ARC Israel Updates

Day 161

Chaim starts out by declaring that these polarizing and also galvanizing times, giving stark choices between right and wrong, good and evil, and truth and lies.

He says that the symbols of these choices are showing up everywhere, even at the Oscars, where some celebrities wore a pin signaling their support for a cease-fire in Gaza while others wore a yellow ribbon signaling their support for Israeli hostages.

It’s becoming impossible to ignore what’s happening in the Holy Land.

Chaim says it’s a time of heroes and it WILL end in good triumphing over evil. There is currently an intensification of this battle, with the last holdouts of Hamas holed up in Rafah and the IDF preparing to go in and finish them off. US President Joe Biden has more or less given a green light for Israel to finish the job.

Chaim also mentions the ongoing defensive operations in Judea and Samaria, a front in this war that seldom gets talked about but which is vitally important.

Then Chaim mentions the situation in the north, where a full-scale war between Israel and Hezbollah could break out at any time. There is a report in a Lebanese newspaper that Israel has given a deadline of 15 March for Hezbollah to either withdraw north of the Litani River or be pushed back there by the IDF.

The same report says that diplomatic sources are saying that Hezbollah is forcing Israel’s hand and making it necessary to take matters into its own hands on the border.

Chaim says that in any case, there’s a need to get very serious about praying into this situation, because there’s a spiritual battle going on as well as a kinetic one.

(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.
