ARC Israel Updates

Day 174

Chaim starts the video by saying that he’s at home in the Galilee on a break from the IDF for some “R&R” but that doesn’t mean “rest and relaxation” it means “return and restoration.”

That’s what the Aliyah Return Center is all about, and Chaim has been hard at work during his break from the war, making sure the ARC has what it needs to keep doing what it does.

He then quotes Winston Churchill when he said “The British Government Had a Choice Between War and Shame, It Chose Shame, So It Shall Have It, and Also War.”

He asks his viewers to answer a question in the comments section about whether the Biden Administration in the US is trying to force Israel to agree to a ceasefire which will leave Hamas in power in Gaza and allow it to regroup, reorganize and plan future massacres of Israelis.

He then switches to commenting on the Northern arena, where a choice between war and shame appears to be offering itself to Israel.

But then he switches back to talking about President Biden and the incredibly difficult position he’s in, being under severe pressure from the Progressive wing of the Democratic Party to put pressure on Israel to capitulate to Hamas. He was initially very supportive of Israel’s war against Hamas, but as the months have dragged on and a quick victory hasn’t materialized, he’s  having trouble maintaining that support publicly.

Chaim wonders if telling the truth about what’s at stake might have been a smart political move, as it might have gained him some support from Evangelical voters who are not enthusiastic about voting for Donald Trump.

Chaim says that regardless of the political dynamics, we all need to be in prayer for the leaders of the US, Israel and whatever other countries are involved in what’s going on. We also need to be in prayer for ourselves, that we’ll continue to stand up for the truth and stand up for what’s right, even when it’s difficult.

(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.
