Israel’s ‘right’ to hit Iran goes viral

from The Times of Israel

A series of videos asserting that Israel is within its legal and moral rights to attack Iran have gone viral, and had been seen by over two million people as of Sunday. They were launched by the pro-Israeli activist group The Land of Israel.

The videos assert Israel’s obligation to protect its people from “a genocidal dictator.”

As of Sunday, the first of the videos, “Iran vs. Israel — Back to the future,” had been viewed about 1 million times since it was posted two weeks ago. The second, ”Iran vs. Israel — No fear,” posted late last week, had received over 1,650,000 views at the time of writing.

“Back to the future,” portrays Holocaust-era Jews, powerless and dejected, who tried to enter the United States on the USS St. Louis — but were forced to return to Nazi Germany. To a soundtrack of orchestrated music, American-born Jeremy Gimpel, one of the co-founders of the group, indirectly equates the gravity of the Iranian threat with that of the Holocaust.
