The Harris campaign is sending different messages to Jewish Arab American voters about the war between Israel and Hamas

The Harris campaign is reportedly launching ads aimed at Jewish and Arab-American voters that convey different messages about the ongoing war in the Middle East.

A report from CNN on Friday put the spotlight on Vice President Kamala Harris' Facebook ads last month that targeted Jewish voters in Pennsylvania.

“And let me be clear: I will always stand for Israel’s right to defend itself,” Harris says in the Facebook ad, which was taken from her speech at the DNC convention. “And I will always ensure that Israel has the ability to defend itself, because the Israeli people must never again face the horrors wrought by a terrorist organization called Hamas on October 7, including unspeakable sexual violence and the massacre to young people at a music festival.” “

After changing it, Harris added: “And one thing you should know: I will never hesitate to take any action necessary to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists.”

But as CNN noted, the ad removed portions of Harris' speech in which he acknowledged the “heartbreaking” “suffering” that has taken place in Gaza.

Meanwhile, the Harris campaign launched a separate ad targeting Arab Americans in Michigan, expressing solidarity with civilians in Gaza.

“What has happened in Gaza over the last nine months is devastating,” Harris says in the ad. “We cannot allow ourselves to become numb to the suffering, and I will not remain silent.”

In another speech in the same ad, Harris says, “Our common humanity compels us to act.”

The video itself is titled: “VP Harris worked to end suffering in Gaza.”

The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

There was widespread attention in Michigan, where Arab Americans expressed outrage over the Biden administration's handling of the Middle East and threatened to withhold their support for the Democratic nominee. Meanwhile, former President Trump is hoping to gain traction with this key voting bloc with a recent campaign stop in the heavily Muslim town of Dearborn, Michigan.

Both campaigns are also vying to win over the significant Jewish population in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
