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 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.
