Editor’s Commentary: In the article below, Michael Snyder details why he believes the war in the Middle East will be the final war between the two. His reasoning is sound; Hamas has always wanted to destroy Israel completely but now Israel wants to destroy Hamas completely. This is a fight to the death between Frankenstein and his monster.
Where I differ greatly from Snyder’s analysis is his belief that the world will not turn on Israel. It will. It already is. Even if we dismiss Bible prophecy that declares it will happen, we can see the powers-that-be fueling antisemitism in ways we haven’t seen since Nazi Germany. The Biden-Harris regime, which was initially “fully” supportive of Israel, is already showing signs of backing off their “unconditional” support. And corporate media is subtly shifting the narrative as they follow the regime’s lead. Otherwise, Snyder’s assessments are sound…
Hamas has always been committed to wiping out the nation of Israel, and now after the terror attacks of October 7th Israel is committed to wiping out Hamas. So what we are witnessing is truly a “death match” that will produce only one survivor. Hamas is desperately hoping that all of Israel’s enemies in the region will unite and try to destroy the nation of Israel once and for all. Meanwhile, Israel is attempting to slowly but surely strangle the terror group out of existence. In fact, it is being reported that the IDF has now “completed the encirclement of Gaza City”…
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari has said ground and tank forces have at this point surrounded Gaza City. “Our troops have completed the encirclement of Gaza City, the center of Hamas activity,” he said in a late Thursday (local) press conference. The IDF has further announced the deaths of “130 terrorists” in the latest battles.
There is no way out for the Hamas fighters that are trapped in Gaza City at this stage.
Their goal from this point forward is to stay alive in the tunnels for as long as possible as they hope for Hezbollah and Iran to join the war and save the day.
Sadly, those tunnels will end becoming tombs for many of them.
Instead of sending Israeli troops into the tunnels, the IDF is using robots and explosive devices to deal with them…
Israeli forces have deployed robots and various explosive devices to destroy Hamas tunnels and kill terrorists, according to local media.
The Walla News site in Israel said large-scale operations to clear the tunnels began in areas of the Gaza Strip now under the control of the IDF.
A senior officer in the Southern Command told the outlet: “Maybe at first they were able to harass us, sting us by firing from tunnel exits, but after we established control of the areas, the engineering operation started.”
He added: “We are going to collapse the entrances and the tunnels on them. It will become a death zone. They made a mistake, they chose to be in a place they could not escape from. They will die in the tunnels.”
Can you imagine being trapped in an underground tunnel with no way out? I suppose that they could try digging, but those tunnels are very deep. Of course Hamas terrorists should not expect any mercy after what they did on October 7th. One Hamas terrorist has admitted on camera that he shot innocent young children…
In the six-minute interrogation tape, the terrorist calmly describes murdering young children hiding in a safe room.
“We heard sounds of young children,” he said. “The cries of young children. A young child, something like that.”
“I shot and Abu Kamil shot. We shot at the door,” he added. “Until we didn’t hear noise anymore.”
And one Israeli first responder is telling the world that he personally saw an Israeli baby that had been “baked to death in an oven”…
An Israeli first responder to the October 7 terror attack has claimed that Hamas terrorists roasted a baby in an oven in shocking video testimony.
Asher Moskowitz, of the United Hatzalah first responder group, published a video of himself speaking to a camera, delivering his witness account.
In it, he claims he saw the remains of a baby who had been baked to death in an oven at kibbutz Kfar Aza, where more than 100 civilians were killed.
The atrocities that were committed on October 7th should never be forgotten, and the Israelis have established a brand new website in order to “document the horrors of that day”.
But there are still many in the western world that are attempting to deny what happened. Or they are trying to blame Israel for what happened.
It truly is sickening.
Look, a top Hamas official even went on television recently and publicly admitted what they did and said that they would do it again and again if given the opportunity…
A senior political official in the Palestinian Hamas terror organization told Lebanese television last week that the group intends to repeat its October 7 terror attack until Israel is annihilated.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translated the interview. In it, Hamas political official Ghazi Hamad says that attacks on Israeli civilians are justified; that the cost in terms of Palestinian “martyrs” is worth the ultimate goal of ending Israel; and that Hamas will continue to mount such attacks.
Israel simply cannot allow Hamas to exist any longer.
And most Americans would almost certainly feel the same way if it was American children that were butchered, American women that were raped and American grandmothers that were kidnapped.
Unfortunately, coverage by the mainstream media is steadily becoming more pro-Hamas by the day.
In fact, even CNN is openly admitting that the mainstream media is becoming more critical of Israel…
News organizations are assuming a more aggressive posture toward Israel Defense Forces as it escalates its military operations in the Gaza Strip.
While civilian deaths mount and the humanitarian crisis grows more severe in the Palestinian territory, spokespersons for Israel’s military are being confronted by anchors on live television, pressed to answer for the deaths of innocent families caught in the heavy crossfire.
The more critical stance has been particularly pronounced over the last 24 hours, following two blasts at the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza, which was established in 1948 when Palestinians fled what is now the current state of Israel.
They are trying to turn the Israelis into the bad guys. But it is not going to work.The whole world clearly saw what Hamas did on October 7th.
And now that the IDF has completely encircled Gaza City, the end is near for the vast majority of the Hamas terrorists that are hiding in those tunnels.

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
