I am very glad to hear this!

Who do you think is behind this and what do you think their agenda is?

Peace-minded Israeli reaches out to everyday Iranians via Facebook

"My idea was simple, I was trying to reach the other side. There are all these talks about war, Iran is coming to bomb us and we bomb them back, we are sitting and waiting. I wanted to say the simple words that this war is crazy," said Edry.

Using his graphic design skills and his wife's help (she is also a graphic designer), he plastered memes over pictures of himself, his wife, his friends and his neighbors. He then posted them on the Facebook page of Pushpin Mehina, his small design school, with a resounding message:

IRANIANS

we will never bomb your country

We *Heart* You.

The response, said Edry, was overwhelming. "In a few hours, I had hundreds of shares and thousands of likes and it was like something was happening.

"I think it's really amazing that someone from Iran poked me and said 'Hello, I'm from Iran, I saw your "poster" on Facebook,' " Edry said.

Seems like a pathetic turnout to me.

And what about the Palestinians?

Turnout seems a little disappointing doesn't it?

"I missed the small demonstration – around 1,000 people – against the strike on Iran yesterday, but one thing that caught my eye this morning were a couple of pictures of signs denouncing AIPAC that friends shared on Facebook. It seems that more Israelis are becoming aware that AIPAC is not simply a “pro-Israel” lobby, but a rightwing group that defends the settlement policy and is currently pushing for war with Iran."

And what's the symbol on that other guy's red shirt?

Try to keep up.

It's good that the message is finally getting out.

In recent weeks we’ve witnessed a “virtual love offensive” Involving Israelis and Iranians. We all took pleasure in the expressions of love directed at us, while trying to convince ourselves we have no real enemy in Iran. We sank into sweet dreams and started planning our trips to Iran, while waiting for Iranians to arrive in Israel so they can be amazed by Zionism’s achievements and our willingness to seek peace and fraternity.

<snip>

As opposed to what we’re trying to convince ourselves of, the vast majority of Iranians still supports the Ayatollah regime, believes its statements and views us as the source of evil in the world. Indeed, at this time Iran is the globe’s greatest center of anti-Semitism, with propaganda materials against Israel and Judaism regularly
disseminated there.

We should not forget that Iran’s nuclear program enjoyed its greatest momentum during the tenure of the previous president, Khatami, who was considered a “moderate” and great “reformer” in Iranian standards, yet was no different than Ahmadinejad in his hatred to Jews and made his feelings known frequently.

The answer to the above questions is “no,” of course. Nuclear arms in the hands of Iran’s mad, radical regime, which wants to exterminate us as a matter of ideology, are a grave danger and should be prevented at any price. I am willing to strike in Iran, as long as no harm comes to my young daughter, and I have no pangs of conscience over this. I’m following the basic instinct of every living thing.

"Nearly three weeks after two Tel Aviv graphic designers launched an online anti-war with Iran campaign that caught the attention of the worldwide media, they have managed to raise over $27,000 to take the campaign to what they say is the next level.

A few days after the campaign went viral, Ronny Edri, 41, and his partner Michal Tamir, 35, opened an account on the “crowd-sourcing” website Indiegogo, where they asked for help reaching a goal of $7,500 by May 4 in order “to produce more posters and keep the movement (growing).”

By Thursday, the campaign had raised $27,151 from 640 donors, including a donation of $5,000 from Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary, according to Indiegogo.

According to a sales representative at a Tel Aviv-based printing house, NIS 1,600 will buy 1,000 posters (100 cm. by 70 cm.), meaning that so far the campaign has raised funds to outfit approximately 63,000 supporters."

Is it something you yourself would consider contributing to?

Probably saved the world.
