By Gloria Ogbonna

Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots, is set to broadcast a “Stand Up to Jewish Hate” ad during the Super Bowl.

The 30-second ad, created by Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, will address the surge in antisemitic sentiments following Israel’s response to the October 7 terrorist attack orchestrated by Hamas in Gaza.

Kraft emphasized the need for urgent action in the face of the alarming increase in antisemitic incidents and hate across the nation.

In a historic move, FCAS (Foundation to Combat Antisemitism) is set to air a poignant ad during the upcoming Super Bowl, an event that brings people of diverse backgrounds together.

The 30-second ad, titled “Stand Up to Jewish Hate,” will address the surge of antisemitic sentiment following Israel’s response to the October 7 terrorist attack orchestrated by Hamas in Gaza.

Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots and the driving force behind FCAS, expressed the urgency of taking action against the alarming rise in hate, emphasizing the need for collective efforts to combat this issue.

The “Stand Up to Jewish Hate” campaign was launched by Kraft in response to rapper Kanye West’s anti-Jewish remarks. Kraft, an 82-year-old philanthropist, has gone beyond ad campaigns, committing $25 million to raise awareness about antisemitism, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Notably, he has made significant donations to various causes in Israel, contributing to the development of sports complexes and engaging in philanthropic endeavors.

This Super Bowl ad initiative serves as a powerful platform to encourage individuals from all walks of life to unite against hatred. Advertisers recognize the Super Bowl’s unparalleled viewership, making it a strategic choice for conveying impactful messages.

Kraft’s commitment to combating antisemitism was underscored in 2023 when he matched a $100 million donation to his foundation following a tragic terrorist attack in Israel.

Expressing concern about the support for groups like Hamas among young people in America, Kraft highlighted the importance of addressing these issues collectively.

By leveraging the Super Bowl’s wide-reaching audience, the “Stand Up to Jewish Hate” ad aims to inspire more people to actively join the fight against all forms of hatred, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility.
