I've Been Thinking:

Palestinian Media Watch called something to my attention that I consider to be relevant to our understanding of how far the influence of the United States really reaches.

A story running in the Palestinian press contained an interview with a man who was organizing volunteers within the Palestinian Authority to randomly call United States citizens living in the United States and influence them to vote for Obama.

This Palestinian was using broadband calling so the phone calls were free and the volunteers were free. He did not buy a list. The volunteers were just dialing the phone. Whoever answered, answered and was then engaged in dialogue by a Palestinian living in the Palestinian Authority.

What I found most interesting was the response of other Palestinians.

According to the Palestinian press reporting on this story most Palestinians are apathetic about the US election because they feel that no matter who is elected, either way, the strong friendship between the United States and Israel will continue.

That is worth hearing about.
The vast majority of the Muslim world understands the special relationship that the United States of America, not the president of the United States, has with Israel.
