(Day 490) Swords of Iron – “Sons and Daughters of Israel”

In this video, Chaim starts by interviewing his own children, asking them how they’re coping with their father (himself) being at war for so long, away from them and in dangerous situations. His son and daughter respond that he prays for his father to be safe, along with all the other soldiers.

He then starts talking about how this situation Israel is in is kind of like a reality show, but not in a good way. He also talks about the reactions of Hamas, and the broader world, to the plan floated last week by US President Donald Trump, to evacuate the population of the Gaza Strip and rebuild the Strip, pointing out that they can’t live there the way it is now.

As Egypt and Jordan (who hold a large share of the historic responsibility for the problem of Palestinian refugees being so troublesome in the first place) are refusing to accept any refugees from Gaza, Trump is now suggesting other places these people can go. This includes Puntland, Somoliland and Morocco. There are advantages and disadvantages to all these plans, but the bottom line is that something must be done because the status quo is untenable.

In related news, Pam Bondi, the Trump Administration’s new Attorney General, has launched an investigation into how Hamas and the Moslem Brotherhood managed to get so much influence on university campuses in the United States.

The JTF 10-7 effort is designed to get to the bottom of this issue and find out what led up to the October 7th attacks and how so many American universities became hotbeds of support for terrorism.

Chaim also mentions the attacks coming against Israel in the narrative space, where anti-Zionists and anti-Semites are trying to ignore and/or delegitimize the Jewish attachment to the Land of Israel, which is rooted in the Bible.

At the same time, there are other rhetorical attacks coming in the legacy media, which is losing trust and credibility with people all over the world.

He also mentions the way the issue of Palestinian “refugees” from the 1948 War has been mishandled and how treaties which are meant to regulate the issue of “refugees” from conflicts all over the world have been ignored in the case of the Palestinians because there are people who want to use them as a weapon against Israel.

 

Chaim concludes by quoting Psalm 3;

Lord, how they have increased who trouble me!

Many are they who rise up against me. Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.

I cried to the Lord with my voice, and He heard me from His holy hill. Selah

I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the Lord sustained me.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.

Arise, O Lord; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.

Salvation belongs to the Lord. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah
