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.

One evening recently, my mother asked me to wear something nice.
She said we were going to have company. I wondered what was so special about these guests..

A few minutes later, a man and his son arrived at our home.
The man explained that he and my father were good friends, and that he wanted to solidify that friendship through marriage.

I was shocked!
My parents never mentioned a word of this to me; I turned to my dad for help. My father always encouraged me to focus on my studies. It never occurred to me that he would want to marry me off at 19!
When the young man and his father requested that I quit my studies my father rejected the idea completely.
He did not think that his friend would be so closed-minded and ignorant.
I thank God everyday. My father has a PhD and wants me to pursue my own educational and career opportunities. What if he was not so educated? Where would I be? Perhaps barefoot and pregnant or married with two children, cooking, cleaning and baking bread all day long…

Today, I am a second-year university student majoring in English studies.

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.
