Al Jazeera has posted the following on YouTube:
While US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama leads rival Hillary Clinton in the polls, Palestinians in Gaza are launching their own attempt to boost his campaign.
I found out about the video on Weasel Zippers, who writes about the Palestinian effort:
Unfortunately for them, Arabs calling from the Middle East soliciting votes for Obama is going to have the opposite effect they intended....Yeah, and Palestinian support for Saddam Hussein didn't do him much good either. However, at least you can understand how Palestinians were drawn to Hussein--he actually took action on behalf of the Palestinian Arabs, giving money to the families of suicide bombers. In the case of Obama, Palestinians reveal once again that it is the rhetoric that is primary.
