The ad is part of the 'Stand Up to Jewish Hate' campaign, highlighting the significant increase in antisemitism.
- Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, is buying a Super Bowl ad to highlight the rise of antisemitism, marking the first time his Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (FCAS) is buying an ad during the event.
- The ad is part of the 'Stand Up to Jewish Hate' campaign, which was launched in response to several antisemitic incidents, including comments from Kanye West and the October 7 assault by Hamas militants in Israel.
- FCAS research shows a significant increase in antisemitic posts and Google searches, with 183 million posts on social media related to antisemitism and Jewish culture in 2023 — a 330% increase from the prior year.
- Kraft has recently poured millions of dollars into FCAS to combat the spread of hatred and raise awareness.
- The Super Bowl ad, costing a reported $7 million, will air on CBS on February 11.
