(Discern Media)—Multiple influential pro-Israel Joe Biden donors have strongly criticized him for his recent decision to potentially pause weapon shipments to Israel, should the country proceed with an invasion of Rafah, a Hamas stronghold in southern Gaza. They alerted his campaign that his attempt to appease anti-Zionist voters harms Israel’s ability to defeat the terrorist group.
News outlet Axios has obtained an email sent by Israeli-American Democratic megadonor Haim Saban to White House officials, expressing profound discontent with Biden’s stance. Saban’s message, sent on Wednesday, called the decision “Bad, Bad, Bad, on all levels, Pls reconsider.” He further warned that the move “sends a terrible message to our allies in the region and beyond.”
In a CNN interview aired on Wednesday, Biden confirmed his position, stating that if Israel were to invade Rafah, the U.S. would not supply the weapons historically used to address such situations. However, he assured that the U.S. would continue to support Israel’s security through measures like the Iron Dome and other defensive capabilities.
Some Israelis and American politicians believe that Biden’s decision is a political maneuver to appease the far-left and progressive factions of the Democratic Party before the November election.
Hamas, with its leader Yahya Sinwar, has established a stronghold in Rafah, a city of over 1 million Palestinians. The terrorist organization is believed to be using hostages, potentially including Americans, as human shields to deter an Israeli incursion.
In his email, Saban accused Biden of abandoning the goals the U.S. has previously expressed in its support for Israel, including the defeat of Hamas. Saban pointed out the inconsistency in the U.S. stance, saying, “WE, the US, as you stated numerous times, believe that Hamas should be defeated. WE, the US, in this case YOU Mr President, have decided to stop sending munitions to Israel to achieve the goal that WE/YOU have set up for Israel and ourselves.”
Saban, who hosted a major fundraiser for Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign in February at his Los Angeles home, also said that the pause sends a message that the U.S. is bending to political pressure rather than doing what is right.
Mark Mellman, the CEO of Democratic Majority for Israel, echoed Saban’s sentiments, telling Axios that “there has never been a president more pro-Israel than Joe Biden.” He added, “At the same time, we are very concerned about what appears to be a significant shift in US policy.”
Mellman noted that many in the pro-Israel community are “very worried, very upset and very angry” about the administration’s threats and that they are unsure about the political consequences.
In response to this development, the House Oversight Committee has announced an investigation into the Biden administration’s threats to withhold offensive aid from Israel. The White House has yet to comment on the matter.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
