Day 356 Swords of Iron – “It’s natural to defend your country from annihilation”
Chaim starts by saying he’s in Rafah, in southern Gaza, and he’s with another soldier who speaks English because he’s a dual citizen of Israel and another English speaking country. Chaim asks him why he’s here fighting in the IDF, since he has the option of using his passport from this other country to avoid it.
Day 355 Swords of Iron – “IDF Calls up Battalions”
Chaim starts the video by saying that he finds it absurd that anyone would call Israel a “warmonger” country because we definitely don’t want wars but if they come to us we would rather win them than lose them. Chaim also says that he has children and a job and all kinds of other things that he has to be away from when he gets called up to be in the IDF reserves. All the other reservists also have other things they’d rather be doing, but the war that was imposed on Israel has forced them to leave all that and fight in the Army.
