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 779) Swords of Iron – “Things Are Heating Up”

Chaim starts by saying that he is usually a pretty optimistic person but even he is having a hard time believing that Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis in Yemen and Iran’s IRGC are just going to give up on their goal of destroying Israel because they failed so miserably over the last two years. Hamas in particular has used the breathing room they got over the last few weeks of “ceasefire” to rearm and regroup and are now back to probing the Yellow Line and otherwise seeing what they can get away with.

(Day 777) Swords of Iron – “Next Generation”

Chaim starts by saying that he’s home with his family for the weekend and he’ll be heading back to the war the next day. But he’s thinking about the information war, the battle for hearts and minds. He’s thinking about how Qatar has spent billions of dollars to try and influence the next generation, how Charile Kirk tried to push back against the anti-Israel narratives, and Chaim realizes that although he’s made videos every single day for 777 days, he really isn’t reaching the Gen Z and Gen Alpha generations very well. So he says in this video he’s going to try and speak to them in their own language as best he can.

(Day 776) Swords of Iron – “Tunnels, and the trail to triumph”

Chaim starts by saying that he’s in Jerusalem and he’s standing in front of a poster with the hostages’ faces on it. There are still remains of three hostages who were murdered in captivity which have not yet been returned to Israel for burial, but Chaim says he had almost lost hope that there would be as many hostages returned, both living and dead, as there have been.
