Day 367 Swords of Iron – “October 7”

Chaim starts the video by reminding his viewers that it is the one-year anniversary of the October 7th massacre by Hamas that started this current war, and he’s been mobilized into the IDF to fight in that war almost from the very beginning. The war is not settling down, on the contrary, it’s heating up, with Iran getting directly involved with a large strike using ballistic missiles and Israel getting ready to hit back hard.

But it’s not just Iran, it’s all the Iranian-sponsored proxy groups in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and even in Judea and Samaria. They’re all coming against Israel at the same time, and Israel is not backing down. There is a real threat that Iran could even increase the tempo of attacks, and people all over the world are being faced with a choice if they’re going to honor the terrorists of October 7th or the victims of October 7th.

Chaim says that the damage done to IAF bases from the Iranian ballistic missile attack reminds him of the IDF bases that were taken over by Hamas on October 7th. They carried out all kinds of horrible atrocities on that day, and Chaim rhetorically asks “what do we learn from this” and then he answers his own question by saying that “when someone tells you they’re going to murder you, take them seriously.

Chaim says that it’s a priviledge to be among those who are standing up to this evil barbarism, and in this context he quotes Jeremiah 1:19; They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you,” says the Lord, “to deliver you.”

He concludes by asking his viewers to join in the chorus of voices saying “we won’t back down” and we won’t be intimidated by terror and barbarism but we’re going to defend the civilized world.

(Day 540) Swords of Iron – “What Color is a Jew?”

Chaim starts out by saying that the IDF is hard at work keeping Israel safe and trying for a quiet weekend, which he says Israel needs in order to recuperate. At the same time, he notes that in Gaza, leaflets were distributed advising the residents to move away from areas that were about to be attacked. There have even been instances when an individual who wasn’t moving out of a building that was about to be struck was called and convinced to leave just before the strike came and destroyed that building. Chaim says this is an example of how the IDF is serious and its warnings should be taken seriously.

(Day 539) Swords of Iron – “Shabbat peace as the storm rages”

The video begins with a montage of combat footage that Chaim has taken before the scene changes to Chaim welcoming in the Sabbath with a group of other soldiers, obviously in battlefield conditions. The Jewish soldiers are all heavily armed and wearing full combat gear, but they are singing, praying and eating the Shabbat meal together just the same.

(Day 538) Swords of Iron – “The Waiting Game”

Chaim starts off by talking about ballistic missile attacks by the Houthis on Jerusalem, and says that as bad as they are, it was much worse before Israel had the Iron Dome and other air defense systems. Chaim also concedes that these systems are very expensive but he mentions the “Iron Beam” laser which will shoot down incoming missiles for a fraction of the cost, and soon everyone will want it.

(Day 537) Swords of Iron – USA Stealth bombers head toward Iran and Yemen

Chaim starts by talking about how the US military is deploying assets to Diego Garcia, a British-owned island in the Indian Ocean which also serves as a major hub for US military operations in the Middle East. Chaim says that all this firepower might soon be unleashed on the Houthis in Yemen, who have no way of defending against it. But the other major target is Iran, and some of their strategic assets are deep underground where even the American mili might have a hard time getting at them. Chaim says that Iran is showing this capability off to the world, clearly hoping to intimidate and discourage the US and Israel rom striking, but that is very unlikely to be successful.
