I Could Have Bought A Car, But I Chose My Country First!
6:30, October 7th, 2023, Thousands of missiles rained down on Israel, while hundreds of Palestinian terrorists crossed the border with one singular mission: genocide.
By 11:35 AM, the Iron Swords war had officially begun.
Just hours later, on October 8, at 1:00 AM, I purchased the domain iron-swords.co.il without knowing it would become a part of something bigger.
October 7 was a wake-up call. Not just for Israel but for me. It was a day that redefined priorities and shattered illusions. I never imagined this could become our reality: a world where innocent Jewish lives are expendable, where terrorism is glorified, and where our very survival is questioned.
Yet, this is the reality we face. A reality where Palestinian terrorism isn’t just an attack on Israelis—it’s a global stage where the truth is twisted, and the heroes of one of humanity’s most innovative and resilient nations are vilified.
This isn’t just a war of weapons—it’s a war of narratives, a battle for survival, and a fight for the truth.
Because Israel doesn’t just defend itself, it’s the dam holding back the free world from collapsing.
This is the fight I’ve accidentally chosen to join, the digital battlefield, ensuring that the truth about October 7 and the following days of war will never be forgotten.
The Beginning
I am a Webmaster; I have built numerous websites; it's one of my best skills :).
After the outbreak of the war, a massive crisis unfolded as Palestinian terrorists burned down entire communities and towns, leaving families displaced. Witnessing this devastation, I leveraged my expertise to make a difference like the rest of the nation.
I built a platform designed to function similarly to Booking.com: the Iron Swords Housing Platform. The Platform connected displaced individuals with safe housing, relying on community efforts, partnerships, and free infrastructure to provide meaningful support during these dire times.
Over time, the platform evolved into a full-fledged volunteer management system, enabling advanced organization of inventory, personnel, and listings of volunteer initiatives. This enhanced coordination maximized the impact of relief efforts.
The Iron Swords platform operated from October 8, 2023, to December 30, 2023. During this time, I witnessed a significant shift in the global narrative about my country. Determined to combat misinformation, we began transcribing and translating videos from the IDF spokesperson into English and uploading them to our platform. This initiative gained substantial traction, as it allowed a broader audience to access the official account of the war, countering Palestinian propaganda with truth.
In addition, I created a dedicated page hosting all the October 7 uncensored footage—unedited and raw documentation of the atrocities filmed and released by Palestinians themselves. This page served as a powerful resource, exposing the true face of Palestine and highlighting the brutal realities of that day.
The October 7 Uncensored Videos page became one of the platform’s most visited sections, drawing over 1 million visitors per month since its creation on October 20, 2023.
Tight budget
Operating a large-scale platform with 3,000 active monthly users came with significant challenges. Infrastructure, security, and daily operations costs soared to $140 per day. Despite these expenses, the platform remained completely free to use, with no reliance on ads or external funding. Instead, all costs were covered by my company’s emergency budget, established at the start of the war.
As the country gradually began to recover, interest in volunteering naturally declined. Displaced individuals were increasingly cared for through more formalized and better-equipped relief efforts. Recognizing these shifts, we knew it was time to pivot.
The Iron Swords platform officially closed on December 31, 2024. However, its mission didn’t end there. In its place, I launched a Hasbara website dedicated to one critical goal: documenting and sharing the story of the war, ensuring that the world's truth is preserved and understood.
Fight, Fight, Fight!
Since January 1, 2024, my dedicated volunteers have worked tirelessly to make a difference in the fight for truth. Every day, we publish a new webpage filled with verified facts and firsthand accounts, ensuring that the reality of what’s happening is shared with as many people as possible. Each page attracts 3,000 to 10,000 views, reaching thousands eager to see the truth unfiltered.
In a time when disinformation spreads like wildfire and Palestinian lies and terror propaganda dominate headlines and social media, we are committed to cutting through the noise. We tell the stories as they happened, presenting the facts with clarity and integrity.
This effort is not just about countering propaganda—it’s about honoring the victims of terror, shedding light on the brutal realities, and showing the world the courage and resilience of the Israeli people. Every page we post is a step forward in ensuring that the truth is heard, justice is sought, and terror will not be rewarded. Together, we stand firm, armed with facts, and driven by a deep sense of justice.
Our work is far from over, but with your support, we will continue to fight this battle for truth, one webpage at a time.
Stand with us, Stand with Israel.
