IAC Salutes Robert Kraft for Expelling Macklemore’s Antisemitism from the Stage
The Israeli-American Council (IAC) applauds Robert Kraft and his fellow stadium owners for their moral leadership in expelling rapper Macklemore from the concert stage rather than allow him to promote antisemitism.
Recently, before tens of thousands of concertgoers at MetLife Stadium, Macklemore celebrated the pro-Hamas riots and encampments at universities that had harassed Jewish students, and slandered Israel with the lie of genocide, all while ignoring the crimes against humanity perpetrated by Hamas. Hamas’ mass murder, mass r**e, mass torture, and hostage taking of Jews on October 7, 2023, escaped any mention during his tirade against the Jewish state. Unfortunately, this was not Macklemore’s first offense. In 2014, he appeared onstage wearing a large prosthetic nose, dark wig and beard, drawing widespread criticism for evoking antisemitic caricatures.
Robert Kraft’s moral leadership establishes what should be an obvious principle: a performer who traffics in antisemitism should not be given a stage. As a result, Macklemore will no longer be allowed to subject audiences to his hateful rants. The IAC salutes and thanks Mr. Kraft for setting an example for all to follow.
