ARC Israel Updates

February 3rd 2024 – Day 119

Chaim starts out the video by inviting his viewers to post in the comments section answering the question of what they think should happen in the Gaza Strip following the current war against Hamas.

He mentions that the US and some other Western countries are considering the idea of recognizing a Palestinian state as part of negotiations to end the war. He says that meanwhile, the IDF is crushing terrorists in the Gaza Strip, even as fighting with Hezbollah intensifies on the northern border.

He says that Israel has tried to trade “land for peace” and it’s just led to more wars, which Chaim and his friends have had to fight in again and again. He rhetorically asks if the Palestinians have another opportunity for a sovereign state, will it be a state that Israel has to constantly monitor and periodically fight, like it’s had to do with the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip for most of the past 20 years.

On top of that, as Chaim says, the Hamas charter says absolutely nothing about even WANTING a Palestinian State. They only want to massacre all the Jews.

But Chaim says despite all this, he’s confident because of the promises in the Scriptures. He quotes Zephaniah 3:17;The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

He concludes by saying that one idea put forward is to have the Palestinian Authority contribute towards the stabilization of the Strip, and maybe even take over the civil administration there similar to what they already do in several cities in Judea and Samaria. But first, there would have to be a “reset” in regards to the people in charge of the PA, and needless to say, Hamas could have no part in the governing structure whatsoever.

(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.
