In the article, they quote Kraft saying he has been a long time financial supporter of the Palestinian people.

So we're gonna see if his money lands where his mouth is. I have my doubts but I'm open to a happy surprise.

    no... he has said he has tried to build bridges in terms of employment between Palestinian youth and Israeli youth. which is a much more specific statement. he's also only said he's been asked to be give money 'in the region' which he hasn't actually said he'll do it or not, and only 'in the region' which could be qualified by giving Bibi a $2mil donation.

    I'll admit I didn't read the article, lol. But - hang on, if he's a long-standing financial supporter of the Palestinian people, I'm genuinely confused as to why he's so upset at Macklemore's remarks.

    Are we sure he isn't just saying whatever platitudes get him more money and support?

    He's a long time funder of Our Generation Speaks which is an "ex" Israeli intelligence officer who pays token Palestinians to be pro-Israel, that's the only Palestinian thing his foundation funds.
