Connections! JR Face 2 Face

French artist JR decided he wanted to do something about the hatred that existed at the Israeli and Palestinian border.

Here is a video explaining what he did about it and why:

The amazing thing is that he is able to connect people who view themselves as very different. Some people who may have been raised to dislike each other are now connected and inseparable. TAKE THAT HATRED! I feel that adding in humor to this situation by asking the participants to make silly faces is a genius way to diffuse the situation and allow them to see each other as human beings.
