In a statement provided to the Mirror US Sports, Kraft expressed sympathy for Palestinians who are suffering "real" losses while even calling for a sit-down conversation with Macklemore. 

...okay, that's also what Macklemore said. So what exactly did he say that involves "Jewish hate"?

Also seems pretty pathetic to call for a "sit down conversation" after you blocked an entire tour and then called all the other stadium owners to demand they block him as well.

You're open to a 'sit down conversation', as long as you first silence him?

And Italy, Poland, France, Switzerland, Brazil and South Korea. Not entirely banned from Brazil, South Korea or Russia, but cancelled events due to political backlash
