Day 253 Swords of Iron – Legitimate or Illegitimate?

Chaim starts the video by welcoming his viewers to the Middle East. He says that his family lives in the Galilee and has a front-row seat to the escalating attacks by Hezbollah. Chaim points out that this is an Iranian-backed and funded terrorist group firing weapons into civilian towns all over the north of Israel.

Chaim says that Hezbollah is allied with Hamas and several other Iranian-backed terrorist groups all over the Middle East who have attacked Israel in recent months, and now they’re opening the door to a much bigger direct conflict with Israel.

Chaim asks where the non-Hezbollah people of Lebanon stand in all this. Are they prepared to see their country utterly destroyed in a war with Israel? Do they support Hezbollah’s attacks against Israeli civilian communities?

If not, then Chaim says they need to do something to stop the Iranian-sponsored hijacking of their country.

Chaim says he’s tired of foolishness and he wants some grown-ups to step up and fix this absurd situation whereby Hezbollah is being allowed to fire rockets that target children like his with impunity. He asks why the UN isn’t forcing Hezbollah to adhere to Security Council Resolution 1701, which was meant to prevent a Third Lebanon War. Chaim asks, rhetorically, if Israel is going to have to enter Lebanon and do billions of dollars worth of damage to the country and its infrastructure in order to put a stop to the threats Hezbollah is being allowed to make against Israel, as well as the risk of devastation it is posing to Lebanon.

Chaim says that since Hezbollah has elected officials in the Lebanese parliament and has otherwise infiltrated the infrastructure of the state, the state of Lebanon shares responsibility for the attacks Hezbollah is carrying out against Israel. He concludes by forcefully reminding the people of Lebenon that they have to make a choice to either rise up and deal with Hezbollah, or he and the rest of the IDF will come into Lebanon and deal with them.

(Day 769) Swords of Iron – “Shift in Progress”

Chaim starts by saying he expects things to shift for the better in the Middle East. He expects the hearts and minds of people in Gaza to shift, as there are only three hostages remaining in the Strip and because of coordination between Israel and the US and others, over 800 trucks full of humanitarian aid are going into the Strip every day.

(Day 768) Swords of Iron – “Culmination, as we dismantle terror Infrastructure”

Chaim starts by pointing out that Veterans Day was just marked in the U.S. and he wonders aloud if people really understand what soldiers do and what they sacrifice and endure on battlefields. He then begins to list some of the work the IDF is doing in the current days, including after the ceasefire, finding and demolishing tunnels packed full of weapons and ammunition that Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon intended to use against Israel.

(Day 766) Swords of Iron – “Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, laid to rest with our ancestors”

Chaim starts by letting his viewers know he’s filming from the funeral of Har Goldin, whose remains were returned to Israel for a proper burial this past week 11 years after his dead body was kidnapped into a Hamas tunnel during Operation Protective Edge in 2014. Chaim gives a short history lesson about that operation, and subsequent operations that all led up to the Swords of Iron War, which still isn’t over despite the ceasefire. He also talks about the efforts by Goldin’s parents and others to secure the release of his remains so he could receive a proper burial. Chaim says he himself was part of that effort, which included talks with senior officials in Egypt and many other countries and organizations including the Red Cross, various UN agencies, etc.
