The Harris campaign is reportedly launching targeted advertisements aimed at Jewish and Arab-American voters, presenting distinct messages regarding the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
According to a CNN report on Friday, Facebook ads from Vice President Kamala Harris appeared last month, with a specific appeal directed at Jewish voters in Pennsylvania.
“And let me be clear- I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself,” Harris states in the Facebook ad, using a line from her Democratic National Convention speech. “And I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself because the people of Israel must never again face the horror that a terrorist organization called Hamas caused on October 7, including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre of young people at a music festival.”
Harris later emphasizes, “And know this: I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.”
However, as CNN noted, the ad does not include sections from Harris’ original speech that addressed the “heartbreaking” “suffering” that has occurred in Gaza.
In contrast, the Harris campaign has produced a separate ad targeting Arab-American voters in Michigan, expressing empathy for the plight of civilians in Gaza.
“What has happened in Gaza over the past nine months is devastating,” Harris remarks in the ad. “We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering, and I will not be silent.”
In another speech included in the same ad, Harris says, “Our common humanity compels us to act.”
The ad is labeled with the message, “VP Harris has been working to end the suffering in Gaza.”
There has been considerable focus in Michigan, where some Arab-American communities have expressed frustration with the Biden administration’s approach to the Middle East, with some even indicating that they may withhold support from the Democratic ticket. Former President Trump is also looking to court this crucial demographic, recently holding a campaign event in Dearborn, Michigan, a city with a large Muslim population.
Both campaigns are also competing for the significant Jewish vote in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Bad lady. Bad vibes. Bad energy. Doug should throw her out.
What a fraud
Trump has been doing even worse. He claims to support Israel even though he and Vance tried to kill Biden’s big aid bill earlier this year. And his campaign has for months been telling Arab Americans in Michigan that Harris is way too strong a supporter of Israel. Meanwhile his Cult tells Jews that he supports Israel.
