New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft won the 2019 Genesis Prize at the beginning of the year, receiving a million-dollar award given annually to Jewish individuals “who have attained excellence and international renown in their chosen professional fields.” At the award ceremony in June, the prize was presented by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a longtime friend of Kraft. In his acceptance speech, Kraft told the audience that he would use the prize money to combat antisemitism and BDS (the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement. He also pledged $20 million towards the creation of a foundation that would do the same.
“When I was awarded the Genesis Prize in January, I promised to dedicate myself even more than before to fighting anti-semitism, BDS, and other efforts to delegitimize the state of Israel,” Kraft declared, “My vision is to work to end the violence against Jewish communities. To counter the normalization of anti-Semitic narratives that question Israel’s right to exist, disguised as part of legitimate debate on campuses and in the media.”
Now we know specifically how Kraft will use the prize money. He’s teaming up with the Genesis Prize Foundation to launch a competition that will award $1 million in grants to groups that fight against BDS and the delegitimization of Israel. The competition, which is titled “Speak Out Israel,” will disburse the funds (at a minimum of $50,000 per grant) to Israeli nonprofits that portray Israel in a positive manner.
“We see our role as being a catalyst in helping to bring about the change we want to see in the world,” Genesis Prize Foundation president Steven Rakitt told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, “We bring together philanthropists to respond to the most critical issues in our community. Given the sharp rise in anti-Israel sentiment around the world, there is no question that we feel a responsibility to focus on combating this scourge.”
A press release on the group’s website includes a quote from Kraft detailing his personal connection to Israel. “Israel is so special to me and my family,” he said, “It’s where I took the love of my life on our honeymoon in 1963. Since then, I have sponsored dozens of missions and countless other trips for people to experience Israel for the first time. Spiritually, there is no place like it on earth. The more people learn about its history, its diverse culture and its innovation, the more we can do to change stereotypes and end antisemitism. That’s why Speak Out for Israel is so timely and important to Israel’s future.”
In the same week that the competition was announced, Human Rights Watch’s Omar Shakir became the first person to be expelled from Israel under the country’s BDS law. The law allows advocates for the movement to be denied entry into the country. Israel’s Strategic Affairs Ministry recommended that Shakir be barred because “he frequently retweets and shares material about BDS.”
It is time American tax payers stopped propping up an occupier, supplying it with the weapons that kill unarmed civilians, and allowed these stinking rich zionists around the world, to send those billions of dollars that we keep paying for this costly occupation. Surely Adelson and other wealthy American Jews can now step in and put their money where their mouth is?
The BDS movement must be hurting Israel, or why else should there be this huge effort to shut it down? It must make them feel insecure and afraid.
“DISTURBING SAGA OF ROBERT KRAFT’S VISIT TO A STRIP MALL SEX SPA
After the Patriots owner made two trips to Orchids of Asia Day Spa, where a half-hour “massage” costs $59, he was charged with soliciting a prostitute. …
…
Later that day, Kraft called his friend. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” his friend recalls him bragging. Kraft explained how he had gone for what he thought was a regular massage, but that the masseuse had given him a hand job instead.”

It’s funny how when it comes to I-P Zionists:
– promote anti-Semitism by repeatedly, strenuously and anti-Semitically conflating Israel with all Jews and all Jews with Israel; and
– vow to fight against justice, accountability and equality.
“‘No place like it on earth’”
No argument! In fact, to state the obvious, it’s “hell on earth” for the indigenous Palestinians, (i.e. including their ancestors, a continuous presence of about 15,000 years) who for over 71 years have been brutally and illegally occupied, dispossessed, expelled, massacred en masse, tortured, humiliated, imprisoned without trial, subject to collective punishments and destruction of their homes and olive groves, water deprivation, etc. All at the hands of Zionist Jews posing as descendants of the ancient Hebrews (whose presence in the lands between the River and the Sea was less than a blip) while receiving $billions in no strings attached aid courtesy of American taxpayers, (i.e., well over $134.7 billion since 1948) as well as protection by Washington in the geopoplitical arena. The good news is that the world, including Americans and righteous Jews everywhere are waking up and comprehending the pure evil of Zionism.
