A big influence

Ron Cook wrote about Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft’s Tree of Life visit (Feb. 3, “Patriot’s Owner Kraft Steps up, Stands Tall in Aftermath of Tree of Life Massacre”).

I was struck by Mr. Kraft saying: “We need to keep building bridges and let people know we care about one another.”

Mr. Kraft is a big supporter of Israel; if only he would use his powerful influence to get the Israeli government to practice that toward the Palestinians. That would really be stepping up. DAVID HUGHES
