Robert Kraft’s Blue Square Alliance Against Hate antisemitism ad faced criticism from a columnist on Thursday.
The ad called on Americans to stand up against antisemitism and all forms of hate through the "Sticky Note" campaign. The commercial featured a young student who is victimized in the halls of his school for being Jewish, with classmates sticking a degrading, antisemitic note on his backpack without him noticing.
It goes on to show a fellow student silently overlaying the hateful sticky note with one of his own, a blue square. The student also places a similar blue square on his chest and proudly walks alongside the Jewish boy.
"But the new ad is so offensive not only because it blows—or because, in reality, prominent American Muslims have spent the past three years acting very un-Bilal-like and drumming up everything from modern-day blood libels to violent antisemitic pint-sized pogroms on college campuses—but also because of what it tells us about the mindset of so much of organized Judaism these days," he added.
Leibovitz argued that ads like that need to be tougher and more to the point.
The Blue Square Alliance Against Hate has released ads calling on Americans to rid of antisemitism. The group has had previous campaigns showcasing powerful ads, including its "When There Are No Words" message that had a heavy impact in October 2025.
During last year’s Super Bowl, Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg were among those featured in "No Reason To Hate." Blue Square also ran its "Silence" ad during the Super Bowl in 2024.
