Update (Day 964) Swords of Iron “Warped”

As we continue defending our homeland—and, truly, the free world—it’s shocking to see how confused parts of that free world have become.

In Montreal, extremists hung effigies of US President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Israeli Knesset Minister Ben-Gvir in the streets while chanting and beating drums. Montreal police are investigating—and they should. These kinds of displays don’t end with dolls in the street. This is dangerous hatred, and it must be taken seriously.

But terror itself will end.

A year ago, soldiers were given a deck of cards with the faces of the masterminds behind the October 7 massacre. Today, only four remain. Another one has been eliminated: Muhammad Odeh, Hamas’s newly appointed military chief, was taken out in a precision strike in Gaza City’s Rimal neighborhood. Little by little, those responsible for October 7 are meeting justice.

Meanwhile, Iran has imposed one of the longest planned internet blackouts in history. Now there are reports that the internet will gradually return. What will the people of Iran see? Will they see the truth about the regime that has held them hostage? Will they see how their leaders have killed protesters, crushed opposition, destroyed their economy, and dragged their nation into war?

In Lebanon, Israel is pushing deeper because the drone threat cannot be ignored. Hezbollah’s drones are coming from beyond the yellow line, so we must go deeper to stop them. Our people in the north cannot live under constant attack. We cannot pretend everything is fine while explosive drones target our soldiers and civilians.

I hope no outside pressure forces Israel to stop before Hezbollah’s threat is truly dismantled. We must remove the drone factories, launch sites, and terror infrastructure before more families are left grieving.

At the same time, the United States continues Project Freedom, escorting commercial vessels safely through the Strait of Hormuz. A Greek supertanker was just escorted through, showing that the free world will not allow Iran to control global shipping through terror.

Since October 7, Israel has awakened. Before that massacre, many of us were asleep. Now we are alert, strong, and ready. We know what we are facing, and we know what must be done.

Zechariah 10:5 says: “They will be like mighty warriors in battle, trampling their enemies… because the Lord is with them.” 

That is the story of Israel: the same people who came out of Egypt as slaves, entered the Promised Land, and continue standing today.

We will stand. We will fight when we must. And with God’s help, we will prevail.
