Dr. John Izzo at Hitler’s Balcony: What History Teaches Us About Israel, Gaza & Iran

As war rages in the Middle East, Dr. John Izzo, host of The Way Forward: Regenerative Conversations, stands in Vienna’s Heroes Plaza, where Hitler once spoke to 250,000 cheering Austrians in 1938. Reflecting on this dark moment in history, he draws haunting parallels to today’s violence in Israel, Gaza, and Iran.

With heartfelt honesty, he recalls his time on the West Bank and asks: Can we finally learn that violence will never end violence? Citing Gandhi, confronting antisemitism and othering, and offering a prayer for peace, Dr. Izzo calls on us all to stand for empathy, remembrance, and change.
