Patriots owner Robert Kraft pulls support from Columbia after anti-Israel protests: ‘No longer an institution I recognize'
[NY Post] New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft announced Monday that he was pulling his support from Columbia University over the ongoing anti-Israel protest at the Manhattan campus.

"It was through the full academic scholarship Columbia gave me that I was able to attend college and get my start in life and for that I have been tremendously grateful," Kraft said in a statement. "However, the school I love so much — the one that welcomed me and provided me with so much opportunity — is no longer an institution I recognize."

"I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country," Kraft added. "I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken.

"It is my hope that Columbia and its leadership will stand up to this hate by ending these protests immediately and will work to earn back the respect and trust of many of us who have lost faith in the institution," he continued.

"It is my hope that in this difficult time, the Kraft Center at Columbia will serve as a source of security and safety for all Jewish students and faculty on campus who want to gather peacefully to practice their religions, to be together and to be welcomed."
