A new advertising campaign in support of Republican Mitt Romney has provided more proof—if any was needed—that Israel, not America, is the primary concern for Jewish activists in America.
Ahead of Mitt Romney’s trip to Israel next week, the Republican Jewish Coalition (with Jewish Supremacist Sheldon Adelson as chairman of its board of directors), has launched a multimillion-dollar “My Buyer’s Remorse” ad campaign targeting Jewish-American voters.
The ad blitz attacks President Barack Obama’s positions on Israel and the Middle East. “These folks, in telling their own stories, give voice to the nagging doubts that many in the Jewish community feel about Obama,” RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said.
The first ad presents a testimonial from 48-year-old Michael – “Democrat. Jewish. Voted for Obama” – Goldstein of New Jersey. “I was a big Obama supporter, had a fundraiser in my home, gave money to his campaign, really believed in him and what he stood for,” Goldstein tells viewers.
Goldstein expresses his displeasure with Obama’s belief that the 1967 borders should be the starting point for peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
And he feels that Obama was “disrespectful” to Benjamin Netanyahu when the Israeli prime minister visited the White House.
“I think in the second term we’ll see the real Barack Obama, he won’t have politics to deal with, voters to deal with. He’s going to change the game for Israel, to place them in a place where they are in danger,” Goldstein asserts.
More testimonies are to be aired, targeting Jewish audience in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and most importantly, Florida. In addition, the organization plans to target Jewish voters in a wide-ranging social media campaign.
Asked by the Haaretz newspaper whether he has any concerns about the unprecedented influence of Adelson, a single donor who pledged to spend up to $100 million on the campaign to unseat Obama, the RJC’s Matt Brooks replied he does not.
“No, I’m not worried about that, and even Jewish Democrats took down their online petition against him because they realized they’ve been engaged in an unfair character assassination of one of the Jewish community’s most important leaders, who’s done more philanthropically for Jews around the world than anyone else.”
Brooks said he heard the same sentiments from American Jews living in Israel during his last trip to Israel with former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer. “The U.S. voters in Israel are overwhelmingly supportive of Governor Romney over President Obama; everywhere Ari Fleischer and I traveled, we heard concerns about the erosion of relations between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu. They are concerned whether this president has Israel’s back.”
On Sunday, Adelson and other prominent donors will attend the Republican candidate’s fundraiser at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem—the same one that was blown up by Zionist terrorists when they waged a murderous war against the British and United Nations overseers of Palestine after World War II.
