(Day 514) Swords of Iron – “Unprecedented 400,000 IDF reservists called to End Hamas”
Chaim starts out by talking about the youngest and oldest Israeli hostages who died in captivity and have recently been buried. He also mentions the terrorist attack in Haifa, where a Druze Israeli man who had just returned from a months-long trip in Europe and had apparently been radicalized there, attacked people at a bus stop with a knife, killing a 71-year-old Arab man and wounding four Jewish people. Chaim says radicalization can happen to anyone and it can happen anywhere.
(Day 509) Swords of Iron – “Burying Family”
Chaim starts by talking about how the entire nation of Israel watched the funeral of Shiri Bibas and her sons Ariel and Kfir, who were murdered in cold blood after being kidnapped into the Gaza Strip on October 7th, 2023.
(Day 508) Swords of Iron – “Bibas Lifshitz Funerals”
Chaim starts out by telling his viewers that he is at Kibbutz Nir Oz for the funeral of Oded Lifchitz, whose coffin had already arrived by the time he started filming, and the coffins of Shiri Bibas and her two baby children, Ariel and Kfir, will be coming the next day.
(Day 507) Swords of Iron – “Stamp It Out”
Chaim starts by saying that Hamas fired a rocket at Israel that landed inside the Strip, which is still a violation of the cease-fire agreement. He says that the vile displays of contempt for hostages by Hamas is also a violation and must stop. He then says that Phase B of the ceasefire is proceeding and this will include Hamas leaving Gaza for good.
(Day 506) Swords of Iron – “Its time to end the charade”
Chaim starts by saying that when tragedy strikes, people get their priorities in order.
(Day 505) Swords of Iron – “Going Ballistic”
Chaim starts out by telling his viewers he’s standing in front of an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile fired at Israel by Iran. It was fired with the sole purpose of killing as many Israelis as possible, irrespective of their status as soldiers or civilians.
(Day 504) Swords of Iron – “Abhorrent”
Chaim starts by saying that these are very difficult times for Israelis, including because of all the emotional and psychological trauma we’re going through in this war. He asks his viewers to be in prayer for these issues because psychologists are talking about millions of Israelis suffering from PTSD and other conditions.
(Day 503) Swords of Iron – “Our Eyes Are Fountains Of Tears”
Chaim starts by saying that Israel is in mourning, as people all over the country watched the return to Israel of coffins filled with the remains of Israeli hostages Oded Lifschitz, Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas. Hamas tried to put out a false narrative about how Shiri was a soldier who served in the IDF so that justifies their kidnapping and murdering her and her children, but Chaim says no one is buying this.
(Day 502) Swords of Iron – “Heartbroken”
Chaim starts out by saying that we don’t really know how to process the events of this day, which include an announcement by Hamas that Ariel and Kfir Bibas, the children who were kidnapped on October 7th along with their mother Shira, are dead. We had long held out hope that they would be returned alive, but now we know they won’t be, although we’ll need to have forensic examinations of the remains to know for sure.
(Day 500) Swords of Iron – “500 and triumphant”
Chaim starts out the video by saying that any time the IDF is rolling by, Israeli civilians see them and give them nice things to eat and other treats. He says this is a sign of unity that is badly needed at this time, as the war is far from over and there’s a lot going on.
