From the Ted Talk by Ronny Edry: Israel and Iran A love story?

Unscramble the Blue Letters


And we rceiveed Israeli posters, Israeli iegmas, but also lots of comments, lots of messages from Iran. And we took these messages and we made posters out of it, because I know people: They don't read, they see images. If it's an image, they may read it.

So here are a few of them.

("You are my first Israelian friend. I wish we both get rid of our idiot politicians, anyway nice to see you!")

("I love that blue. I love that star. I love that flag.") This one is really mvniog for me because it's the sorty of a girl who has been raised in Iran to walk on an ialesri flag to etner her school every mrniong, and now that she sees the posters that we're sending, she starts — she said that she chanegd her mind, and now she loves that blue, she lveos that star, and she loves that flag, talking about the Israeli flag, and she wished that we'd meet and come to visit one another, and just a few days after I posted the first poster.

Original Text


And we received Israeli posters, Israeli images, but also lots of comments, lots of messages from Iran. And we took these messages and we made posters out of it, because I know people: They don't read, they see images. If it's an image, they may read it.

So here are a few of them.

("You are my first Israelian friend. I wish we both get rid of our idiot politicians, anyway nice to see you!")

("I love that blue. I love that star. I love that flag.") This one is really moving for me because it's the story of a girl who has been raised in Iran to walk on an Israeli flag to enter her school every morning, and now that she sees the posters that we're sending, she starts — she said that she changed her mind, and now she loves that blue, she loves that star, and she loves that flag, talking about the Israeli flag, and she wished that we'd meet and come to visit one another, and just a few days after I posted the first poster.
