Israel and Iran, A love story?

Watch this TED talk.  This is Ronny Edry.  In 2012, he decided to step up his social media game and took to Facebook explaining his ideas and thoughts on Iran.  Mr. Edry establishes the point that we are surrounded by negative perceptions of the Middle East.   Do you agree with him?  He also goes on to show how people are connecting with one another to break the media stereotypes.  Research/find some of these groups that break the media stereotypes and what are their stories?  Why do you think the news and media promote these ideas if they are not the views of the majority?  

Peace for Israel and Palestine?

This is an article I recently came across from YES magazine.  This is an interesting collection of organizations that are working towards peace in this contentious region.  Your task, research and take a look at one of the organizations and find out how legitimate they are.   Secondly, discuss why media organizations are not promoting more of these organizations.

Here is an example of an Entry:  

I took a took a look at AL-MEZAN CENTER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS.  It seems that it has not been updated for a while.   There is a banner on the front page that says "MOURNING" in black and white letters.   There is a link to an article from 2014 of a man who was killed by an IOF drone strike in July of 2014.   This seems to be the last update for the website and organization.   I am wondering why the man was targeted and the collateral damage that occurred with the water maintenance workers he was talking to.   I also wonder how often these attacks happen.     

Now, someone should build on the response.  Or start another comment strand....
