ARC Mini Blog Day 274 Swords of Iron – Future

The first half of the video is just scenes of devastation in Gaza as Chaim and his comrades drive through the landscape. At one point there is a scene of endless columns of trucks carrying humanitarian aid for the residents of the Strip.

Then, halfway through, Chaim tells his viewers that he’s in the middle of this very bas situation, and he says that everywhere he and his comrades look they find weapons of war meant to harm Israelis. But he also sees the Egyptian border just a few meters away, that could have been the scene of massive economic activity and trade. He also sees a gorgeous beach with houses near the shoreline, and he says that if the people living in Rafah had some other motivation in their hearts than hatred of Jews and Israelis, they could have had a much better life.

He asks his viewers to take a good look at this scene and thank the God who created all of us, for the better future He has for us.

(Day 769) Swords of Iron – “Shift in Progress”

Chaim starts by saying he expects things to shift for the better in the Middle East. He expects the hearts and minds of people in Gaza to shift, as there are only three hostages remaining in the Strip and because of coordination between Israel and the US and others, over 800 trucks full of humanitarian aid are going into the Strip every day.

(Day 768) Swords of Iron – “Culmination, as we dismantle terror Infrastructure”

Chaim starts by pointing out that Veterans Day was just marked in the U.S. and he wonders aloud if people really understand what soldiers do and what they sacrifice and endure on battlefields. He then begins to list some of the work the IDF is doing in the current days, including after the ceasefire, finding and demolishing tunnels packed full of weapons and ammunition that Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon intended to use against Israel.

(Day 766) Swords of Iron – “Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, laid to rest with our ancestors”

Chaim starts by letting his viewers know he’s filming from the funeral of Har Goldin, whose remains were returned to Israel for a proper burial this past week 11 years after his dead body was kidnapped into a Hamas tunnel during Operation Protective Edge in 2014. Chaim gives a short history lesson about that operation, and subsequent operations that all led up to the Swords of Iron War, which still isn’t over despite the ceasefire. He also talks about the efforts by Goldin’s parents and others to secure the release of his remains so he could receive a proper burial. Chaim says he himself was part of that effort, which included talks with senior officials in Egypt and many other countries and organizations including the Red Cross, various UN agencies, etc.
