Face 2 Face

"The Face2Face project is to make portraits of Palestinians and Israelis doing the same job and to post them face to face, in huge formats, in unavoidable places, on the Israeli and the Palestinian sides."

"In a very sensitive context, we need to be clear.
We are in favor of a solution for which two countries, Israel and Palestine would live peacefully within safe and internationally recognized borders."

Demonstration

Tonight another very small demonstration against the attack of Israel upon the Gaza Territories took place in Taksim in the Istiklal Street. They were carrying a small casket to represent the children killed during the attacks.

Demostration

Today as I walked toward the Turkcell Headquarter I saw those people near the Galatasaray H.S. demonstrating about the the attacks of Israel in Gaza.

























As I turned around the corner I saw a huge crowd walking toward me. Many union workers protesting against the raises, the international crises, their job and Israel. There seem to be a "big" support from Turkish people toward Palestinians, mainly because of the religious link. Even though Turkey is a big commercial and military partner of Israel they do not care for Israel's behavior in the Palestinian territories. Turkish PM Erdogan, French President Sarkozy and Spanish chief of Government Zapatero met in Egypt to try to find a solution. Turkish government wants to play an important part in the solving of the conflict.
