Building America’s Future: The Campaign to Save Israel and Keep It Away from the Antisemitism of the Voting Confrontation

Building America’s Future is expanding an ad campaign targeted at undecided voters in swing states, 404 Media reports. Over the past week, the PAC spent over $300,000 on a dozen Facebook ads, which are sub-targeted to 819 different audience segments. There is a photo of dozens of migrants at the US-Mexico border in an ad that reads, “Imagine a world where the American Dream has no borders.” Another ad says Harris “wasn’t just a supporter of the Green New Deal” and claims she supports “a world without gas-powered vehicles.”

The Department of Justice has warned Musk that the lottery may be illegal, but he has continued to distribute the first of these checks.

Jeremy Moss said he believes Jewish voters will back the Democratic nominee, despite their concerns about antisemitism.

Recent polls from the Jewish Democratic Council of America suggest those numbers are holding steady. But some others, including one from the conservative Manhattan Institute, suggest what the organization’s report characterized as “growing cracks in that support.”

Some Jews live in swing states like Michigan and Arizona, and small groups can have a big influence in a close election.

The second gentleman at the Harris event, Doug Emhoff, spoke about the VP’s commitment to supporting Israel and fighting antisemitism. He reminded the crowd of the anniversary of the deadly mass shooting attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue.

“When Kamala is President, she will continue to stand with Israel and with the Jewish community — our community,” Emhoff said. She will reject any ideas of anti-Semitism or the idea that Israel has the right to exist.

Kamala Harris held the line against the voices on the far left who spout off antisemitism in regards to the Israel conflict.

“Israel is in, literally, the fight for its existence,” former Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman, now the national chairman of the Republican Jewish Coalition, told a room of supporters at a country club in suburban Detroit on Monday. The existence of the Jewish state is in jeopardy, both in terms of war and battle, as well as what happens in the United States when it comes to whether or not folks are going to step back.

“It’s been a tepid response at best by this administration,” Weissman said about antisemitism in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas-led militants. The attack killed 1,200 people in Israel, according to the Israeli government. The Ministry of Health in Gaza said Israel’s military response had killed tens of thousands of Palestinians.

A report released by the Anti-Defamation League — using an expanded definition of antisemitism to include some anti-Zionist language — found a record number of those types of incidents in the year since the Hamas attacks, including thousands surrounding left-wing anti-Israel demonstrations.

Weissman said she thinks those realities could reshape voting patterns among Jewish Americans, who’ve historically sided overwhelmingly with Democrats.

Weissman has heard claims that former president Donald Trump condoned antisemitic rhetoric. But she thinks his words are sometimes taken out of context. And she likes his record on Israel, including his decision to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

The RJC is investing $15 million in the 2024 campaign, in an effort to win over Jewish voters in swing states through ads, canvassing and other outreach. The group is highlighting the support Donald Trump has for Israel, particularly his support of the Abraham Accords which seeks to improve relations between Israel and some of its Arab neighbors.
