Vice President Kamala Harris speaks alongside Democratic vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz at a campaign rally at the Fiserv Forum on August 20, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Later this week Harris will accept her party's presidential nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois.
A graphic advertisement by the Republican Jewish Coalition set to begin running on television and online in swing states on Wednesday accuses Vice President Kamala Harris of helping to enable the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
The ad opens with footage and images from the Oct. 7 attack — a Hamas fighter firing a weapon into a car, a children’s room covered in smeared blood, a Hamas fighter standing atop an Israeli tank and images of burned out cars.
“Where did it all start? Follow the money,” the ad’s narrator intones. “The attacks on Israel started with Iran.”
The ad goes on to accuse Harris and other politicians of enabling the attack by supporting the Iran nuclear deal, lifting sanctions on Iran and allowing money into Iran as part of the nuclear deal.
“Harris was weak, Israel paid the price,” the ad concludes.
The advertisement is part of the RJC’s $15 million anti-Harris, pro-Trump ad campaign targeting Jewish voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona and Nevada.
The ad is set to begin running less than 24 hours after a large-scale Iranian missile attack on Israel.
The Harris campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
