Watch the incident: Bnei Sakhnin fans disrespect the anthem, and continue to cheer demonstratively even during the singing of "Hatikva"/Walla!
The Bnei Sakhnin realized yesterday (Saturday) that the whole story of denigrating the national anthem and booing Menashe Zalka led to a great threat to the group.
The club pressed and explained that "it wasn't our entire crowd, maybe 20 people. It doesn't justify, but it's also easy to lynch us in this period, we are a club of coexistence with Jews in the professional team and on the grass and that's how it will remain."
After the spirits calmed down a bit, in Sakhnin they drafted a long official statement in which they tried to soften the denigration of the anthem and the hostile attitude towards Menashe Zalka.
"The Bnei Sakhnin club is part of all the parts that make up Israeli sports in particular and Israeli society in general," it says, "the club lives and experiences everything that has passed and passes through the state and society and its spirit as the spirit of the entire Israeli society."

Regarding the desecration of the anthem: "After investigation, some of the fans sang cheers and drummed loudly when the players came onto the grass. They continued to sing and drum at the same rate even during the playing of the anthem, the vast majority of them claim that the situation was not clear because it is not customary to play the anthem in games in front of Hadera An important point should be noted - the speaker's voice was low and the content was not clear."

Regarding the booing and cursing of Zalka, you will be satisfied: "In March 2021, the actor posted a story in which he expressed a position on issues related to the Temple Mount and in which he introduced himself to religious and political issues. There was correspondence between him and fans with content related to his story. The story he posted created an atmosphere Not pleasant between the player and Muslim fans and fans from Arab society."
"In the game against Hadera in Netanya last year, in the 60th minute as soon as the player was replaced, there were boos from the Sakhnin crowd towards the player both on the background of the "story" he made and also as a response to his taunting them during the course of the game, including an obscene gesture and spitting from his side towards the Sakhnin crowd (according to them ) and this is as mentioned in the same game last season. Yesterday's events regarding Captain Zalka have no reference or statement whatsoever to his military service and are solely based on things related to the player's past with Sakhnin fans (the things were explained in the previous lines). It is important to note that this does not Legitimacy for the audience to curse a player on the background of things that are beyond sports."
