ARC Israel Updates

January 25th 2024 – Day 110

Chaim starts by saying he’s thinking of the IDF soldiers who were killed in action this week. In particular, he highlights one man, an Arab-Israeli Bedouin soldier named Achmed Abu Latif, from the tracker battalion. He was known for being outspoken in his support for the state of Israel and Chaim rhetorically asks why this would be, and he answers his own question by saying this man appreciated what a gift freedom is, and that’s a lesson which so many in the West have forgotten.

He also mentions the oft-discussed idea of a “two-state solution” which is absurd because Hamas clearly says it doesn’t want a Palestinian State, it just wants to destroy the Jewish people.

The proof if this, Chaim says, is in how much time, money, effort and energy Hamas invested in building a massive network of tunnels underneath the Gaza Strip in order to launch terrorist attacks against Israel. Chaim and his comrades are working hard to discover and destroy these tunnels.

Next Chaim mentions the Iranian-backed terrorist groups in Iraq who have begun to fire drones towards Israel and the US/UK military actions against the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorist groups in Yemen.

He also mentions the protests against Hamas which have begun to be held in Gaza.

Next he rhetorically asks what his viewers are prepared to do to defend freedom, pointing to those who have come before and sacrificed so much for it. He also points out that freedom is a Judeo-Christian value derived from the Bible, and he points out that in Hebrews 11 there’s a Hall of Fame of faith and he declares “there’s still room there for you and me.”

(Day 627) Swords of Iron – “Going Ballistic on Beersheva”

Chaim starts by lamenting the destruction in Ber Sheva that was caused by a last-minute Iranian ballistic missile strike just before the cease-fire went into effect. But, he says, he’s glad to live in a country that cares about its citizens and works hard to protect them, even if sometimes the bad guys land a blow. On that note, Chaim gives some details that are known about what happened in Ber Sheva, including the facts that the missile that struck the building was one of a wave that Iran fired and many more lives could have been lost if people had not been in their bomb shelters.

(Day 625) Swords of Iron – “Kaboom!”

Chaim starts by cheering on the announcement by US President Donald Trump that the US has joined the war against Iran’s nuclear program, defending the free world against one of its most dangerous enemies by destroying the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities.

(Day 619) Swords of Iron – “Remember We Didn’t Start This”

Chaim starts by acknowledging that these are difficult times in Israel, with incoming ballistic missiles and drones, cruise missiles and other weapons. Hundreds of people have been rendered homeless and at least 25 have been killed, while many more have been wounded. Israelis have had to run to their bomb shelters on several occasions over the past five days, and sometimes we have to stay there for extended periods, but it’s very important for us to stay safe.
