The video is for Hattler's song "Assalamu Alaikum" about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Here it is:

The video has been nominated by PoliticsOnline and the World eDemocracy Forum for the 2009 "Top 10 Who Are Changing the World of Internet and Politics." It's going up against Twitter, Whitehouse.gov and Google – vote for it here!
