….and apparently it isn’t because they think he’s Muslim.
I guess that phone call I got the other night from Gaza wasn’t a death threat after all. Instead it was the ever delusional organizer of the “All This for Peace” organization (and I use the word organization very loosely), Abu Jayyeb, a 23-year old student from Gaza.
Give us more details, Abu-baboo:
[He] relies on his colleagues and friends to make the actual phone calls because he feels his own command of English is not up to the task. His knowledge of technology, however, very much is. Utilizing Voip and Skype, Ibrahim has crafted a system of politicking that runs on almost no cost in dollars (or shekels), but requires a great deal of patience and persistence. According to Ibrahim, 19 out every 20 calls his group makes ends with an unceremonious “hang-up.”
What amazing technological prowess this guy has. I can’t believe he knows how to click the “Download” button for a fucking free P2P communications program like Skype. He’s a genius!
Right, so, the guy knows how to download a program and dial an American phone number. How much damage is he doing?
Ibrahim told The Media Line that during the past seven months his group has reached between 5,000 and 6,000 Americans. If his assertion of 1-out-of-20 completed calls is accurate, 120,000 calls have been placed. Asked how he could weather such mass rejection, he replied, “It’s worth it.”
Seven months multiplied by 30 days divided by 6,000 calls = 14.3 phones calls per day.
Wow. Look out America. Another drop of unwanted solicitation is just a ring away.
