New Israel Fund

"Racism, mostly against Arabs, has plagued Israeli soccer for years. But the New Israel Fund organization's "Kick Racism out of Israeli Soccer" program reported last year that racist chanting declined during the 2010-11 season, saying that much of the change was tied to fans booing and silencing those who behaved in a racist fashion.  The overall problem involving Beitar, however, appears far from solved.  When Macabbi Haifa Muhamad Gadir recently offered to become the first Arab player for Beitar, fans balked, leading the team captain to apologize for wanting an Arab player."  Does New Israel Fund have a program to kick racism out of Israeli state, or better yet, kick Israel out of existence?   As if the problem is soccer and not the state and society and the governing ideology.
