Hi, I'm Richard Gere, and I'm speaking for the entire world.

In an ad that attempts to use both glamour and religion to get Palestinians to the polls, Gere states: "Hi, I'm Richard Gere, and I'm speaking for the entire world. We're with you during this election time. It's really important: Get out and vote." It's unclear what kind of sway Gere may have with Palestinians. One man who appeared with him in the spot said he'd never heard of Gere. Appearing with Gere in the spot are the head of the Islamic court in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the spokesman for the Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem.

Personally, I think Gere is an asswipe and he couldn't persuade me to step out of a burning building.
