Day 457 Swords of Iron – “Brainwashing is real”

Chaim begins the video by showing the viewers around an “Eitan” Armored Personnel Carrier and he reminds them that “Eitan” means “strength” and that the Jewish people are not alone, they’re accompanied by the Father. He gives his reassurance that this is more than enough to confront whatever comes at us.

Speaking of what Israel is confronting, the next scenes show an IDF soldier who found a puzzle in a child’s room in Gaza. It shows Arab children attacking Israel with guns, tanks and other weapons. The solider says it’s proof that Palestinian children are taught to hate Israelis and Jews from a young age.

Next there is a clip from an interview with a man who used to be part of the Houthis in Yemen, but now he has a YouTube channel where he goes around Israel talking about how wonderful and amazing and good it is that Jews and Arabs live together so peacefully here.

Chaim then talks about the ways that the IDF, and his unit, the Ya’alom Combat Engineers specifically, are going after the Hamas weapons manufacturing infrastructure underground in Gaza. Israel is also forging partnerships with the Kurds and other non-Muslim groups throughout the Middle East as a way of pushing back against militant Islam, especially what’s coming out of Iran.

Operations continue against Hamas in Gaza, including in southern Gaza in and around the Philidelphi Corridor, which the Biden Administration in the US wanted the IDF to withdraw from, but Israel’s political leadership said this is not an option until there can be some kind of guarantee that more smuggling of weapons, ammunition, narcotics and other contraband will not start up again as soon as the IDF withdraws.

Chaim also mentions the ongoing operations against the Houthis in Yemen. The Houthis don’t seem to be convinced or deterred by half-measures, gestures or pressure. They keep firing ballistic missiles at Israel and attacking merchant shipping in international waters, in violation of international law and even common sense.

In this context, Chaim quotes I Samuel 25:29; Yet a man has risen to pursue you and seek your life, but the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the Lord your God; and the lives of your enemies He shall sling out, as from the pocket of a sling.

(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.
