"This is a group of people whose fans also point out to us as a factor for a large part of the audience not to come due to fear and apprehension. We intend to prosecute them, and sue the heads of La Familia soon on a personal level. This organization has names and is removed from all Betar Jerusalem games .

"We will deal with any claim made in court against the club and its owners. These are a number of people who have led and are leading a racist protest, which we could hear in recent games raises its head again. We will do everything to make Teddy Stadium a fun place for parents and children alike." .
