Palestinians Phonebank for Obama

By Amanda Carpenter

"A television news segment produced by Al-Jazeera shows Palestinians in Gaza engaging in phone banking activities for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

The segment explains how young Palestinians have banded together to call American voters at random asking them to vote for Obama.

“It all started at the time of the US primaries,” says one of pro-Obama Palestinian organizers. “After studying Obama’s electro campaign manifesto I thought this is a man that’s capable of change inside of America."

Just the kind of change we want, right? .... Something to make the Palestinians happy. Oh, boy. That really turns my trigger.
