ARC Israel Updates

Chaim starts out by quoting Psalms 28:7; The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.

He goes on to say that 2024 will be a year of power and victory in Israel, quoting II Timothy 1:7; For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

He adds that this verse helps him stay focused in the midst of great challenges, including the fact that Turkey, which has long been a regional ally of Israel and remains an important economic partner, is rapidly turning against the Jewish State. Iran has also deployed a warship to the Red Sea, even as the US has redeployed a carrier battle group out of the area and it’s unclear if that battle group will be replaced in the near future.

He also mentions his astonishment that there are so many rockets still being fired into Israel even after so many launchers and rockets have been found and destroyed by the IDF. He talks about many of the other challenges Hamas poses, both physical and also moral, since they are totally unapologetic for the atrocities they carried out on October 7th but on the contrary, they’re very proud of it.

He also says that the threat from Hezbollah on Israel’s northern border and possibly attacks from Palestinian factions in Jordan are also being prepared for by the IDF. He also says that the Aliyah Return Center will continue to assist internally displaced families who have had to flee their homes near the borders as well as providing life-saving equipment to IDF soldiers in the war zone.

(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.
