ABSTRACT

During the first decade of the State of Israel (1950s), football was the most popular sport in the country. Yet at the time football in Israel was governed by political interests and was non-professional as well, such that players could not receive any material remuneration and were expected to be loyal to the club and the state. Nevertheless, a few players left their clubs and their country and travelled abroad to play as professionals. This act provoked a harsh response from the media and the Israel Football Association (IFA) and also from politicians from every Zionist organization in Israel. The present paper tells the story of these footballers and the sanctions imposed upon them by the authorities in order to put a stop to this practice, mainly because of its perceived threat to Israeli society as a whole.

摘要

在以色列建国的头十年（1950 年代），足球是该国最受欢迎的运动。而当时以色列的足球受政治利益支配，又是非职业的，球员得不到任何物质报酬，只能忠于俱乐部和国家。尽管如此，还是有一些球员离开了他们的俱乐部和国家，前往国外以职业球员的身份参加比赛。这一行为引起了媒体和以色列足球协会 (IFA) 以及以色列每个犹太复国主义组织的政治家的严厉回应。本文讲述了这些足球运动员的故事，以及当局为制止这种做法而对他们实施的制裁，主要是因为它对整个以色列社会构成了威胁。
