Back in May, European advocates for Barack Obama made news when they used Skype to call people in the United States to try to persuade them to vote for their candidate.

The idea has spread to the Palestinian territories, according to Associated Press.

Ibrahim Abu Jayab, 24, a non-English-speaking media student from Al-Aqsa Univesity, cold contacted American families at random to ask them to vote for Obama.

In one message, he said:"I'm Ibrahim Abu Jayab from Gaza Strip. I support the Senator Obama from Gaza Strip. I think the Senator Obama achieve the peace in the world and in my area. For the peace, please elect Senator Obama. Thank you very much."
