Kamala Harris wants Jews to donate to her campaign — in multiples of 18
Forward ^ | 8/26/2024 | Lauren Markoe

Posted on 08/26/2024 8:13:42 PM PDT by Right Wing Vegan

The Harris-Walz campaign did not immediately respond to any of my questions about its chai strategy. How many people did they send the $`18-$36-$54-$72 solicitation to, and how did they know those people were Jewish? Was it the brainchild of Harris’ Jewish husband, Doug Emhoff? Do Jewish recipients like this subtle “I see you” messaging — or find it a bit creepy?

And, most importantly, how much did it bring in?

I also reached out to the Trump campaign to see if they’re also asking Jews for multiples of chai. No immediate answer from them either.

Halie Soifer, CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, said her organization always asks for donations in multiples of chai, but that this is the first time she’s heard of a political campaign doing so.

I'm not Jewish, but I'll donate in a multiple of $18.

$18 x 0 = $0.

I wonder if donating 18 cents will result in processing costs exceeding the donation.

Donating to charity of giving gifts in multiples of $18 is a longstanding Jewish tradition rooted in the numerical value of the Hebrew word chai, which means “life,”
...........................................

Ironic.

Seems appropriate...

Definitely creepy, as you wrote: ...”and how did they know those people were Jewish?”

The Surveillance State knows everything. If you use a “smartphone” or a computer all of your info is available for them to see .

Defense contractors help thugs like the FBI track down J6’ers .

For them to determine if someone is Jewish would be a piece of cake due to the data mining available to them.

For a contribution of $18, $36, $54, or $72, you get this lovely coat patch.

Was it the brainchild of Harris’ Jewish husband, Doug Emhoff?

Men who cheat on their wives like the number 18?

Whose idea was this?

Antisemites cite the number “18” as standing for the initials of Adolf H., substituting the number for the place of the letter in the alphabet.

Should have read this part first.

If the Trump campaign did this, the Democrats would most definitely link it to Adolf and “white supremacy”, even though he could hit back at them doing precisely that. Eighteen, after all.
