From the Iran Primer: Israeli launches quirky anti-war campaign on Facebook
Israel and Iran may be nearing confrontation over Tehran’s disputed nuclear program, but Israeli graphic designer Ronnie Edry has launched a quirky campaign to build peace with the Iranian public. It’s logo is “We (heart) you.” It’s message, posted on Facebook and Youtube, is “Iranians, we will never bomb your country.” The sites quickly got thousands of hits – from Israelis and Iranians.
Launched on March 15, Edry’s multimedia initiative reaches out to all the fathers, mothers, children, brothers and sisters. He is bluntly anti-war:
I’m not an official representative of my country. I’m a father and a teacher. I know the streets of my town, I talk with my neighbors, my family, my students, my friends and in the name of all these people …we love you.
We mean you no harm.
On the contrary, we want to meet, have some coffee and talk about sports.
