Coming together again: What D-day teaches about Israel, Iran, and unity - opinion

Eighty-two years after D-Day, the article draws a stark parallel between the Allied victory in World War II and the contemporary global landscape, particularly concerning the confrontation with Iran. It argues that just as Winston Churchill recognized the evil of Hitler, US President Donald Trump identifies Iran as a danger not only to its own citizens but to the entire free world.

The author criticizes European nations, the United Kingdom, and Canada for their perceived failure to acknowledge the similarities between contemporary Iran and Nazi Germany. This inaction, described as a desire to remain "neutral," is seen as contributing to a "dangerous negativity toward Israel and the Jewish people." The piece questions why countries that united against Hitler are not similarly uniting against Iran, which it states openly expresses a desire to eliminate Israel, home to the world's largest Jewish population.

The article highlights the historical parallel of the Jewish people being a "whipping boy," first in Nazi Germany and now in Iran, with the only difference being the identity of the aggressor. It also points to the Gulf Cooperation Council nations, who have been attacked by Iran, noting that while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has compared Iran's regional expansion to Hitler's pre-war annexations, these countries have not responded militarily.

Finally, the piece reflects on the "coming together of Israel and the US in their fight against Iran," which began on February 28, and questions whether this union has widespread support among the American public. It references an article by Yaakov Katz that points to a growing lack of support for Israel within the United States.
