ARC Israel Updates

Chaim starts by saying that Israel didn’t want this war but the defense force has to defend the country and its people. Hostages need to be rescued and deterrence needs to be restored.

He says that he personally witnessed the aftermath of the massacre of Israeli civilians which occurred on 7 October and says that what he saw is “something that we have to put an end to”. He acknowledges that some of his fellow soldiers have died and that there are bodies of hostages who still haven’t been identified and there are many more who are in hospitals trying to recover from their wounds, but some of them won’t recover.

He also notes that many of the soldiers deployed to fight in this war have regular jobs and lives they’ve left behind. But he also says that the civilians have a tough situation, with many people having been forced to take refuge in hotels and staying with relatives or friends away from their homes, which aren’t safe for them because of the rocket attacks.

But he also says that he’s seen some amazing things, people who are helping out in many ways and the country coming together like never before to face this crisis.

Next he transitions to sharing some thoughts about how the Muslim population of the world is around 1.2 billion, or 20% of the world, and have recieved just 7 Nobel Prizes for different things and although the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Yasser Arafat is a little dodgy Chaim says “at least these guys tried” to contribute something positive to the world.

He then makes a comparison that there are around 14 million Jews in the world but there have been 129 Nobel Prizes awarded to Jewish people for many different things.

He asks a rhetorical question about how this situation came about and he offers a suggestion to the Moslem population of the world to not teach their children to hate Jews and Christians and to act out that hatred by carrying out terrorist attacks against them.

He says that it’s time for everyone to ask themselves how we can be a blessing in the world and not a curse.

He concludes by quoting 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.

He encourages his viewers to do their part by standing with Israel and praying for the truth to be heard. He also thanks his viewers for standing with the Emergency Aid Initiative at the Aliyah Return Center so that we can help people who need assistance in this crisis.

(Day 731) Swords of Iron – “Where are the hostages?”

Chaim starts by talking about how he’s been mobilized in this war for two years, which is 10% of his adult life, and he’s seen and participated in many of the war’s most well-known campaigns. However, now is a special time because it is the Feast of Tabernacles and it’s time for the people of Israel to build temporary, flimsy structures to remind ourselves of the Exodus from Egypt when God watched over us and protected and provided for us despite the desperately insecure situation we were in.

(Day 730) Swords of Iron – “Two Years”

Chaim starts by saying that it’s been a great privilege for him to be mobilized in his IDF reserve unit, to serve with the elite Yahalom Combat Engineers for Special Missions, demolishing Hamas tunnels and doing various other specialized tasks that the regular units aren’t trained to do. He is also the CEO of the Aliyah Return Center and the Faithful Galileans, two non-profits that work to help new immigrants to Israel as well as fight the information battles.

(Day 729) Swords of Iron – “Permanent Ceasefire?!”

Chaim says that he’s glad that President Trump put pressure on Hamas and they gave a sort of “half yes” to the plan he put forward to end this war, including the return of the hostages. This gives hope that this war is almost over, but Chaim says the Israeli leadership is being very cautious, ordering the IDF to stay on high alert against the possibility that there will be any more terror attacks or other problems.
