But don’t scream at the Jewish kid walking to class,” the 30-second ad states, featuring photos from protests since October 7th. But there cannot be hate speech or intimidation,” Tara Levine, president of Kraft’s foundation said in a statement to CNN. “Our ad shows when protests create dialogue, but also when they cross the line into hate.”Kraft similarly purchased a Super Bowl ad this year to highlight antisemitism, however, the ad did not focus specifically on campus protests. But administrators have said the protests have disrupted life on campus, threatened students’ security and broke school rules. The campus protests, however, will not be a major section of the president’s remarks.

Protests at Columbia University have attracted national headlines, prompted congressional hearings and led to the arrest of more than 100 students. This week, the New England Patriots owner, Robert K. Kraft, one of the school’s most famous and wealthiest graduates, stepped into the fray. Mr. Kraft, who graduated from Columbia in 1963 and has donated millions of dollars to the university, said he would stop giving money to the school until it took action to curtail the hate speech that had been directed at some students and staff members. “I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff, and I am not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken,” Mr. Kraft said in a statement on Monday. Protests have roiled the campus in Upper Manhattan this month, with students arrested after refusing to leave a pro-Palestinian encampment and crowds of protesters outside the school gates at times harassing Jewish students or shouting antisemitic comments.

Robert Kraft’s campaign comes as the number of reported antisemitic incidents in the U.S. rose last year to a record high. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft wants to make more Americans aware that antisemitism has become increasingly widespread in the U.S. in recent years. One of his organizations, the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, funded a $25 million campaign launching Monday to denounce antisemitism. The campaign—“Stand Up to Jewish Hate”—will feature ads on social media and on network broadcasts.
