This week's violence said to have been perpetrated by Beitar Jerusalem soccer fans in Belgium has prompted outrage in Israel. A lawmaker from the centrist-secularist Yesh Atid party called on Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein on Saturday to outlaw a faction of Beitar fans known for their notoriously racist and xenophobic chants and behavior. MK Yoel Razbozov sent a letter to the attorney general over the weekend demanding that the so-called 'La Familia' group of Beitar fans be declared an illegal outfit.
