      Yaalon ‘Appalled’ by Beitar Racism


      Deputy Prime Minister Moshe “Bogie” Yaalon spoke out Sunday against anti-Muslim calls from Beitar Jerusalem fans Saturday night. “I was appalled at the racism displayed against the integration of Muslim and Arab players in the club,” he said.

      “This is an ugly, intolerable trend, and the Israel Police, the Football Association and the management of Beitar Jerusalem must deal with it immediately,” he added.
