Jewish Leadership Fail: Ad against Anti-Semitism to Feature Farrakhan Supporter
Foundation to Combat Antisemitism’s Super Bowl ad features open Farrakhan supporter Snoop Dogg
Bob Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism — whose website never mentions anti-Semitism prominently — produced an ad to run during the Super Bowl featuring former Patriots star Tom Brady and rapper Snoop Dogg.
The two men trade generic sentences featuring the word “hate” and then (correctly) agree that hate is pointless.
What viewers may not know is that Snoop Dogg is an open supporter of Louis Farrakhan — one of America’s most venomous anti-Jewish hatemongers.
In 2019, when Facebook and Instagram removed Farrakhan’s social media accounts, the rapper expressed his outrage and sympathy for his “dear brother.”
As Fox News reported at the time, the rapper engaged in a profanity-drenched rant on behalf of the Nation of Islam’s leader.
“I stand with him. I’m with him,” he told his millions of followers. “If you’re down with it like I’m down with it, post your favorite Mr. Farrakhan videos on your Instagram and Facebook page,” he said, and asked the Internet to “Show some love to a real brother” because “All he ever do [sic] is tell the truth.”
Needless to say, this is unacceptable negligence on the part of the Kraft Foundation.
This is yet another example of how (not all but) many Jewish leaders are not serious about understanding the threats Jews face.
