"Don't Bring Hate to the Protest". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws5agnFz-pA

The commercial “Don't Bring Hate to the Protest” delivers a message that is designed to reach the general public. It has an unexpectedly innovative thought delivered with a solid punch – about antisemitism and all forms of hate.

It debuted nationally on TV in May during the Celtics vs. Cavaliers NBA Playoff game on TNT and aired again during the Knicks vs. Pacers NBA Playoff game.

This campaign is from the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism, founded by Robert K. Kraft, CEO of the Kraft Group, owner since 1994 of the New England Patriots, and winner of the Genesis Prize. Their first commercial aired during the Patriots/Jets NFL game.

More commercials and information are at their home website here: Foundation to Combat Antisemitism .

And another website of theirs, Stand Up To Jewish Hate has their campaign to make the blue square a recognizable symbol against antisemitism and all hate, with directions on how to make the blue square:

Search "blue square" in the emojis (smiley faces) on your cell phone to create your own message against hate, and type a # with it: #🟦

examples:

#🟦StandUpToJewishHate

#🟦StandUpToAllHate

#🟦StandUptoHate

I won't stay silent against antisemitism. Or any form of hate. #🟦StandUpToAllHate

Thank you to the Jewish Federation of El Paso and Las Cruces for raising awareness and sharing this commercial.
