ARC Mini Blog for Day 284 Swords of Iron – Salaam Gaza Peace Initiative

Chaim starts the video by informing his viewers that “Salaam” means “Peace” in Arabic, and he says that he has an idea that he wants to share with his viewers and get their feedback.

He calls it the “Salaam Beach Peace Initiative” and it s based on the prophecy of Isaiah chapter 19, which says that there will be a highway connecting Egypt and Assyria, which will run through Israel. This would only be possible if these nations were at peace with each other, and all the obstacles to peace were removed.

Chaim invites his viewers to share the idea of inviting investors from all over the world to build the infrastructure for such a highway. He’s talking about resorts on beaches like the marvelous beach in Rafah where he’s filming this video.

Each investor would be free to build the hotel, spa, resort or whatever with the themes from their own country (he cites as an example “Little Italy” in New York City.)

Chaim acknowledges that such an initiative would also need to be patrolled by military and police forces from participating countries to guard against criminals and terrorists who might try to disrupt it. As if to pound home that point, he suddenly gets a warning over the radio that there is a suspected Hamas sniper in the vicinity, so he sits down to avoid giving the possible sniper an easy target.

But he says that he envisions this idea to be a continuation of the Abraham Accords, and as such, he thinks the man to lead this initiative would be Muhamad Bin Zalman, the leader of the United Arab Emirates.

(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.
