The Face2Face Project takes similar photographs of Palestinians and Israelis and displays them together in pairs.

Face2Face (JR and Marco are the guys who are behind this project) posted black-and-white giant portraits of people from Israel and Palestine to show that they are not so different after all.

Photographs of different sizes have been posted on the walls and in the cities. The pictures for the Palestinian territory went up on March 4, and the Palestinian side was completed March 7th.

According to http://www.face2faceproject.com/ timeline a book about the project will be released June, 2007. Documentary film is announced for September, 2007.

A quote:
"We then traveled across the Israeli and Palestinian cities without speaking much. Just looking to this world with amazement. ...

After a week, we had a conclusion with the same words: these people look the same; they speak almost the same language, like twin brothers raised in different families. ...

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.

All the bilateral peace projects (Clinton/Taba, Ayalon/Nussibeh, Geneva Accords) are converging in the same direction. We can be optimistic.

We hope that this project will contribute to a better understanding between Israelis and Palestinians.

Today, "Face to face" is necessary.
Within a few years, we will come back for "Hand in hand".
