Chaim starts out by describing how in Israel, every street sign is in Hebrew, English and Arabic because Hebrew and Arabic are both official languages of the country and English is the international language that most visitors will be able to use. He then points out that he’s filming this video in a Bedouin tent and the rockets that Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations are firing at Israel don’t ask if the people they kill, maim and wound are Jews, Arabs, Druze, or whatever.
Chaim says that this war needs to stop, but a nation state must protect and defend its citizens, and Israel is doing that with God’s help. In this context he quotes Psalms 34:17-18; The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Chaim says that he is clinging to this verse as this war drags on and the tragedies keep coming. He points out that he and his comrades have been trying to find hostages alive but in the last 24 hours, the remains of 6 hostages who died in captivity were recovered in Khan Yunis.
He also mentions that he is glad to be a part of the Ya’alom combat engineering unit that gets to demolish terror tunnels. He says that in Khan Yunis and elsewhere they have had the opportunity recently to do that, demolishing some very large and serious tunnels.
Chaim then speaks about these six hostages whose remains were recovered, telling his viewers their names and a little bit about them.
He then switches his focus to talk about Iran and the threats they are making against Israel. He says that after the prayer meetings that were held at the Aliyah Return Center and many other places on Tisha B’Av, there was natural disasters in Syria, Lebanon and Yemen which made it more difficult for Israel’s enemies to strike. This made Chaim feel like everything will be okay.
He also mentions the ongoing negotiations to bring about a cease-fire in Gaza and release the remaining Israeli hostages. Chaim doesn’t think that this will have the desired result.
He also mentions that Hezbollah remains poised to strike Israel, but Israel is prepared and will do what it must to defend its people, with faith in God and the prophetic promises of a better future.
The video ends with a demonstration of some of the ways that supporters of the Aliyah Return Center are helping to care for the people of Israel, both new immigrants and veteran Israelis.
