"It's horrible that a group like Hamas can be respected and people in the United States can be supporting them when they are preaching hate and destruction," says Robert Kraft. "We have to fight hate in this country. We have to stand with each other, and we have to educate." pic.twitter.com/vmmCcJpziZ

“It’s horrible to me that a group like Hamas can be respected and people in the United States of America can be carrying flags or supporting them when they are preaching hate and destruction of the people,” Kraft said during a Tuesday appearance on “Squawk Box.”

He further added, “We have to fight hate in this country, and part of it is the education. Do people know that Hamas is preaching the eradication of all Jewish people from the Earth?”

[Finally, a reason to root for the Patriots! At least until Sunday. Seriously, though, kudos to Kraft. It would be easier to sit back and keep quiet, but some have a little more intestinal fortitude. If more people offered this kind of pushback, we might even cause some of Hamas’ useful idiots to think twice about their public declarations. — Ed]
