(Day 742) Swords of Iron – “What these words mean”

Chaim starts by saying that it’s a good thing that Israel is winning on the kinetic battlefields, on the media battlefield, it’s a different story. The Western world, in general, is in very bad shape and as an example, Chaim points to a recent incident in which a man stood up on a flight to Glasgow, Scotland, and shouted threats to destroy the plane and said it was because of “Trump” and other things like this.

Chaim says its pretty obvious what his motivations are, but many people are trying to make excuses for him and say it’s because he was “against the patriarchy” or some other nonsense.

Chaim also points to the growing popularity of a phrase in Arabic “Khaybar, Khaybar, ya yahud! Jaish Muhammad soufa yaʿoud” which is a reference to a massacre of a Jewish village by forces loyal to the Muslim prophet Muhammed in 628 AD in the Hijaz region of what is now Saudi Arabia. The phrase literally means “Remember Khaybar, oh Jews, the Army of Muhmmed will return.” It has been used as a rallying cry for jihadist forces for many years, especially in reference to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Chaim says that you now hear this chant being repeated all over the world, including in big Western universities, which should know better, and Chaim thinks this should not be allowed. It’s not a “free speech” issue; it’s an issue of the survival of the civilized world.

Chaim concludes by saying that all of this “speech” that is being thrown around ultimately doesn’t mean anything because the only “speech” that matters is what was said by the God of Israel, and in this context he quotes Isaiah 49:22; Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will lift My hand in an oath to the nations, and set up My standard for the peoples; They shall bring your sons in their arms, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders;
