Speaking to CNN on Monday, Kraft said: “If we don’t do a good job of controlling it, I think hate leads to violence. And what we’re seeing going on in this country now is really scary to me.”
He said that while “most people are good, but when you start seeing hate and it starts with Jewish hate, there will be hate against all minorities.”
Kraft said that since the Hamas terror massacre, his Foundation to Combat Antisemitism has been combatting online misinformation about the war between Israel and Hamas.
“50% of what’s being spread is lies and not accurate, and young people unfortunately are believing,” he said.
“I had people who didn’t want to do business with me. They thought I had horns in my head. They had never met someone from my background and it just allows you to work harder.”
when you start seeing hate and it starts with Jewish hate, there will be hate against all minorities.” That’s the mistake everyone is making. It’s different this time. This time the minorities are the source of the hate to begin with.
I was once in a small rural town somewhere near the NY Pennsylvania border and a cashier in a store asked about my yamalka. After I explained that I was Jewish she said she had never met a Jew before and she asked about horns.
The idea that Jews have horns comes from a Michelangelo statue which has what appear to be horns on the head of what he represented as Moshe Rabanu.
He should combat antisemitism by keeping mitzvahs first. The only cure for antisemitism is torah and mitzvah observance.
I was born with horns too, but had them removed surgically. You can’t notice anything today.
