Beitar Jerusalem - Bnei Sakhnin live online 16 December 2023 Free




The Billionaire and the Base The sides in the Beitar-Sakhnin conflict have one important thing in common. Since 2005, the sponsor of both teams has been Arkadi Gaydamak, a Russian Jewish billionaire who holds passports from five different countries and is wanted in France for allegedly illegal weapons deals. In August of that year, he purchased Beitar Jerusalem and became its president. During the same month, he had begun to support Sakhnin financially. Both teams’ fortunes improved as the mogul opened his wallet to sign blue-chip talent: in 2007, Beitar took home its first championship in nine years without a title, and Sakhnin elevated itself back into the premier league. In last September, given the obvious conflict of interest, the Israeli Football Association instructed Gaydamak to divest himself of shares in Sakhnin, but the tycoon is still looking for indirect ways to bankroll the team. Against this background, other arrows in the Beitar backers’ verbal quiver — “May your village burn, ” “I swear to God that Arabs won’t be here” — should be taken more seriously. Conflict Over the Conflict’s Definition Ittihad Abna’ Sakhnin has only missed one season of premier league play since 2003. Its success was preceded by that of another Arab team, Ha-Po’el Taibeh, which visited the premier league for one season in 1996-1997. As the stronger team, however, Sakhnin constitutes the greater challenge to the ethnic logic of Beitar fans, who did not miss an opportunity to express their discomfort after Sakhnin climbed to the premier league. Sakhnin’s success made it the pride and joy of Arab fans throughout the country. Sakhnin is the only team in the premier league that has more fans than the number of residents in its home city. [7] In the cup final played between Sakhnin and Ha-Po’el Haifa in Ramat Gan on May 18, 2004, some three quarters of the 38, 000 spectators were Arabs, most of them not from Sakhnin. Any feelings of Arab or Palestinian pride, however, remained mostly unstated in the stadium. Unlike the cases of “flagship” teams of ethno-national minorities such as Athletic Bilbao in Spain (Basques) or the Jeunesse Sportive de Kabylie in Algeria (Berbers), it is uncommon to see forthright expressions of nationalism in the stands at Sakhnin matches.

Login · Football · Leagues · Matches ... The Beitar Jerusalem bleachers still resound with songs and slogans borrowed and adapted from old Sephardi Jewish religious tunes. Beitar’s transformation from a local club to a team with a national following is related to the close relationship between the team and Likud leaders, as well as the coincidence in time of Beitar’s first major achievements (winning the Israel State Cup tournament in 1976 and 1979) with the political upheaval that brought Likud into power. Although Likud candidates for prime minister were always Ashkenazim, by dint of being the major challengers to Labor hegemony, they attracted about half of Mizrahi voters between 1977 and 1992. The demographic coalition enabling Likud’s victory was reflected in the growing circle of Beitar boosters. At the games, youth from both sides observe and learn to adopt the interwoven strategies of protest and integration developed by their respective communities. Mizrahi Pride, Jewish Nationalism and Anti-Arabism The politicization of sports hearkens back to the time before the establishment of the state of Israel. In May 2004 Sakhnin even won the Israel State Cup, gaining the right to represent Israel in the European Cup tournament in the following year. After Sakhnin’s victory, a notice was published on an important Beitar-supporting website, The Fans’ Camp: “With deep sorrow we announce that Sakhnin won the State Cup. The Fans’ Camp will go dark until tomorrow. [Signed:] The Fans’ Camp website, Beitar’s fans, the State of Israel and the Jewish People. ” Not only were Beitar fans suffering private pain, apparently, but also the Jewish people had sustained a collective defeat. On October 4, 2004, Beitar was defeated 4-1 by Sakhnin in Jerusalem. Beitar fans published a video clip on the Internet that showed the goals scored in the game, accompanied by a very sad Mizrahi song and introduced by the words: “Yesterday was the most painful, humiliating and embarrassing day in the history of our club since it was founded in 1936…. This day is now inscribed in the history books as a day of mourning. Beitar Jerusalem vs Bnei Sakhnin H2H © Free Livescore site, mobile livescore, livescore today.

The vocabulary used by Sakhnin supporters when talking about these matches, and especially when addressing the Hebrew media, reflects a clear tendency to redefine the conflict as a moral struggle between “enlightened, tolerant fans” and “racist fanatics. ” Sakhnin fans’ insults of other teams and players are rarely anti-Jewish and not even often anti-Israel. One does hear sporadic curses of the state, but these voices tend to be shouted down quickly by the crowd. In January 2006, during a tumultuous Beitar-Sakhnin match, after the camps had exchanged curses, a Sakhnin fan faced the television camera and stated: “They are not Jews; they are racist. ” The subtext was: I curse them not because of their ethnic identity as Jews (as they curse us because we are Arabs), but because of their moral flaws. [8] They therefore tend to emphasize love of the “beautiful game” as the common denominator tying them to Jewish fans. Declamations of Arab or Palestinian patriotism might interrupt the comity, since most Israeli Jews consider these to be an extreme form of protest. The Sakhnin stadium’s slogans are either the same Hebrew cheers used by backers of other Israeli teams, or the same Hebrew curses heavy on sexism and homophobia (“Beitar is a whore, ” “Beitar on the prick”), or non-nationalist religious idioms, such as “pray for the prophet. ” Against this background, the games against Beitar constitute a special challenge, given the nature of the provocations Sakhnin’s cheering section has to face.
