New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft took out a full-page ad in newspapers to condemn the anti-Israel protests and slammed the 'cowardice' of them.
New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft took out a full-page ad in several newspapers on Thursday, condemning the anti-Israel protests and the hate being spewed on campuses in the U.S. Kraft released the ad through his Foundation to Combat Antisemitism. He pulled his support for Columbia University, his alma mater, last month when the mob violence kick-started.
In the ad, Kraft said he was 'saddened' to see what was taking place at Columbia and 'appalled' at what was going on across other campuses in the U.S. He said he believed hot political topics should be debated but 'hate speech' and 'physical intimidation' is 'completely unacceptable.' 'The leadership and faculty of so many of our leading educational institutions have failed their students,' Kraft said in the ad.
Shouting vile, hate filled labels at students while hiding behind masks is not free speech—it is cowardice. Instead of colleges and universities teaching the core principles of free speech and debate our country was founded on, they are emboldening hate that is tearing their campuses, and our youth apart.' Kraft said that students should not be pardoned for their actions.
Kraft echoed some of those sentiments on Fox News Channel’s 'Hannity' on Wednesday night. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
