Many people use YouTube to get a message to a few friends or to try to educate the world. In comparison many other people just watch YouTube because it is obsessive.
What some people do not realise that if you put certain messages in videos on there - they can go viral.
This is just what happened to Tom Lahat of Iran. A man who posted a video homage of love and peace about regular people in Israel and Iran
He explains that he and many others do not feel hatred towards both countries and in fact are regular people just like everyone else in the world that wants to get on with their neighbour and does not feel hate towards anyone.
He posted the video on YouTube and since then it went viral. It has received over 650,000 hits and is continuing to escalate with similar messages coming back from inhabitants of both Israel and Iran.
The power of the Internet and YouTube show no boundaries in the world of global communication.
DEBATE
- Is YouTube a propaganda tool?
- Are there too many things to look at on YouTube
