ARC Israel Updates

February 1st 2024 – Day 117

Chaim starts the video by rhetorically asking his viewers what they think about a new deal designed to lead to the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. He says he’s “so glad” to be a citizen of a country that cares so much about its hostages. He describes a vivid dream he had years ago concerning Gilad Schalit, an IDF soldier who was taken hostage by Hamas and held hostage for years until Israel agreed to release over 1,000 Palestinian security prisoners in exchange for him.

Hamas is reportedly demanding something similar in exchange for releasing these hostages.

Chaim next mentions Yihyah Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, who is reportedly hiding in a Hamas tunnel underneath Gaza. He was one of those security prisoners released in exchange for Gilad Schalit. He was in prison for murdering Palestinians he suspected of “collaborating” with Israel. Chaim concludes by saying this is typical of tyrannical regimes all over the world, and it’s wrong all over the world, and the IDF will continue to stand against this evil force in the world.

(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.
