Calling for Peace - Using Social Media

Mohandas Gandhi – “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him… We need not wait to see what others do.”

A friend of mine, just this morning, passed along this video of a young Israeli father who is concerned about the growing tensions between his country and the State of Iran. Instead of sitting idly by waiting for something terrible to happen, Ronny decided to do something about it. A teacher and graphic artist, this forty-one year old is trying to make a difference and use social media to bring about peace.  This is compelling video and deserves to be seen by all the peoples of the earth.

The citizens of the nations do not start wars. It is the politicians, the bureaucrats, the dictators of the world and their craving for power and domination who initiate the great conflicts among the nations. Most of us, like Ronny, want to live in peace. I hope you will pass along this video to your friends and family around the globe.

Love One Another - Brian
