WATCH: Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who allegedly got Ed Sheeran to kick Macklemore off his tour, receives an award from Israel presented to him by Netanyahu for his commitment to the Zionist project.
"After my family, there is nothing I'm more passionate about than the State of Israel and my Jewish identity," Kraft—who was born in and became a billionaire in America—says.
He pledges to "challenge those who are against Israel" and announces he will spend $20m to fight "anti-Semitism" on social media (targeted at young people) and attack the BDS movement.
Listen to how he touts Israel being "a bastion of free" (while he works to suppress free speech in America).
Kraft also touts how Jewish-Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich has pledged $5m to his fund as well (Abramovich later fled Russia for Israel after the Ukraine war broke out).
This award show was held on June 18, 2019. The award he received was Israel's Genesis Prize.
(Note, you can see the late GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson in the crowd at 5:12, and then-US Ambassador to Israel David M. Friedman at 6:35.)
@gingerrtom nobody in @edsheeran's camp could knew that
@macklemore did hold this sentiments. He only stated them for couple of years at every concert.
🇳🇴🇮🇱 3 years in prison for trading with Israelis
Norway is advancing legislation that would impose up to three years in prison on individuals or companies that trade with Israelis in the West Bank, with the foreign minister estimating passage as early as this fall, per Norwegian media NRK
Robert Kraft, owner of the Gillette Stadium, New England Patriots, New England Revolution a (MLS) club and Patriot Place shopping center was the man who instigated the boycott against Macklemore.
You know what to do.
We can boycott people too.
