Day 221 Swords of Iron – “Gas Station Terror”

Chaim begins the video by saying that he’s filming from a gas station near the border with Gaza which was attacked on October 7th, 2023, and the owners barely escaped with their lives.

Chaim continues by saying it’s important to remember these atrocities and think about the heroes who stood up to defend the defenseless and keep Israel free over the decades. He mentions that Israel warned the residents of Rafah to evacuate the city because there is a need to go in and destroy the remaining Hamas battalions and rescue the remaining Israeli hostages there, and that operation is even now proceeding.

He mentions that there is pressure coming on Israel from the US to keep the operation limited, but Chaim says that the operation must go forward and Hamas must be utterly destroyed so it can’t threaten Israel again.

The scene shifts briefly to a man delivering ballistic helmets to soldiers and thanking the Aliyah Return Center for providing them.

Chaim concludes by quoting Deuteronomy 33:29; Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD, The shield of your help and the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall submit to you, and you shall tread down their high places.”

(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.
