Day 390 Swords of Iron – “Isaiah 40 Comfort my people”

Chaim starts the video by mentioning that 12,000 Israelis have been wounded since this war began, most of them soldiers but also some civlians who were wounded in terrorist attacks or rocket attacks. He then adds that these are very difficult times in Israel for this and many other reasons, including the large number of PTSD cases among returning soldiers and even many civilians.

Chaim says that in these circumstance, there is a verse that is highly relevent; Isaiah 40:1; “Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” Says your God”

However, he says that great progress is also being made and this war won’t last forever. He mentions a vote in the Knesset to ban UNRWA from operating in Israel, and limiting its access to Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip. This is because of the direct involvement of UNRWA employees in the atrocities of October 7th, 2023.

Chaim says that he’s been waking up to head bad news almost every day for over a year, and he says its very important to stand with soldiers who have been fighting in this war for freedom and we also need to especially remember to stand with and support the families of soldiers who have been killed or wounded in action.

He mentions that Iran has found a replacement for Hassan Nasrallah to lead Hezbollah, and this new leader is vowing to continue the battle against Israel, but Chaim has no doubt Hezbollah will be defeated.

In this context, he quotes Psalms 138:7; Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me.

Chaim says he’s standing on this promise, and he thanks his viewers for standing with him.

The video concludes with scenes from a picnic that the Aliyah Return Center was able to give some IDF soldiers because the viewers support the ARC.

(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.
