(Jewish Group) Republican Jewish group launches $10 million ads calling Democrats a 'shanda'

Republican Jewish group launches $10 million presidential campaign with ads calling Democrats a ‘shanda’

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

The Republican Jewish Coalition launched a $10 million campaign — an unprecedented amount in partisan Jewish advertising — with online ads depicting 2020 Democratic presidential candidates as a “disgrace.”

Videos titled “Shanda,” Yiddish for “disgrace,” blast the Democrats for saying they would consider reducing aid to Israel.

“The radical Left has taken the reins of the Democratic Party, and their policy proposals will devastate our national security, our alliance with Israel, our economy, and our health care system,” Matt Brooks, the RJC’s executive director, said in a statement announcing the release of the 15- to 30-second ads.

The placement of the videos on Facebook, YouTube and other media will cost $50,000. Brooks confirmed to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency a report in Axios that the RJC had budgeted $10 million for its 2020 efforts.

Maybe, just maybe, these assholes should take a long hard look at their OWN house before hurling comments like "Shanda" at democrats.

I don’t understand Jewish republicans, but maybe that’s just me. Why anyone would want to be a member of any group that embraces people who hate you is beyond me.

The idea of Jews or members of any minority group voting for Trump - I don't suppose there are very many!

Some of it is simple demographics: Orthodox are a growing percentage of Jewish people in the USA, both due to birth and outreach to BTs. Orthodox are overwhelmingly “value voters” and line up with Republicans. I am literally the last Democratic voter at my shul.

The second parts are economic and social— the 99% movement had lots of thinly disguised antisemtic assholes in it — as does ANTIFA. We made a strategic mistake, as a party, of tolerating that.

Finally, we’ve failed to reject the openly anti Semitic members of our party, largely because they are also members of persecuted groups. This also was a mistake.

Anyway, this is a real problem, and we had best not ignore it. We keep going like this and we will be like the Labour Party in England in 10 years.
