Robert Kraft Gives Patriots Players An Emotional Welcome To TD Israel Trip

Patriots owner Robert Kraft nourishes his annual tradition of taking former and current Patriots players on a trip to Israel. “Touchdown in Israel III” includes Andre Tippett, Drew Bledsoe, Scott Zolak, Vince Wilfork, Ty Law, Kevin Faulk, newly-added assistant coach Jerod Mayo, and current Patriots Stephon Gilmore, Stephen Gostkowski, Joe Thuney, Nate Ebner, David Andrews, Isaiah Wynn and Brandon King.

The Patriots owner welcomed the 15 attendees, and delivered a brief speech.

“I want to welcome you all,” Kraft said. “I hope this turns out to be one of the greatest weeks of your life. There are connections that will be made that will just be life-changing. Let’s have a good time.”

“I hope it’s going to turn out to be one of the greatest weeks in your life,” Kraft added. This is over 100 times I’ve gone [to Israel], and the first time I went on my honeymoon with my sweetheart, it just changed my life. You’re in this spirituality, there are connections that will be made that will just be life-changing. It will give you a sense, an internal sense, of what a special experience.”

Well, everyone is going to have a good time, including the Patriots owner.

“Robert Kraft’s visit to Israel next week represents a very important milestone in the fight against anti-Semitism, BDS and other efforts to delegitimize the state of Israel,” said Stan Polovets, chairman and co-founder of the Genesis Prize Foundation.

“By accepting the Genesis Prize and declaring his commitment to confront the evils of anti-Semitism head-on, Robert has also accepted a tremendous amount of responsibility. Responsibility to speak up against hate. Responsibility to lead. And responsibility to unite.”

The Patriots owner is in the middle of a huge scandal. He was charged with two counts of prostitution soliciting, and his legal team is doing their best to protect his reputation. It was a big scandal, and Florida prosecutors tried to use the spa video to put a black dot on Kraft’s name. The case isn’t over yet, and Kraft will probably get out of the whole thing without any greater damage. Let’s see what happens next.
