For the past seven months, a group of students and young professionals has gathered nightly to phone U.S. voters and urge them to support Barack Obama in the presidential elections.
This would not be at all unusual were it not for the fact that the callers are Palestinians living in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
The callers are volunteers who meet in a local Internet café or a room at a youth center equipped with computers they use to make their calls.
The group was organized by Ibrahim Abu Jayyeb, a 23-year-old university student, who told The Media Line he is working on behalf of Obama because he is the kind of person who when he says I will change America, [he] will do what he says.
He also said: I believe that Barack Obama will achieve peace in the area, in the Middle East and Palestine, between us, the Palestinian people, and the Jewish people.
A typical phone call monitored by The Media Line went like this:
Gaza: Hello, how are you? I hope you are fine.
U.S.: How may I help you?
Gaza: Give me two minutes. I am here, living in the Gaza Strip, in Palestine. As you know, we live here in a miserable situation and we need peace, necessarily. We are a group making the U.S. people to elect Senator Obama. We think he is a man of peace, so please kindly support us by electing Senator Obama.

All you base are belong to us!..............
Let us never EVER forget who danced in the street by the thousands on 911.
This is even more important why we can’t let Obama win. If the terrorists love him, we know that’s a bad sign.
McCain-Palin’08!!!!
I remember this being in the news at the same time Amity found the MidEast donations and NCFool found the information about the TShirts being smuggled through the tunnels.
Then, it went away to that vast news black hole.
Yeah, if some guy with an Arabic accent called me up wanting me to vote for Obama, that’d sure get me on his bandwagon.
yeah, more Obama supporters. Last I heard, Barry has still forgotten to send that money back to the Palestinians.
If I get a call from a palestinian youdth, I think me shoot the phone
Doesn’t this violate some international law?
At the least, it violates good sense.
Voters: beware.
Don’t tell us Newsmax, tell AIPAC. I’m sure they’re going to love this.

Pancakes For Peace?
It’s their dime, so keep them talking as long as possible, then tell them you’re a disgruntled Hillary supporter, and intend to vote for Sarah Palin.
Consider it a public service.
IIRC, Federal Law prohibits foreign contributions in elections. What about foreign influence in general?
