Day 388 Swords of Iron – “Hostage Deal”

Chaim starts the video by mentioning the plan Egypt has proposed for there to be a 2 day cease fire in Gaza in exchange for four Israeli hostages. This would be followed by a longer cease-fire and the plan is for there to be a longer-term cease-fire. Chaim says that the CIA Director and the Mossad director are both on their way to Qatar for talks aimed at ending the war and freeing the remaining hostages.

Chaim says that there has been a lot of sacrifice and hard work put into Israel getting to this point and it would be absolutely unacceptable to throw all that away just to get a short respite from the problems and terrorism that Hamas and Hezbollah are capable of. He mentions that he is now in Lebanon, again, after having fought there in the Second Lebanon War in 2006. He says that that war was also a result of Israel making a hasty decision to evacuate the buffer zone in southern Lebanon in 2000, which it had held since 1985.

Chaim says that a way must be found to both return the hostages and win the war. In this context he quotes Zechariah 12:6; In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place—Jerusalem.

Chaim concludes by urging his viewers to stay strong, mentally and physically, and “see this through.”

(Day 627) Swords of Iron – “Going Ballistic on Beersheva”

Chaim starts by lamenting the destruction in Ber Sheva that was caused by a last-minute Iranian ballistic missile strike just before the cease-fire went into effect. But, he says, he’s glad to live in a country that cares about its citizens and works hard to protect them, even if sometimes the bad guys land a blow. On that note, Chaim gives some details that are known about what happened in Ber Sheva, including the facts that the missile that struck the building was one of a wave that Iran fired and many more lives could have been lost if people had not been in their bomb shelters.

(Day 625) Swords of Iron – “Kaboom!”

Chaim starts by cheering on the announcement by US President Donald Trump that the US has joined the war against Iran’s nuclear program, defending the free world against one of its most dangerous enemies by destroying the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities.

(Day 619) Swords of Iron – “Remember We Didn’t Start This”

Chaim starts by acknowledging that these are difficult times in Israel, with incoming ballistic missiles and drones, cruise missiles and other weapons. Hundreds of people have been rendered homeless and at least 25 have been killed, while many more have been wounded. Israelis have had to run to their bomb shelters on several occasions over the past five days, and sometimes we have to stay there for extended periods, but it’s very important for us to stay safe.
