RJC launches two digital ad buys in swing states against Biden’s Israel ‘failures’

The group plans to spend $50,000 in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Michigan.

An advertising campaign by the Republican Jewish Coalition seeks to confront Jewish voters with what it calls “Biden’s shameful hypocrisy.”

“As antisemitism spikes to record highs and America’s relationship with our ally Israel continues to reach new lows, the Jewish community is more energized than ever to turn the page from the failures, broken promises, and betrayals by Joe Biden,” stated Norm Coleman and Matt Brooks, national chairman and CEO of the RJC, respectively.

Coleman and Brooks said the group would release an “opening salvo of hyper-targeted digital ads” to run in “the key battleground states of Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Michigan, targeting Jewish voters by deploying the most cutting-edge data operation in Jewish politics.”

The first ad focuses on what Coleman and Brooks describe as “Biden stabbing Israel in the back by withholding urgently needed military aid to the Jewish state as it fights for its very survival, effectively siding with Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah,” and putting the more than 100 hostages still being held in Gaza “at risk.”

The second ad features footage of Biden from 2019 declaring it “preposterous” to withhold military aid from its Mideast ally, Israel.

Coleman and Brooks conclude by calling for “strong leaders who will stand up for Israel, stand up for freedom, and defeat terrorism. We need President Donald Trump back in the White House.”

“This could have been the greatest terrorist tragedy in America since 9/11,” Eric Fingerhut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, told JNS.
The outcomes of the primaries show that “being pro-America, pro-Israel is good policy and good politics,” the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
The memo calls on the party to be aware of “the strategic goal of groypers across the nation” to take over the Republican party from within.
The New York City mayor said that he is “grateful that Leqaa has been released this evening from ICE custody after more than a year in detention for speaking up for Palestinian rights.”
The co-author of the K-12 law told JNS that “this attempt to undermine crucial safety protections for Jewish children at a time when antisemitic hate and violence is rampant and rising is breathtaking.”
The measure has drawn opposition from civil-liberties groups, including the state’s ACLU.
