(Day 671) Swords of Iron – “It’s Time”

Chaim starts by saying that he’s filming this video in the dry Negev Desert of southern Israel and he says that many soldiers feel like this desert. They need some encouragement and he asks his viewers to support the Aliyah Return Center’s efforts to provide more barbecues for the soldiers to encourage them as they prepare for one last push to take control of the last parts of the Gaza Strip where Hamas still holds total control.

This could mean the deaths of the remaining hostages but it will also mean that finally, Hamas will be totally defeated and this war will come to an end with an Israeli victory.

The first phase would be issuing an evacuation notice for all the civilians living in Gaza City and the central camps adjacent to it and in parallel, building up civilian infrastructure, including field hospitals and tent cities for these people to live in while the fighting is ongoing. Then phase two would be to launch a massive offensive into the area still controlled by Hamas. This phase is expected to last a few weeks, possibly longer. Chaim says he hopes it won’t last too long, but he and his comrades are determined to finish the job this time.

Elsewhere, victims of Hamas and Hezbollah terrorism are starting to sue the UN for their complicity, either directly or indirectly. Chaim talks about his own experiences seeing Hezbollah infrastructure set up within meters of UN facilities in Lebanon, saying it’s impossible that the UN didn’t know about these facilities. The same thing has been documented in Gaza and elsewhere.

He also mentions the vandalism of the El Al Israeli airlines offices in Paris and he says it’s beginning to feel like we’re in the phase of pograms that occurred all over Nazi occupied Europe in the days just before the Holocaust started in earnest.

In this context, he quotes Psalms 25:22; Redeem Israel, O God, out of all their troubles!
