TED video

The video I have chosen is Israel loves Iran. In this video a graphic designer named Ronny Edry from Israel talks about the animosity between the states of Israel and Iran. He goes on to show how he created a poster with a picture of him and the writing "Israel loves Iran." This then resulted in people around the world viewing his poster and message via social networking sites such as facebook. People then started to take pictures of themselves and turn them into posters around the world in support of Ronny's message showing their anti-war views. Ronny also goes on to highlight some messages he had received from some Iranians with one woman going as far to say that she was overwhelmed and broke down into tears. I chose this video as it concerns a topic that is both controversial and interesting to me and I found it inspiring that one man can start an entire movement just with the creation of one poster. I also hope that his message reaches both the governments of Israel and Iran as well as other countries around the world so any further conflict can be avoided.
