Beitar Jerusalem FC Maintains No-Arabs Policy

NETANYA, ISRAEL - OCTOBER 14: (ISRAEL OUT) Israeli police search Beitar Jerusalem soccer fans as they arrive for an away game against Maccabi Netanya on Saturday evening October 14, 2006 in Netanya in central Israel. Beitar Jerusalem FC was founded in the 1930's by the right-wing Revisionist Zionist movement, which later formed the Israeli Likud political party, during the British Mandate rule over Palestine. True to its right-wing roots, the team is the only one in the Israeli league to have never had an Arab player. A recent attempt by the club's owner, Russian-Israeli billionaire Arkadi Gaidamak, to sign an Arab player was opposed by Beitar supporters, who have been accused of being racist.
