Israel and Iran

                   

  Ronny Edry, Israeli graphic designer, had an idea when everything seemed to indicate that his country would begin –finally– a war with Iran. He had heard a commentary that day: ten thousand missiles could fall near his home at any time. He reacted: put a photo in Facebook. It shows him, with his daughter in hands, while she has an Israeli flag; Iranians, we will never bomb your country, we love you, it’s read under the image. The phenomena began there. That same night he had his inbox full of messages, people from Iran included, a number of histories from people crying when seeing the picture. It was the rise and never stops. He created a website (Israel-Loves-Iran) that has about one hundred thousand followers and millions of visitors within weeks, from both countries and places around the world. Reaction from the other side didn’t delay. It was created a similar internet page: Iran-Loves-Israel. Two groups that face the violence that it’s decided by some of their governments. Persons that decided to abandon ridiculous ideas from the past. There are no specific norms in that, Nelson Mandela said once, but love is the most important.
