New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said Thursday that the campus protests launched nationwide in response to Israel’s campaign in Gaza are another parallel of the lead-up to the Holocaust. In an interview with CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street”, Kraft, a longtime supporter of Columbia University, said that when he created the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, in part as a response to the “Unite the Right” protest in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017, he saw rising signs of extreme hatred.
Even as Kraft compared today’s protests unfavorably to the antiwar ones he experienced as a student in the 1960s — hailing that era as an “open forum” where “free speech prevailed and people express their opinion,” he praised the decision to send in the New York City Police Department to arrest protesters. “I think Mayor Adams and Governor Hochul and the New York Police Department did a great job when they were called in,” Kraft said.
