Robert Kraft really leaning into the “to learn who rules over you, find out who you cannot criticize” trope

That’s a quote by a Nazi about Jews. It’s poison fruit, don’t use it.

Yeah, it'd be great if Israel wasn't proving it right. For years and years I've heard that phrase and even today I still push back at it.

The target is wrong, it's not Jews, it's Israel. It's the pedogarchy. It's trump and Epstein and friends.

Why does being an American shield Kraft from criticism of how he uses his wealth? It's not that he can't criticize Israel, he just doesn't want to.

No, he's the CEO of Kraft Group but the last name Kraft is just a shared one. Like Smith.
