Talks specifically about Israeli-Palestinian Conflict @ 5:30.
This video is fantastic for two reasons: Not only does it let us know how something like art could become common ground in times of hardship but also how important web media is in transferring these ideas. I particularly love his quote right at the end of the video (23:30) that says that "what we see changes who we are". And although maybe not 100% true, obviously in the case of those that are blind, it does contribute significantly for those that can. So if we are shown that Israel/Palestine is a horrible place with all of the destruction and rubble and fights taking place then that's all that it will ever be. Pasting those pictures throughout the cities shows that there are Israelis or Palestinians on the other side of the wall and allows them to see that there are two viewpoints to this conflict. This may help them to see that they need to find a middle ground somewhere if this conflict is to end.
Thanks for sharing the video man. It is really interesting.
