Due to anti-Arab cheers emanating from the stands of right-wing affiliated soccer team Beitar Jerusalem, the team must play a home game against rival Maccabi Tel Aviv sans fans as punishment. The recent infraction occured last month when multiple fans initiated chants insulting Muhammed. In the past, fans booed during a moment of silence for assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin. Russian billionaire and aspiring politician Arcadi Gaydamak owns the team.
