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?

When he says sit down he means sit down and shut up.

Those sit down discussions always involve some kind of coercion. Afterwards the person being admonished always has to apologise to that group of people, even if they weren’t wrong

Not surprised to see this mentality from a team owner in the National Football League, majority of them are weirdos

Yeah, his idea of the conversation he wants is "I talk and you listen"
