Hundreds of Israelis march in Tel Aviv to protest war with Iran

Source: haaretz

Hundreds of Israelis marched in Tel Aviv on Saturday to protest against a possible Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

The protest came amid a recent Facebook campaign linking Israeli and Iranian citizens in their opposition to war between the two nations. Campaign leaders, however, made it clear on their Facebook page that they had nothing to do with the Tel Aviv protest march.

Last week, graphic designers Ronny Edry and his wife, Michal Tamir, unknowingly began a Facebook phenomenon when they uploaded a poster depicting Edry and his daughter with the words, "Iranians, we will never bomb your country, we you."

That one image sparked a movement of sorts, with hundreds, if not thousands, of images sent from Israel, Iran, and elsewhere in the world, in support of exposing what participants consider to be the human side of the conflict between Iran and Israel.

10. There are good people everywhere.

Unfortunately they are usually ignored or shouted down by the extremists on both sides.

2. Good luck, citizens of Israel...

Many times, the opinions of the citizens of the countries whose governments make these decisions are often ignored.

Millions in the United States protested the build up towards Iraq/Afghanistan, tens of millions worldwide followed suit.

Good luck, may calmer heads prevail...

Time to de-escalate this. Khamenei wants the world to think he's dangerous. And Bibi is playing to his extremist friends.

There's nothing there.

Its amazing how effective terror is when it comes to elections. Appeal to a person's sense of fear and you can do well (Netanyahu, Ahmadinejad, Bush, etc. etc. etc.)

11. "Iranians, we will never bomb your country, we you."

....if it were up to the people, most countries would get along with each other....

....it's always the 1% that want and gain from war....the vast majority of the 99% in most countries just want to live in peace....they understand that they are the ones made to suffer from war....

....win or lose, the 1% that starts, profits and maintains war, suffers not....they grow old and rich and receive heart transplants....
