In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Israel Loves Iran” is a common card of the Memes World series 73, number 21842 of the collection, and the 239th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Israel Loves Iran” meme mean?

This meme expresses a deep desire for normalization of human relations beyond geopolitical conflicts. It highlights that cross-cultural affection is possible even when official rhetoric is hostile. The dominant emotion is hope and a call for fraternity, suggesting that direct dialogue between citizens can defuse institutional hatred.

Where does the “Israel Loves Iran” meme come from?

The initiative comes from Israeli graphic designers Ronny Edry and Michal Tamir. On March 14, 2012, Edry posted on Facebook an image showing him with his daughter holding an Israeli flag. The text read: "Iranians, we love you, we will never bomb your country." The campaign was initially called Israel Loves Iran. A opposing page named Iran Loves Israel appeared later as a direct response. The movement gained visibility through Edry's talk at TEDxJaffa on October 18, 2012. TED also published this conference under the title Israel and Iran: A love story? on December 21, 2012. Media outlets like NPR covered the story in late March 2012.
