Palestinians in Gaza Are Phonebanking for Barack Obama(not kidding!!)
NRO ^

Posted on 05/13/2008 1:39:27 PM PDT by wsjreader

I transcribed the most jaw-dropping parts:

REPORTER: It may be hard to believe, but working in this tiny Internet cafe in Gaza City may just be one of Barack Obama's biggest fans.

Before every U.S. primary, 23-year-old Ibrahim Abu Jayyab gathers 17 of his friends to try and rally support for Obama's campaign in the U.S.

So why does a young Palestinian living in Gaza spend so much of his time and money on an election thousands of miles away?

ABU JAYYAB: [translated] It all started at the time of the U.S. primaries. After studying Obama's electoral campaign manifesto, I thought, 'this is a man that is capable of change inside America.' As for potential change in the Middle East, he can also do that. I think he can bring peace to the area, or at least this is what we hope.

REPORTER: And the game plan? Ibrahim and his friends call random numbers in the U.S. before every primary to deliver one simple message:

ABU JAYYAB: [in English] Elect Senator Obama. I will change. I will achieve... the justice in the Middle East.

“...’this is a man that is capable of change inside America.’ As for potential change in the Middle East, he can also do that. I think he can bring peace to the area...”

We are getting closer and closer to describing the antichrist.

I just hope and pray that John McCain doesn’t mention this at any time during the next 6 months, because that would be outrageous.

And the Barr supporters just ignore this. Unbelievable. They will likely elect this guy and we’ll all go into the toilet.

Isn't this some kind of campaign law violation? I mean, foreign contribution in kind and all that stuff?

I don’t know if you are kidding about the anti-christ, frankly, I don’t dismiss the idea. This guy makes me very, very, nervous.

Obama: "I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems".
Obama: "I will not weaponize space."
Obama: "I will slow development of future combat systems... "
Obama: "I will institute a 'Defense Priorities Board' to ensure
the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary ...."

If this story is true, it is proof of the “he is a Muslim contrary to our interests” case against him.
