Day 199 Swords of Iron – “Let my people go”

Chaim starts the video by showing his viewers a little bag of yeast that he found in his house that he will burn as part of his neighborhood’s traditional pre-Passover bonfire, where all the last-minute chametz gets destroyed.

He then speaks about the conditions in Israel as we prepare to celebrate Passover together, with military aircraft flying overhead constantly amidst the knowledge that Iran could strike at any time. There is also less immediate threats, including actions being taken by students at large universities in the US and Canada against Israel, including Columbia University in New York City, which has one of the largest Jewish Diaspora populations. There are also terrorist attacks right in the heart of Jerusalem, all coming against Israel in the same spirit of anti-Semitism which has been attacking Jews since ancient times.

Chaim says that every person in the free world has a responsibility to push back against this demonic spirit and protect the innocent.

The scene then shifts to Chaim visiting the Western Wall in Jerusalem’s Old City, showing his viewers what it has become under Israeli stewardship. Chaim prays at the Wall for the freedom and redemption of Israel’s hostages in Gaza and for the redemption of the whole nation.

(Day 563) Swords of Iron – “Drive Terror Out”

Chaim starts by saying he remembers the day he got the call to come to his IDF reserve unit because the war was starting and he was needed. He talks about others he knows who did the same, even though many of them were very busy and had a lot going on, they all dropped what they were doing and ran to join their units. They all thought it would be a short war like so many others before it, but this war has lasted over a year and a half and there’s no end in sight.

(Day 562) Swords of Iron – “Fell in the line of duty”

Chaim starts by saying it’s always tragic when the IDF suffers casualties, and he honors Warrant Officer G’haleb Sliman Alnasasra, 35, of Rahat, who was killed in action over the weekend. Several other soldiers were wounded in the attack, which occurred in an area that was believed to have been cleared of hostile actors, but Hamas had a tunnel that had not been demolished yet and some Hamas guys popped up out of that tunnel and fired an RPG at an IDF vehicle and then later as a rescue vehicle was headed towards the scene Hamas detonated an IED and inflicted more casualties.

(Day 561) Swords of Iron – “Name a Hero of yours”

Chaim starts the video by asking his viewers to leave a comment talking about who their heroes are. He then tells the story of one of his personal heroes, Fredreich Bonhoofer, who was a pastor in Germany who publicly stood against the Nazi regime and was also involved in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in July 1944. His great legacy is that although he was a pacifist, he said that to not take action in the face of evil, and to not speak out in the face of evil, was to support evil and to become evil.
