Founder, Iran-Loves-Israel campaign Majid Nowrouzi is a writer, blogger, human rights activist and architect from Iran who believes in peace, love and equality regardless of any religious view. He launched Iran Loves Israel initiative with his own message to the Israelis, "We love you, and we don't hate Israelis". It has since become a worldwide campaign. Later Majid promoted the campaign to the United Love (UL) to show to all parts of the world that we can love each other regardless of any nationality and religion. Majid was born in Iran in 1978 and spent his whole life in Iran, recently as President of GEG (construction company). In 2007 he and his wife, Tannaz Tavakkoli, left Iran to Malaysia to pursue their PhDs. Majid and Tannaz with their two daughters reside in United States of America and work as Design Engineers. To know about Majid as peace ambassador of URI read Majid's Talking about himself:

We lived through eight long years of bloodshed and war between Iran & Iraq, (the longest war in the 20th Century from September 1980 – August 1988), a war started for no clear reason, with millions killed on both sides that made Iranians SICK OF WAR! Thousands of mothers lost their children in this war. Thousands of children lost their fathers. More graveyards in Iran had to be built during the war. Nearly everyday for eight years, we heard the red sirens telling us that another bomb was coming! Yes, I am an Iranian, and when I talk about war I know, first hand, what war is and the results of war and hatred. Oh, my God, now another bloodshed war with no reason is coming. Not with Iraq, but with another neighbor country called Israel. This fear and dread of another war is our daily routine in Iran. The war between Iran and Iraq was started based on our government’s decisions (Saddam from Iraq) and was stopped by the government as well. We, as ordinary people, were not given a chance to know about the reasons for the war with Iraq, but still, we were routinely sent into battle to be killed. Even today, we still don't know the true reasons why they, the governments on both sides, started the war. But this time, as an Iranian, I want to know that WHY my land, Iran, is going to be involved with war with our neighbor. So, to the governments on BOTH sides we say, “Please just wait! Give us more time to get to know each other!” I started this campaign “Iran Loves Israel” to say, ‘we need to know each other before starting the war.’ We have a right to know WHY we should be killed in the coming war! Thousands of Iranians and Israelis are talking to each other now, getting to know each other and making friends. We found out that we have NO REASON to fight! If our governments want war, it's OK, but we are not ready to die in their war. We make coffee instead of war! We are our own ambassadors. I believe that we must have a reason to hate, but we don't need a reason to love! I have no reason to hate Israelis, and since I don't need a reason to love Israelis, I LOVE ISRAELIS. Once again loud and clear, ‘We are ready to live in peace! We are NOT ready to die in a ‘no-reason-bloody-war’ between two neighboring countries that are supposed to be friends and love each other! --SHAHRAM RHA (talk) 15:04, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
