Patriots Owner Robert Kraft Ramps Up Fight Against Rising Antisemitism Alongside Doug Emhoff
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft strengthened his initiative in the fight against antisemitism in America. Since Hamas viciously attacked Israel on Oct. 7, progressives in America have rallied around anti-Israel and anti-Jewish speech. Revolted by this trend in the U.S., Kraft is upping his support to mend ties between Jewish groups and opposing communities.
Partnering with fellow Jewish figure Doug Emhoff, Second Gentleman of the United States, the Patriots owner took another bold stance against antisemitism as concern grew over its rampant influence on modern society.

Emhoff met up with Kraft during a trip to Massachusetts on Monday, according to Bloomberg.
Kraft also aired the "Stand Up To Hate" ad during the Super Bowl, once again highlighting an urgency to keep support for Jews and Jewish Americans strong. Civil rights leader Clarence Jones also joined the talks for improved ties between Jewish and African-American communities.
Kraft's talks with Emhoff emphasized the White House's role in combating antisemitism and other forms of harassment; an intriguing notion for Emhoff, considering the Biden administration's wobbling support for a Palestinian state.
OutKick's Amber Harding reported that Kraft gave another $100 million last year, within two months of the start of the Hamas-Israel war.
In early 2023, Robert Kraft pledged an additional $25 million toward fighting antisemitism in America.
"If we don't get it in check I really think it'll impact our way of life in this country," Kraft told The Wall Street Journal.
Veiled in "pro-Palestinian" activism, ethically and politically volatile U.S. citizens demonize Jewish people for supporting Israel. Jewish Americans already experienced a 36 percent increase in hate crimes in 2022 before the Hamas-Israel war drove up antisemitic rhetoric and political violence.
