ARC Israel Updates

Chaim begins by talking about all the reasons that wars are no fun. He then proceeds to list some of the things that make it worthwhile, such as the opportunity to liberate the ordinary people of Gaza from the tyranny of Hamas and give them what they need to live. He says Israel isn’t fighting the people of Gaza, but the Hamas terrorist group which terrorizes both Israel and the Palestinians. The Hezbollah terrorist group which dominates Lebanon and threatens to start another war front with Israel is the same.

He mentions that Israel is in fact bracing itself for the possibility of attacks by Hezbollah, which would likely include massive rocket barrages on every part of the country. He mentions a deal that’s in the works for the release of up to 80 hostages including most of the women and children who were kidnapped on 7 October.

He says that the massacre carried out by Hamas on 7 October has brought terrible suffering to the Palestinian people and he also mentions the unbelievable reactions of many people around the world who are marching in the streets to support Hamas, despite the overwhelming amount of evidence that they’re to blame for everything that’s happening.

Chaim quotes Psalm 143

Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, and in Your righteousness. Do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for in Your sight no one living is righteous.

For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in darkness, like those who have long been dead. Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is distressed.

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands.

I spread out my hands to You; my soul longs for You like a thirsty land. Selah

Answer me speedily, O Lord; my spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, lest I be like those who go down into the pit. Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.

Deliver me, O Lord, from my enemies; In You I take shelter. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

Revive me, O Lord, for Your name’s sake! For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble. In Your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul; For I am Your servant.

Chaim declares that “wherever evil arises it will be crushed” and he asks Christians to stand up and be counted in this time of trial. He then asks for his viewers to send a video of them saying “I stand with Israel” to the email of the Aliyah Return Center and the image shifts to a montage of people all over the world singing “Hatikvah” the national anthem of Israel.

(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.
