NOT READY TO DIE IN YOUR WAR
“NOT READY TO DIE IN YOUR WAR”
On August 2012, while the voice and calls of war became louder and louder, Ronny Edry and Michal Tamir uploaded a new poster with a new message:
We are millions of people who will be hurt. Will be drafted, will have to fight, lose our lives, our relatives. We, parents from Tel Aviv and Teheran, will have to run with our children to the shelters and pray the missiles will miss us. But they will fall somewhere, on someone. Those last few days the sound of war is becoming louder. So once again, load and clear, we are saying – NO to this war, We are saying to the people of Iran: We Love You”
ONCE AGAIN, WITHIN HOURS
The page received thousands of Likes and supporting comments. Hundreds of people from all over the world started sending their pictures with the same message.
In the first campaign, Iranians living in Iran were afraid to reveal themselves.
Not this time!
They posted their photos with this same loving message,
confidently facing the camera, stating their names, and even the city they live in.
I was born in Mosul, Iraq.
When i was 7 we left. At that time you could just take a plane from Mosul to TelAviv…. now it’s different.
We left everything behind, but the few things we could take with us on the plane.
For a while, we lived in an immigrant camp, in tents, until we moved to TelAviv.
Since then, I live here in the apartment upstairs. I like it, sitting in the sun, in the afternoon. It’s the best medicine.

PEACE it’s VIRAL
PEACE starts with the people, one person at a time. Today it’s easier than ever to connect and reach out to one another. We can talk, we can meet, and we can start a new friendship without even leaving our homes just by the click of a button. One new person, One new connection. Peace is when we see and treat each other as people. All we have to do is talk.
