Protests in Vienna against the match with Beitar tonight: 'Collaborating with Ben Gvir'

Radical left-wing organizations and pro-Palestinian activists are planning stormy protests in Vienna against the football match between Beitar Jerusalem and Austria Vienna, alleging racism and 'genocide'. The Jerusalem team will take to the pitch for the decisive second leg in the Conference League, needing to win by a two-goal margin to advance to the playoffs.

Tonight (Thursday), a volatile football match is expected to take place in Vienna between Beitar Jerusalem and Austria Vienna, accompanied by sharp protests planned by activist organizations from the radical left and pro-Palestinian activists. The organizations have launched a campaign against the Jerusalem club, describing it in their publications as a 'hothouse for Israeli fascists'. They claim that the club and its fans, particularly the 'La Familia' organization, maintain close ties with the extreme right in Israel. The organizers are calling for protests under the slogan 'Don't play with fascists' and have warned the local community of a security risk. The 'Ultras Antifa' organization published a call to action, with a poster reading: 'We will not allow the most racist club in Israel to play in our city without facing a response', using the slogan 'Stop the racist game!'. Activists in the 'Turn Left Now!' organization published severe accusations, including claims that La Familia members are hooligans, some of whom received military training. The match is the second leg of the third qualifying round of the Conference League. In the first match, Beitar took a 1-0 lead with a goal by Noam Mocha, but Austria Vienna won 2-1. The Jerusalemites need to win by a two-goal margin to advance to the playoffs.
