Kad karš starp Izraēlu un Irānu šķita neizbēgams, izraēliešu grafiskais dizaineris Ronijs Edrijs publicēja plakātu Facebook ar sevi un savu meitu, un drosmīgu ziņojumu: „Irāņi... mēs jūs ♥." Citi izraēlieši nekavējoties izveidoja paši savus plakātus ar tādu pašu ziņu un irāņi atbildēja ar to pašu. Šī vienkāršā komunikācija iedvesmoja pārsteidzošu domubiedru grupu izveidošanos Facebook kā „Izraēla mīl Irānu”, „Irāna mīl Izraēlu” un pat „Palestīna mīl Izraēlu”.

Šī gada 14. martā
00:19
I posted this poster on Facebook.
1
3418
2880
es Facebook publicēju šo plakātu.
00:22
This is an image of me and my daughter
2
6298
2425
Tas ir attēls ar mani un manu meitu,
00:24
holding the Israeli flag.
3
8723
2734
kura tur Izraēlas karogu.
00:27
I will try to explain to you about the context of why
4
11503
3039
Centīšos jums izskaidrot iemeslu, kāpēc un
00:30
and when I posted.
5
14542
2606
kad es šo plakātu publicēju.
00:33
A few days ago, I was sitting waiting
6
17148
3121
Pirms pāris dienām es stāvēju
00:36
on the line at the grocery store,
7
20269
2304
rindā pārtikas veikalā
00:38
and the owner and one of the clients
8
22573
3286
un īpašnieks runāja ar
00:41
were talking to each other,
9
25859
1690
vienu no klientiem.
00:43
and the owner was explaining to the client
10
27549
2058
Īpašnieks skaidroja klientam,
00:45
that we're going to get 10,000 missiles on Israel.
11
29607
3476
ka mēs plānojam uz Izraēlu raidīt 10 000 raķetes.
00:48
And the client was saying, no, it's 10,000 a day.
12
33083
4713
Bet klients teica, nē, 10 000 vienā dienā.
00:53
(Laughter)
13
37796
2661
(Smiekli)
00:56
("10,000 missiles") This is the context. This is where we are now in Israel.
14
40457
5001
(„10 000 raķetes”) Šis ir iemesls. Šādā situācijā mēs šobrīd Izraēlā atrodamies.
01:01
We have this war with Iran coming for 10 years now,
15
45458
3588
Karš ar Irānu mums briest jau 10 gadus
01:04
and we have people, you know, afraid.
16
49046
3375
un, kā jūs saprotat, cilvēki ir nobijušies.
01:08
It's like every year it's the last minute
17
52421
3563
Ir tā it kā katrs gads būtu pēdējā minūte,
01:11
that we can do something about the war with Iran.
18
55984
2475
kad mēs varētu kaut ko darīt lietas labā.
01:14
It's like, if we don't act now, it's too late forever,
19
58459
3672
Mums liekas, ka, ja mēs nerīkosimies tagad, tad būs par vēlu,
01:18
for 10 years now.
20
62131
2252
un tā mēs domājam jau 10 gadus.
01:20
So at some point it became, you know, to me,
21
64383
2397
Tad vienā brīdī es sapratu, ka ir jārīkojas.
01:22
I'm a graphic designer, so I made posters about it
22
66780
3050
Es esmu grafiskais dizaineris, tāpēc es par to izveidoju
01:25
and I posted the one I just showed you before.
23
69830
3975
tikko rādīto plakātu un to publicēju.
01:29
Most of the time, I make posters, I post them on Facebook,
24
73805
3062
Lielāko daļu laika es veidoju plakātus, publicēju tos Facebook,
01:32
my friends like it, don't like it,
25
76867
1657
maniem draugiem tie patīk vai nepatīk,
01:34
most of the time don't like it, don't share it,
26
78524
1731
lielākoties viņiem nepatīk un viņi ar tiem nedalās,
01:36
don't nothing,
27
80255
2223
nekas nenotiek
01:38
and it's another day.
28
82478
1993
un pienāk nākamā diena.
01:40
So I went to sleep, and that was it for me.
29
84471
3952
Tā nu es devos gulēt un man likās, ka tas ir viss.
01:44
And later on in the night, I woke up
30
88423
2916
Vēlāk naktī es pamodos, jo es
01:47
because I'm always waking up in the night,
31
91339
1833
vienmēr naktī pamostos,
01:49
and I went by the computer and I see all these red dots,
32
93172
2575
devos pie sava datora un ieraudzīju tos daudzos sarkanos punktiņus,
01:51
you know, on Facebook, which I've never seen before.
33
95747
3152
kurus es Facebook nekad nebiju redzējis.
01:54
(Laughter)
34
98899
1083
(Smiekli)
01:55
And I was like, "What's going on?"
35
99982
2337
„Kas notiek?” es nodomāju.
01:58
So I come to the computer and I start looking on,
36
102319
3504
Tā nu es piesēdos pie datora un sāku skatīties
02:01
and suddenly I see many people talking to me,
37
105823
3025
un ieraugu, ka daudzi cilvēki man raksta.
02:04
most of them I don't know,
38
108848
2363
Lielāko daļu no viņiem es nepazīstu
02:07
and a few of them from Iran,
39
111211
2585
un daži no tiem ir no Irānas,
02:09
which is -- What?
40
113796
3481
kas man lika domāt — ko?
02:13
Because you have to understand,
41
117277
2617
Jums ir jāsaprot, ka
02:15
in Israel we don't talk with people from Iran.
42
119894
3654
Izraēlā mēs nerunājam ar cilvēkiem no Irānas.
02:19
We don't know people from Iran.
43
123548
1970
Mēs nepazīstam cilvēkus no Irānas.
02:21
It's like, on Facebook, you have friends only from --
44
125518
4365
Ir tā, ka Facebook tev ir tikai draugi no,
02:25
it's like your neighbors are your friends on Facebook.
45
129883
3454
tavi draugi Facebook ir tavi kaimiņi.
02:29
And now people from Iran are talking to me.
46
133337
2737
Bet tagad ar mani runā cilvēki no Irānas.
02:31
So I start answering this girl, and she's telling me
47
136074
3509
Tā nu es sāku runāt ar kādu meiteni un viņa man stāsta,
02:35
she saw the poster and she asked her family to come,
48
139583
4860
ka ieraudzījusi plakātu un pasaukusi visu savu ģimeni,
02:40
because they don't have a computer, she asked her family
49
144443
1616
jo viņiem nav dators, bet viņa ir uzaicinājusi visu ģimeni
02:41
to come to see the poster, and they're all sitting in the living room crying.
50
146059
4548
atnākt apskatīt plakātu un viņi visi esot sēdējuši viesistabā un raudājuši.
02:46
So I'm like, whoa.
51
150607
1682
Tā nu es domāju, oho.
02:48
I ask my wife to come, and I tell her, you have to see that.
52
152289
3418
Es pasaucu savu sievu un teicu, ka viņai tas ir jāredz.
02:51
People are crying, and she came, she read the text,
53
155707
3049
Cilvēki raudāja, un viņa atnāca, izlasīja vēstuli
02:54
and she started to cry.
54
158756
2700
un arī sāka raudāt.
02:57
And everybody's crying now. (Laughter)
55
161456
2638
Nu visi raud. (Smiekli)
02:59
So I don't know what to do, so my first reflex,
56
164094
2800
Es nezināju, ko tālāk iesākt, bet mans pirmais reflekss
03:02
as a graphic designer, is, you know, to show everybody
57
166894
3314
kā grafiskajam dizainerim bija parādīt visiem
03:06
what I'd just seen, and people started to see them
58
170208
3698
to, ko tikko biju redzējis un cilvēki sāka to pamanīt
03:09
and to share them, and that's how it started.
59
173906
2600
un dalīties ar citiem un tā tas arī viss sākās.
03:12
The day after, when really it became a lot of talking,
60
176506
3739
Dienu vēlāk, kad sākās liela runāšana,
03:16
I said to myself, and my wife said to me,
61
180245
2223
es teicu sev un sieva teica man,
03:18
I also want a poster,
62
182468
1266
es arī gribu plakātu.
03:19
so this is her. (Laughter)
63
183734
3462
Te nu viņa ir. (Smiekli)
03:23
Because it's working, put me in a poster now.
64
187196
4982
Tā kā tas strādā, uztaisi plakātu ar mani!
03:28
But more seriously, I was like, okay, these ones work,
65
192178
3110
Tomēr, runājot nopietni, es domāju, labi, šie plakāti strādā,
03:31
but it's not just about me, it's about people from Israel
66
195288
3298
bet runa nav tikai par mani, bet gan par visiem izraēliešiem,
03:34
who want to say something.
67
198586
903
kas vēlas kaut ko teikt.
03:35
So I'm going to shoot all the people I know, if they want,
68
199489
2837
Tad nu es fotografēšu visus cilvēkus, kurus pazīstu, ja viņi to vēlēsies
03:38
and I'm going to put them in a poster and I'm going to share them.
69
202326
2088
un es izveidošu plakātus un tos publicēšu.
03:40
So I went to my neighbors and friends and students
70
204414
3682
Es devos pie saviem kaimiņiem, draugiem un studentiem
03:43
and I just asked them, give me a picture, I will make you a poster.
71
208096
4091
un lūdzu, lai viņi man iedod fotogrāfiju un es izveidošu plakātu.
03:48
And that's how it started. And that's how, really,
72
212187
2897
Un tā tas arī sākās. Tā tas viss tiešām
03:50
it's unleashed, because suddenly people
73
215084
3413
izplatījās, tāpēc, ka pēkšņi cilvēki
03:54
from Facebook, friends and others,
74
218497
2450
Facebook, draugi un citi
03:56
just understand that they can be part of it.
75
220947
2957
saprata, ka var būt daļa no tā.
03:59
It's not just one dude making one poster,
76
223904
1734
Tas nav tikai viens čalis, kas uztaisījis vienu plakātu.
04:01
it's -- we can be part of it, so they start sending me pictures
77
225638
3513
Cilvēki saprata, ka var būt daļa no tā un sāka man sūtīt fotogrāfijas
04:05
and ask me, "Make me a poster. Post it.
78
229151
2376
un lūdza man: „Uztaisi plakātu. Publicē to.
04:07
Tell the Iranians we from Israel love you too."
79
231527
4634
Pasaki irāņiem, ka arī mēs no Izraēlas viņus mīlam.”
04:12
It became, you know, at some point it was really, really intense.
80
236161
3368
Vienubrīd tas kļuva ļoti, ļoti saspringti.
04:15
I mean, so many pictures, so I asked friends
81
239529
4315
Bija tik daudz bildes, tāpēc es lūdzu draugiem,
04:19
to come, graphic designers most of them,
82
243844
3123
lielākoties grafiskajiem dizaineriem, nākt
04:22
to make posters with me, because I didn't have the time.
83
246967
2603
un palīdzēt man taisīt plakātus, tāpēc, ka man nepietika laika.
04:25
It was a huge amount of pictures.
84
249570
2656
Tas bija milzīgs bilžu daudzums.
04:28
So for a few days, that's how my living room was.
85
252226
3395
Dažas dienas mana dzīvojamā istaba izskatījās šādi.
04:31
And we received Israeli posters, Israeli images,
86
255621
4523
Mēs saņēmām ne tikai plakātus un bildes no izraēliešiem,
04:36
but also lots of comments, lots of messages from Iran.
87
260144
4686
bet arī daudzus komentārus un vēstules no Irānas.
04:40
And we took these messages and we made posters out of it,
88
264830
3682
Mēs paņēmām šīs vēstules un izveidojām plakātus,
04:44
because I know people: They don't read, they see images.
89
268512
3465
jo es pazīstu cilvēkus: viņi nelasa, viņi redz attēlus.
04:47
If it's an image, they may read it.
90
271977
2976
Ja tas ir attēls, to iespējams izlasīs.
04:50
So here are a few of them.
91
274953
2717
Lūk, daži no tiem.
04:53
("You are my first Israelian friend. I wish we both get rid of our idiot politicians, anyway nice to see you!")
92
277670
2273
(„Tu esi mans pirmais izraēliešu draugs. Es vēlos, lai mēs abi tiktu vaļā no mūsu stulbajiem politiķiem, lai nu kā, ir jauki tevi redzēt!”)
04:55
("I love that blue. I love that star. I love that flag.") This one is really moving for me because it's the story
93
279943
3536
(„Es mīlo šo zilo krāsu. Es mīlu šo zvaigzni. Es mīlu šo karogu.”) Tas mani ļoti aizkustināja, jo tas ir stāsts
04:59
of a girl who has been raised in Iran
94
283479
3814
par meiteni, kas uzaugusi Irānā
05:03
to walk on an Israeli flag to enter her school every morning,
95
287293
5278
un katru dienu, lai ieietu skolā, viņai vajadzēja iet pāri Izraēlas karogam,
05:08
and now that she sees the posters that we're sending,
96
292571
3331
un nu, kad viņa esot ieraudzījusi plakātus, kurus taisām,
05:11
she starts -- she said that she changed her mind,
97
295902
2675
viņa teica, ka ir pārdomājusi
05:14
and now she loves that blue, she loves that star,
98
298577
3341
un nu mīl šo zilo krāsu, šīs zvaigznes
05:17
and she loves that flag, talking about the Israeli flag,
99
301918
2335
un viņa mīl šo Izraēlas karogu,
05:20
and she wished that we'd meet and come to visit one another,
100
304253
3820
un viņa vēlējās, kaut mēs varētu satikties un doties viens otru apciemot.
05:23
and just a few days after I posted the first poster.
101
308073
5083
Tas viss notika tikai dažas dienas pēc pirmā plakāta publicēšanas.
05:29
The day after,
102
313156
2612
Dienu vēlāk
05:31
Iranians started to respond with their own posters.
103
315768
2717
irāņi sāka atbildēt ar paši saviem plakātiem.
05:34
They have graphic designers. What? (Laughter)
104
318485
3426
Viņiem ir grafiskie dizaineri. Ko? (Smiekli)
05:37
Crazy, crazy.
105
321911
2342
Traki, traki.
05:40
So you can see they are still shy, they don't want to show their faces,
106
324253
3525
Šeit jūs varat redzēt, ka viņi vēl joprojām kautrējas, viņi negrib rādīt savas sejas,
05:43
but they want to spread the message.
107
327778
1572
bet viņi vēlas izplatīt šo vēsti.
05:45
They want to respond. They want to say the same thing.
108
329350
2136
Viņi vēlas atbildēt. Viņi vēlas teikt to pašu, ko mēs.
05:47
So. And now it's communication.
109
331486
3105
Tā. Tagad tā ir komunikācija.
05:50
It's a two-way story. It's Israelis and Iranians
110
334591
3426
Tas ir divvirzienu stāsts. tie ir izraēlieši un irāņi,
05:53
sending the same message, one to each other.
111
338017
2656
kas sūta vienu un to pašu ziņu viens otram.
05:56
("My Israeli Friends. I don't hate you. I don't want War.")
112
340673
1678
(„Mani izraēliešu draugi. Es jūs neienīstu. Es negribu karu.”)
05:58
This never happened before, and this is two people
113
342351
4160
Tas nekad nebija noticis un tie ir divi cilvēki,
06:02
supposed to be enemies, we're on the verge of a war,
114
346511
2917
kam būtu jābūt ienaidniekiem, mēs esam uz kara sliekšņa,
06:05
and suddenly people on Facebook are starting to say,
115
349428
2619
bet pēkšņi cilvēki Facebook sāk teikt:
06:07
"I like this guy. I love those guys."
116
352047
4151
„Man patīk šis puisis. Es mīlu tos cilvēkus.”
06:12
And it became really big at some point.
117
356198
4438
Vienubrīd tas kļuva par ļoti lielu notikumu.
06:16
And then it became news.
118
360636
3312
Tad tas nokļuva ziņās.
06:19
Because when you're seeing the Middle East, you see only the bad news.
119
363948
4200
Tāpēc, ka tad, kad redzat Tuvos Austrumus, jūs redzat tikai sliktās ziņas.
06:24
And suddenly, there is something that was happening
120
368148
2299
Taču pēkšņi notiek kas tāds,
06:26
that was good news. So the guys on the news,
121
370447
2826
kas ir labas ziņas. Tad tie, kas strādā ziņu kanālos,
06:29
they say, "Okay, let's talk about this."
122
373273
1688
saka: „Labi, pastāstīsim par to.”
06:30
And they just came, and it was so much,
123
374961
3199
Un tad viņi vienkārši ieradās un tas bija tik daudz,
06:34
I remember one day, Michal,
124
378160
2439
es atceros vienu dienu Mihala
06:36
she was talking with the journalist, and she was asking him,
125
380599
2800
runāja ar žurnālistu un viņa jautāja:
06:39
"Who's gonna see the show?"And he said, "Everybody."
126
383399
4058
„Kurš to redzēs?” „Visi,” viņš atbildēja.
06:43
So she said, "Everybody in Palestine, in where? Israel?
127
387457
5497
Tad viņa teica: „Visi Palestīnā, kur? Izraēlā?
06:48
Who is everybody?""Everybody."
128
392954
2916
Kas ir visi?” „Visi.”
06:51
They said, "Syria?" "Syria."
129
395870
1614
„Sīrijā?” viņa prasīja. "Sīrijā."
06:53
"Lebanon?""Lebanon."
130
397484
1740
„Libānā?” „Libānā.”
06:55
At some point, he just said, "40 million people are going to see you today.
131
399224
3971
Vienubrīd viņš vienkārši teica: „Tevi šodien redzēs 40 miljoni cilvēku.
06:59
It's everybody." The Chinese.
132
403195
2712
Tie ir visi.” Arī ķīnieši.
07:01
And we were just at the beginning of the story.
133
405907
5626
Mēs bijām tikai stāsta pašā sākumā.
07:07
Something crazy also happened.
134
411533
2082
Notika arī kas neticams.
07:09
Every time a country started talking about it,
135
413615
3188
Katru reizi, kad kāda valsts par to sāka runāt,
07:12
like Germany, America, wherever,
136
416803
3269
piemēram, Vācija, Amerika un citas,
07:15
a page on Facebook popped up with the same logo
137
420072
5428
uzradās jauna lapa Facebook ar tādu pašu logo
07:21
with the same stories, so at the beginning
138
425500
1757
un tādiem pašiem stāstiem. Tātad sākumā
07:23
we had "Iran-Loves-Israel," which is an Iranian
139
427257
3815
mums bija "Irāna-mīl-Izraēlu," kas ir irānis,
07:26
sitting in Tehran, saying, "Okay, Israel loves Iran?
140
431072
5078
kas sēž Teherānā un saka: „Labi, Izraēla mīl Irānu?
07:32
I give you Iran-Loves-Israel."
141
436150
1910
Es jums dodu Irāna-mīl-Izraēlu.”
07:33
You have Palestine-Loves-Israel.
142
438060
1602
Mums ir Palestīna-mīl-Izraēlu.
07:35
You have Lebanon that just -- a few days ago.
143
439662
2628
Mums ir Libāna, kas pievienojās pirms pāris dienām.
07:38
And this whole list of pages on Facebook
144
442290
3468
Šis viss saraksts ar lapām Facebook
07:41
dedicated to the same message,
145
445758
2100
ir veltītas vienam ziņojumam,
07:43
to people sending their love, one to each other.
146
447858
5837
cilvēkiem, kas sūta savu mīlestību viens otram.
07:49
The moment I really understood that something was happening,
147
453695
3696
Brīdis, kad es tiešām sapratu, ka kaut kas notiek,
07:53
a friend of mine told me,
148
457391
2450
bija, kad mans draugs man teica:
07:55
"Google the word 'Israel.'"
149
459841
2002
„Ieraksti Google vārdu 'Izraēla'.”
07:57
And those were the first images on those days
150
461843
3707
Tajās dienās tie bija pirmie attēli,
08:01
that popped up from Google
151
465550
2279
kas parādījās Google,
08:03
when you were typing, "Israel" or "Iran."
152
467829
3606
kad ierakstījāt vārdus „Izraēla” vai „Irāna”.
08:07
We really changed how people see the Middle East.
153
471435
4314
Mēs tiešām mainījām to, kā cilvēki redz Tuvos Austrumus.
08:11
Because you're not in the Middle East.
154
475749
1769
Tāpēc, ka jūs neesat Tuvajos Austrumos.
08:13
You're somewhere over there, and then you want to see the Middle East,
155
477518
2291
Jūs esat kaut kur tur tālumā un gribat redzēt Tuvos Austrumus,
08:15
so you go on Google and you say, "Israel,"
156
479809
1656
tāpēc ieejat Google un ierakstāt vārdu „Izraēla”,
08:17
and they give you the bad stuff.
157
481465
1209
un tur parādās viss sliktais.
08:18
And for a few days you got those images.
158
482674
4769
Taču dažas dienas varēja redzēt tos attēlus.
08:23
Today the Israel-Loves-Iran page
159
487443
2399
Šodien lapai Izraēla-mīl-Irānu
08:25
is this number, 80,831, and two million people last week
160
489842
5388
ir šis skaitlis — 80 831, un divi miljoni cilvēku pagājušajā nedēļā
08:31
went on the page and shared, liked, I don't know,
161
495230
2863
devās uz šo lapu un dalījās ar bildēm, spieda „patīk” un
08:33
commented on one of the photos.
162
498093
2592
un komentēja kādu no attēliem.
08:36
So for five months now, that's what we are doing,
163
500685
4508
Jau piecus mēnešus šis ir tas, ko mēs darām,
08:41
me, Michal, a few of my friends, are just making images.
164
505193
4750
es, Mihala un daži no maniem draugiem vienkārši veidojam attēlus.
08:45
We're showing a new reality
165
509943
2287
Mēs parādām jauno realitāti,
08:48
by just making images
166
512230
2203
vienkārši veidojot attēlus,
08:50
because that's how the world perceives us.
167
514433
2897
tāpēc, ka šādā veidā pasaule mūs uztver.
08:53
They see images of us, and they see bad images.
168
517330
2801
Viņi redz attēlus ar mums un viņi redz nepatīkamus attēlus.
08:56
So we're working on making good images. End of story.
169
520131
5051
Tāpēc mēs strādājam, lai izveidotu patīkamus attēlus. Punkts.
09:01
Look at this one. This is the Iran-Loves-Israel page.
170
525182
4915
Paskatieties uz šo. Šī ir lapa Irāna-mīl-Izraēlu.
09:05
This is not the Israel-Loves-Iran. This is not my page.
171
530097
2518
Šī nav Izraēla-mīl-Irānu. Šī nav mana lapa.
09:08
This is a guy in Tehran on the day of remembrance
172
532615
3779
Šis ir puisis Teherānā piemiņas dienā
09:12
of the Israeli fallen soldier
173
536394
2542
Izraēlas kritušajiem kareivjiem
09:14
putting an image of an Israeli soldier on his page.
174
538936
3963
un savā lapā ir ievietojis bildi ar izraēliešu kareivi.
09:18
This is the enemy.
175
542899
3391
Šis ir ienaidnieks.
09:22
What?
176
546290
1472
Ko?
09:23
("Our heartfelt condolences to the families who lost their dearests in terror attack in Bulgaria")
177
547762
2042
(„Visdziļākā mūsu līdzjūtība ģimenēm, kuras uzbrukumā Bulgārijā zaudēja savus mīļotos”)
09:25
And it's going both ways.
178
549804
1705
Tas notiek abpusēji.
09:27
It's like, we are showing respect, one to each other.
179
551509
4538
Tā it kā mēs izrādām cieņu viens otram.
09:31
And we're understanding. And you show compassion.
180
556047
4986
Mēs esam saprotoši. Mēs izrādām līdzjūtību.
09:36
And you become friends.
181
561033
4761
Un mēs kļūstam par draugiem.
09:41
And at some point, you become friends on Facebook,
182
565794
3227
Vienā brīdī jūs kļūstat par draugiem Facebook
09:44
and you become friends in life.
183
569021
1777
un tad jūs kļūstat par draugiem dzīvē.
09:46
You can go and travel and meet people.
184
570798
2816
Jūs varat ceļot un satikt cilvēkus.
09:49
And I was in Munich a few weeks ago.
185
573614
3378
Pirms pāris dienām es biju Minhenē.
09:52
I went there to open an exposition about Iran
186
576992
3827
Es tur devos, lai atklātu izstādi par Irānu
09:56
and I met there with people from the page
187
580819
2457
un tur es satiku cilvēkus no lapas,
09:59
that told me, "Okay, you're going to be in Europe,
188
583276
2306
kuri man teica: „Labi, ja būsi Eiropā,
10:01
I'm coming. I'm coming from France, from Holland,
189
585582
2604
es arī atbraukšu. Es atbraukšu no Francijas, Holandes,
10:04
from Germany," of course, and from Israel people came,
190
588186
2721
Vācijas”, protams, ieradās arī cilvēki no Izraēlas.
10:06
and we just met there for the first time in real life.
191
590907
4575
Mēs satikāmies pirmo reizi ārpus interneta.
10:11
I met with people that are supposed to be my enemies
192
595482
4517
Es pirmo reizi satiku cilvēkus, kam būtu jābūt
10:15
for the first time. And we just shake hands,
193
599999
2614
maniem ienaidniekiem. Mēs paspiedām rokas,
10:18
and have a coffee and a nice discussion,
194
602613
2003
iedzērām kafiju un jauki padiskutējām,
10:20
and we talk about food and basketball.
195
604616
2720
mēs parunājām par ēdieniem un basketbolu.
10:23
And that was the end of it.
196
607336
1738
Tās bija visam beigas.
10:24
Remember that image from the beginning?
197
609074
2754
Atceraties to attēlu, ko rādīju sākumā?
10:27
At some point we met in real life, and we became friends.
198
611828
8381
Pienāca brīdis, kad mēs satikāmies dzīvē un kļuvām par draugiem.
10:36
And it goes the other way around.
199
620209
2664
Tas notiek arī otrādi.
10:38
Some girl that we met on Facebook
200
622873
2793
Kāda meitene, kuru mēs satikām Facebook,
10:41
never been in Israel, born and raised in Iran,
201
625666
2910
nekad nebija bijusi Izraēlā, dzimusi un augusi Irānā,
10:44
lives in Germany, afraid of Israelis
202
628576
3558
dzīvo Vācijā un baidās no izraēļiem,
10:48
because of what she knows about us,
203
632134
2230
baidās no tā, ko viņa zina par mums,
10:50
decides after a few months of talking on the Internet
204
634364
3614
bet pēc dažu mēnešu sarunām Internetā
10:53
with some Israelis to come to Israel,
205
637978
3044
ar izraēļiem nolemj atbraukt uz Izraēlu,
10:56
and she gets on the plane and arrives at Ben Gurion
206
641022
4497
viņa iesēžas lidmašīnā un ierodas Ben Gurina lidostā
11:01
and says, "Okay, not that big a deal."
207
645519
6127
un saka: „Jā, nav tik traki.”
11:07
So a few weeks ago, the stress is getting higher,
208
651646
3587
Pirms dažām nedēļām spriedze saasinājās,
11:11
so we start this new campaign
209
655233
2473
tāpēc mēs uzsākām jaunu kampaņu,
11:13
called "Not ready to die in your war."
210
657706
3372
kuru sauc „Neesmu gatavs mirt jūsu karā”.
11:16
I mean, it's plus/minus the same message,
211
661078
2813
Tā vairāk vai mazāk ir tā pati ziņa,
11:19
but we wanted really to add some aggressivity to it.
212
663891
3674
bet mēs vēlējāmies tai piedot agresivitāti.
11:23
And again, something amazing happened,
213
667565
2951
Atkal notika kas pārsteidzošs,
11:26
something that we didn't have on the first wave of the campaign.
214
670516
3338
kaut kas, kas neparādījās kampaņas pirmajā posmā.
11:29
Now people from Iran, the same ones who were shy
215
673854
4270
Tagad cilvēki no Irānas, tie paši, kuri kautrējās
11:34
at the first campaign and just sent, you know,
216
678124
2105
pirmajā kampaņā un sūtīja bildes
11:36
their foot and half their faces,
217
680229
2188
ar viņu kājām vai pusi no sejas,
11:38
now they're sending their faces, and they're saying,
218
682417
2400
tagad sūtīja bildes ar savām sejām un teica:
11:40
"Okay, no problem, we're into it. We are with you."
219
684817
9065
„Labi, viss kārtība, mēs piedalāmies. Mēs esam ar jums.”
11:49
Just read where those guys are from.
220
693882
3520
Vienkārši izlasiet no kurienes šie cilvēki ir.
11:53
And for every guy from Israel,
221
697402
2315
Katram izraēlietim
11:55
you've got someone from Iran.
222
699717
3291
pretī ir kāds no Irānas.
12:06
Just people sending their pictures.
223
711084
2724
Vienkārši cilvēki, kuri sūta savas bildes.
12:27
Crazy, yes?
224
731131
2183
Neticami, vai ne?
12:29
So --
225
733314
1636
Tātad
12:30
(Applause)
226
734950
8342
(Aplausi)
12:40
So you may ask yourself, who is this dude?
227
744207
7397
Jūs varbūt sev jautājat, kas ir šis čalis?
12:47
My name is Ronny Edry, and I'm 41, I'm an Israeli,
228
751604
3654
Mani sauc Ronijs Edrijs, man ir 41 gads, esmu izraēlietis.
12:51
I'm a father of two, I'm a husband,
229
755258
4280
Es esmu divu bērnu tēvs, vīrs
12:55
and I'm a graphic designer. I'm teaching graphic design.
230
759538
4980
un grafiskais dizaineris. Es mācu grafisko dizainu.
13:00
And I'm not that naive, because a lot of the time
231
764518
3768
Es neesmu tik naivs, jo daudzas reizes
13:04
I've been asked, many times I've been asked, "Yeah, but,
232
768286
3383
man ir jautāts, daudzas reizes jautāts: „Jā, bet
13:07
this is really naive, sending flowers over, I mean — "
233
771669
3226
sūtīt ziedus uz otru pusi ir ļoti naivi. Saprotiet,
13:10
I was in the army. I was in the paratroopers for three years,
234
774895
4051
es biju armijā. Es trīs gadus biju gaisa flotē
13:14
and I know how it looks from the ground.
235
778946
3550
un es zinu, kā tas izskatās no zemes.
13:18
I know how it can look really bad.
236
782496
4326
Es zinu, kā tas var izskatīties ļoti slikti.
13:22
So to me, this is the courageous thing to do,
237
786822
4137
Man šī bija ļoti drosmīga rīcība
13:26
to try to reach the other side before it's too late,
238
790959
3439
sniegties uz otru pusi, kamēr tas vēl nav par vēlu,
13:30
because when it's going to be too late, it's going to be too late.
239
794398
1915
jo, kad būs par vēlu, tad būs par vēlu.
13:32
And sometimes war is inevitable, sometimes,
240
796313
4421
Dažreiz karš ir nenovēršams, dažreiz,
13:36
but maybe [with] effort, we can avoid it.
241
800734
4070
taču varbūt ar nelielu piepūli mēs no tā varam izvairīties.
13:40
Maybe as people, because especially in Israel,
242
804804
3355
Varbūt kā cilvēki, jo īpaši Izraēlā
13:44
we're in a democracy. We have the freedom of speech,
243
808159
3413
mums ir demokrātija. Mums ir runas brīvība,
13:47
and maybe that little thing can change something.
244
811572
3443
un varbūt tā nelielā lieta var ko mainīt.
13:50
And really, we can be our own ambassadors.
245
815015
4345
Un tiešām mēs paši varam būt vēstnieki.
13:55
We can just send a message and hope for the best.
246
819360
6736
Mēs varam vienkārši nodot vēstījumu un cerēt uz to labāko.
14:01
So I want to ask Michal, my wife, to come with me
247
826096
2342
Es gribu lūgt manu sievu Mihalu pievienoties
14:04
on the stage just to make with you one image,
248
828438
4780
man uz skatuves, lai nofotografētu bildi ar jums,
14:09
because it's all about images.
249
833218
2125
jo galvenais ir bildes.
14:11
And maybe that image will help us change something.
250
835343
4571
Varbūt šis attēls mums palīdzēs kaut ko mainīt.
14:15
Just raise that. Exactly.
251
839914
3507
Vienkārši paceliet to. Tieši tā.
14:19
And I'm just going to take a picture of it,
252
843421
2501
Es vienkārši uzņemšu fotogrāfiju
14:21
and I'm just going to post it on Facebook
253
845922
2802
un publicēšu to Facebook
14:24
with kind of "Israelis for peace" or something.
254
848724
5131
ar uzrakstu „Izraēla par mieru” vai ko tādu.
14:32
Oh my God.
255
856640
2510
Ak mans Dievs.
14:35
Don't cry.
256
859150
2362
Neraudi.
14:37
Thank you guys.
257
861512
1691
Paldies jums visiem.
14:39

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Ronny Edry - Graphic DesignerRonny Edry of Israel created The Peace Factory, an online movement for peace in the Middle East, when he posted a Facebook image that declared "Iranians, we will never bomb your country."
Why you should listen
Ronny Edry is a graphic designer, teacher and father. While he often posted images on Facebook without much fanfare, in March of 2012 one of his images garnered international attention. The image showed him with his daughter, along with the words “Iranians, we will never bomb your country. We heart you.” The image became a catalyst for dialogue between the people of two nations on the brink of war -- and started an online movement. Today, The Peace Factory is connecting people throughout the Middle East, giving them a voice and a face.
Edry grew up in Paris, France, and has lived in Israel since 1989. Along with his work on the Peace Factory, he is the owner and founder of Pushpin, a school for art and design in Tel Aviv. He himself graduated with honors from the BezIalel Academy of Art and Design, and he is a staff member teaching visual communication in design academies in Israel. He has received awards for his works as a graphic designer and is also an illustrator and author of graphic novels.
