government and have been trying to overthrow it for over a year and a half, and we will. Beitar fans are not representing us.
Good video, Alfie. Very well done.
you should do a deep dive on the nwsl (not in a sexist way please) but they have so many issues. their challenge cup (preseason tournament) championship last week had an uncalled red that would have resulted in a pk if called and a medical emergency that highlighted the lack of player safety. the league also has a history of abuse to where major problems like broadcasting quality, scheduling, and field quality get put on the back burner. loved this video as well!
I was at the 2015 game between them and Charleroi and I've never seen fans like that... They were just so angry for no reason trying to break in and fight tbh it was really scary
Nowwwww I understand why this video is suddenly being recommended to me again after watching it ages ago. Algorithms are wild bro
KEEP UP THE QUALITY GOOD SIR
Still remember when Chelsea fans attacked and racial abused Amartey of Leicester when they lost in the F.A Cup Final, when he "disrespected" a rivals flag, because that is very good reason to give someone trauma
Its crazy how people will TRY and explain how they are not racist 👀🤔
was waiting for the beitar video, it just had to happen
You’d think the Jewish of all people would understand that hating someone due to race or religion is wrong. I seem to recall a group who hated the Jewish so much they tried to have them completely ethnically cleansed. I guess it’s easy to forget what happened in Europe, when living in the Middle East home of the Muslim Arab. 😑
The problem is mostly Ashkenazi Jews
When he said " as long as he's not a Leeds fan " I felt that
Good video, good work
thank you for discussing this subject truthfully,..
As an Israeli, beitar is also the most hated club in israel.
Coming from UK, this is rich. Israeli racist is encouraged by USA and UK.
Dont blame the person, blame the governments and groups allowing this. I do see your point thou
Lmao , nice surprise to see you adding Mihaylov in the beginning
Fantastic work 👏🏽 👍🏾
Beitar just says the quiet part out loud when it comes to israeli society
Day 23 of asking awesome person Alfie to make a video on Detroit City FC and to look at a club with partial fan ownership, a historic stadium built during the great depression as part of President Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration, and a rowdy group of supporters known as the Northern Guard who are championing the fight for equality for all minority groups. Oh and also, we just beat MLS side Columbus Crew in the US Open Cup.
Hi bro, best way to contact him is Instagram and twitter too man if you want 😊
Detroit FC games are so fun!! Great atmosphere Rouge and Gold!
@@dillonrostorfer202 nothing beats a sunset at Keyworth
As someone from Michigan, this would be my dream
@@jakea5915 a fellow Michigander!
Man, I've become addicted to your channel. Anything about Corinthians?
Thanks HITC brilliant
Least fascistic Israelis
I’d like to see a video on why Kazakhstan plays in Europe. They’ve effectively traded being one of the better countries in Asia and a being a regular at the Asian cup by now, with even an outside chance of making the World Cup to cannon fodder in Europe. It’s always baffled me
Guess it's their own choice. Don't think anyone is forcing them.
@@johnnyhotbody219 That would be the logical assumption, if it wasn't for other ex-Soviet republics (like Kyrgystan) joining the AFC. So there clearly is/was some choice involved
I suppose they think you improve by playing teams that are better than you. And they are improving.
great video.
love how facebook allows them to have LA FAMILIA to have a page
Both Zenith and Beithar should close doors for this kind of inhumanity , but not before providing a list with the names of their dangerous, racist meatheads fans...
you're joking right?
@@Carlston9723
Why would I joke with this?
Those arseholes deserve some retribution for all the chaos and violence they caused...
I do recommend Forever Pure. The documentary on Beitar from 2016.
Even as a Leeds fan I laughed at that joke 😂
Being a Leeds fan is the joke
So an English racist laughing at his Israeli compatriots
Joke?
LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS!! 👍👍
You are the best brother. Thank you.
I misread this title as "The Least Racist" club when I was half asleep and while listening to it was very confused until I just re-read the title. Great content, bad viewer.
In many ways it's shocking that racism is often whitewashed as being "traditional". But in many ways we shouldn't be surprised.
I remember one time I referred to my grandma as being racist, and a friend of mine gasped in shock and said "but she's just from a different generation!" Yeah, a more racist generation. It is what it is. I love my grandma as much as anyone else loves theirs but she is (sadly) racist. Yes she is of a different generation and attitudes were different back then, but racism is racism.
Exactly the same with my grandparents and other elderly relatives.
Makes me wonder what I will be described as in 30 - 40 years.
@@archstanton6102 Haha! Yeah, my biggest fear is being in a nursing home in 50-60 years time and overhearing the care workers or nurses whisper quietly to each other "don't mind him, he's just old fashioned!"
The whole culture was racist. Don’t blame individuals brought up in it.
@@gordonwilson1631 But surely you can blame individuals who adopt these values and behaviours? I mean, you could say that Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (a.k.a.: Tommy Robinson) was brought up in an environment with racist values, but it shouldn't matter whether it was the 1930s or the 1990s. Racism was the norm then, but it doesn't make it any more right or acceptable.
@@gordonwilson1631 The whole culture was not racist. There were riots in the UK fighting against English Blackshirts in the 1930's.
There was a common use of some racist language, even in Thomas the Tank Engine but this was challenged by others.
A few corrections. No Israeli football club in the top two leagues (any major club) is Left leaning. Sports in general in Israel tend to pull fandom from the middle-right. Hapoel Tel-Aviv may have been a left leaning club decades ago, but like all Israeli Premier League clubs and their majority fans, they are all right leaning.
Beitar Jerusalem (or just Beitar as they're more commonly known) fans, and La-Familia in particular, are mostly fascists, racists, right wingers who are a stain on Israel and its sports (something they are VERY proud of). La-Familia is a crime organization as much as it is a fan club and should be treated as such. You can look at videos from the current war situation where Hamas Terrorists were rumored to be treated at an Israeli hospital and La-Familia members stormed that hospital threatening to lynch the terrorist(s) who weren't even there.
Politicians in Israel care very little about sports or clubs. They use clubs and fans for political gain and nothing more. Sports have been used as a propaganda arm for many regimes before...it's no different with Israel's Right nowadays.
The use of Lawrence Foxx during the “I’m not racist, but…” was well chosen.
Bravo.
2023, almost 2024, and this shit still going on…crazy
you should make a video about the Israeli premier league it would interesting
agreed
Sounds about as interesting as the israeli premier league
It's Palestine 😂
