La Familia: "Every fan is called to come, even if he is on the expelled list" | Israel today

The Betar Jerusalem fans' organization, "La Familia", has always caused a stir around its conduct, but recently - after the game against Hapoel Tel Aviv and the derogatory calls to Kamasso Mara in the last game against Maccabi Petah Tikva - there has been an extreme escalation. Today (Sunday) The organization published a post-clarification.

"On Thursday, the organization held an extended meeting, the purpose of the meeting, of course, is the state of Betar Jerusalem, and the state of the stands and the audience.

"A large variety of people came to the meeting and extremists came here," it was written at the beginning of the post.

"There was a respectable dialogue, all those present heard the allegations from all sides, it was an excellent meeting. Together we reached all the decisions that in our view should benefit the entire audience for Betar Jerusalem.

The La Familia organization opposes any action that could harm Betar Jerusalem, it is ours first and foremost. Represents us and will not represent in the future.

The organization disclaims and clarifies that anyone who acts against the organization's decision is not part of the organization, and certainly does not represent the organization.

"From that meeting, such and such rumors run about the continuation and direction of the organization:

Starting with the upcoming home game the organization will return to its natural place in the eastern stand, with all the festival that most of you know and love.

For decision one and only consideration, the good of the club above all person, protest, etc.

Unfortunately Betar Jerusalem is not a big team "thanks" to a failed owner, and realizing that over the years without a supportive Betar it was harder to fight, we decided to preempt a cure for Mecca to be the 12th player, the one who will set the club on a new and strong path, without us they can not.

Regarding the list and the sanctions - we will help any Beitar fan, whether he is part of the organization or not, if he enters one list or another.

Our position was to boycott the games, but after talks with some of the people on the list, we later chose full support through the stands in Betar Jerusalem, those on the list demanded and begged us to return to the home games.

Still, we will use all the means at our disposal to change the evil of the decree, and from here we call on every fan to reach every game whether he appears on the list or not.

3. The right to protest is legitimate everywhere in the Land of Israel - but not at the expense of Betar, protests will not be made on the field neither now nor in the future if and when there are, nor contemptuous whistles against players. You will not represent the organization, and the organization is not part of it.

4. With a full understanding that the fans' stand has so many opinions, the organization will hold a meeting from time to time that invites regular fans of all shades we know over the years in order to make the best decisions for the entire audience and Betar Jerusalem together.

"Map calls on the whole audience not to be dragged into any show of incitement from now on against the organization, there are factors that prevent more hatred of the organization than the love of Betar, we can only give them advice to get off the tree, we are here before and forever."

From the fans, "the majority is no longer silent," said in response to La Familia:

"members of the La Familia claimed in the past and continue to pump even today the narrative can not do without.

Fortunately in recent times has been proven time and again that you can also do without. We lost to them in the landscape of the Galilee, we lost them In Bloomfield, we lost with them in Ashdod and what all these losses have in common is a racism show in the stands.

In contrast to games where they were not, we witnessed thousands of fans, families, young and old crowding the stands and driven by love alone!

We anticipated that they would announce a return when they would see the Eastern stand cheering even without them and it was a matter of time.

But have you seen a single paragraph that refers to the acceptance of any player wherever he is?

Every fan should ask himself whether he is on the side of Sergeant Eli Ohana or on the side of Sergeant Eviatar Yosef.

Before concluding, we will quote a Betar legend:

"We will be very happy if you do not go to the stands anymore, do not need the encouragement, the color and everything you think is your exclusive property, believe me Dwarf to zero in relation to such phenomena on the court. "

A. Ohana

In conclusion, we call on all Betar fans not to be afraid to come to Teddy, to sit where they want and not be afraid to voice your opinion, we were before them and we will be after them as well. "
