Day 255 Swords of Iron – “Mourn and Train”

Chaim begins by telling his viewers that in these difficult times, he takes comfort from the Scriptures, especially the Psalms written by King David. He gives as an example Psalms 34:16; The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

He continues by saying that this is important to remember as Israel faces the “Goliath” of growing anti-Semitism all over the world. He also mentions that the IDF is on the highest possible level of alert as an all-out war with Hezbollah in the north threatens to erupt and the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip is still ongoing.

He adds that there is also a real battle in the information space, with influencers taking sides. He mentions Joe Rogan, who has a very successful podcast, who recently said that Israel is committing a “Holocaust” in Gaza. This is astounding and not something we would have expected from Rogan, who usually demonstrates a strong commitment to the truth.

Chaim says that there is a literal mountain of evidence to show that Israel is doing as much as possible to minimize civilian casualties in this war, while Hamas is deliberately trying to increase them in order to damage Israel’s ability to fight back.

He goes on to say that it’s been a difficult few days, with the news coming about 12 IDF soldiers killed in action in Gaza. This is an unusually high number and it testifies to the intense battles that are being fought. Chaim says there’s so many funerals that he’s attended lately but even in their grief, he and his comrades continue to train for the battles that lie ahead.

While training, he keeps in mind Psalms 144:1; Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle.

He also quotes Deuteronomy 31:6; Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Chaim then declares that the IDF will continue training and preparing, but the Aliyah Return Center is also hard at work back on the home front, distributing donated humanitarian aid and assistance to those who need it, and he urges his viewers to continue supporting these efforts.

(Day 660) Swords of Iron – “AirDrop So Hamas Can’t Steal It”

Chaim starts by commenting on the absurdity of this situation, whereby the UN has failed so badly to distribute the enormous quantity of humanitarian aid that has been sent to the Gaza Strip from all over the world that now the IDF has to devote time and resources to airdropping it over the refugee camps so the residents can retrieve it.

(Day 658) Swords of Iron – “Druze Massacre Stopped”

Chaim starts by saying he’s glad to announce that the Druze population of southern Syria have pushed back the jihadist groups which were attacking them. Chaim adds that it’s possible they had help, maybe even on the ground, from the IDF. But he also expresses his astonishment that so many news outlets, including Conservative cable outlets in the US and Europe, have largely ignored this situation.

(Day 657) Swords of Iron – “Are We Being Too Patient?”

Chaim starts by saying that the news has some wild headlines these days, as things are happening suddenly, with little warning. He gives as an example the ramming attack near Kfar Yonah in Judea and Samaria, which wounded 8 people and the terrorist fled on foot, pursued by the Israeli security agencies. This can make it sometimes seem like the wicked are flourishing for a time, but the righteous will have victory in the end.

(Day 656) Swords of Iron – “Israel has voted and approved sovereignty over Judea And Samaria”

Chaim starts by pointing to a bomb shelter and saying it reminds him that for most of the past two years, Israelis have been periodically running into the bomb shelters because of rockets, drones and missiles fired at this country by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen, Shi’ite militias in Iraq and most of all Iran itself. However, now this is changing and Chaim gives credit to the political leadership in Israel and the US.
