(Day 480) Swords of Iron – “A new Season is Here”
Chaim starts the video by acknowledging that some IDF reserve soldiers are getting tired, ready for this war to be over so they can take off their uniforms and go back to their civilian lives. He talks about some of the different environments that IDF soldiers are being deployed, from the tropical beaches of Gaza to the frozen, snow capped Golan Heights. He also acknowledges that there is not always equipment needed for these different environments, and he says that the IDF welcomes any donations of equipment that will help them get the job done safely and effectively.
He also mentions the UN’s incompetence and even complicity in in assisting the terrorists with their attacks against Israel, the role they played in facilitating the construction of terrorist infrastructure in border regions in Lebanon and Syria, holding hostages in Gaza and the almost axiomatic condemnation of Israel that comes from the UN on almost any pretext.
He also mentions the irrational “dementia” that drives much of the terrorist activity against Israel. It is based on a false historical narrative that the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is the site of events significant in the history of Islam. This is a form of supersessionism, more commonly known as “Replacement Theology” and it is supplemented by anti-Semitic nonsense like the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and other such lies and deceit from the Pit of Hell.
Chaim says that if there is ever going to be hope for some peace and a positive future in the Middle East and the wider world, these lies and nonsense have to be rejected and the truth recognized and embraced.
In this context, he quotes Jeremiah 30:16-17; ‘Therefore all those who devour you shall be devoured; and all your adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; those who plunder you shall become plunder, and all who prey upon you I will make a prey.
For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord, because they called you an outcast saying: “This is Zion; no one seeks her.”
He concludes with Micah 4:13; “Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; For I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hooves bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples;
I will consecrate their gain to the Lord, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.”
