 (Day 485) Swords of Iron – “Nukes”

Chaim starts by asking a rhetorical question about what will happen next in Gaza and in general with Israel’s security needs.

He mentions that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is heading to Washington DC to meet with US President Donald Trump, who just signed an executive order to develop a missile defense system to protect the United States homeland. He also wants Arab League countries to take in Palestinian refugees, but these states have all said no to that idea for now.

Chaim also mentions that UNRWA is on the ropes in many ways and he talks about the big worry that everyone has about Iran. Iran’s regime is threatening an all-out war if their nuclear facilities are attacked, but if those facilities are not attacked, a war might happen anyway and Iran would have nuclear weapons.

The IRGC is making threats, showing off its strategic facilities, trying to deter an attack.

Chaim says it’s a very complicated and fraught situation, but he urges his viewers not to be afraid. In this context, he quotes Isaiah 41:10-11; So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. “All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish.

Next Chaim goes through some of the nuclear facilities that Iran is operating, while they ignore all warnings to step back from the brink of deploying nuclear weapons.

But, again, Chaim turns to the Word of God, quoting Deuteronomy 33:29; Blessed are you, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will tread on their heights.”

(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.
