Pro-Israel Patriots owner Robert Kraft spends $7M to use Super Bowl as political soapbox

Super Bowl LVII in 2023 was the most-watched US telecast in history, and with well over 100 million people expected to tune in on Feb. 11, Super Bowl Sunday will provide one of the biggest platforms on Earth for pro-Israel groups to attempt to justify Israel's ongoing genocidal war on Gaza. The Foundation to Combat Anti-Semitism, which is owned by Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the NFL's New England Patriots, has purchased a $7 million TV ad spot on Super Bowl Sunday to "Stop Jewish Hate."
