(WND)—The Hanukkah terror attack in Sydney, Australia, leaving at least 12 dead and dozens wounded this weekend is bringing renewed focus on calls to “globalize the intifada” with more anti-Semitic attacks.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement Sunday, saying: “The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Australia targeting a Jewish celebration.
“Antisemitism has no place in this world. Our prayers are with the victims of this horrific attack, the Jewish community, and the people of Australia.”
Meanwhile, Ellie Cohanim, former U.S. deputy envoy to combat anti-Semitism, told Fox News: “This what globalize the intifada means. We are all witnessing what, for two years, have been allowed to run rampant by too many governments around the world, in particular the Australian government which has really allowed anti-Semitism to fester on its soil.
“And the end result is exactly what we’re seeing today which is a terror attack on Jews celebrating the holiday of Hanukkah and so many civilians left dead in a mass-casualty event. All of this could be avoided if the Australian government had made it loud and clear from the outset immediately after the October 7th attack on Israel which is that it’s not open season on the Jews. Anti-Semitism will not be tolerated. That they won’t allow intifada to be globalized onto Australian soil.

“And it’s incredibly important for our viewers to understand that when for all these leftists governments for the last two years, the Biden administration, the United States, when they allow these calls for jihad to spread, when they demonize Israel and Jews all around the world, this is end result is that Jewish blood gets spilled.
“And I want to say that I am grateful to Secretary Rubio for his immediate statement that he put out in sympathy with the local Australian community in condemning this terror attack. I hope that Secretary Rubio will have a tough phone call with his Australian counterpart demanding changes in the government’s policies there to now hold the terror groups on their soil accountable and to now have policies instituted that actually protect their local Jewish community.”

Cohanim explained: “The entire point is to make it impossible for Jews to be Jewish, to celebrate our holidays, to celebrate Judaism. Something similar happened in the United States in California this weekend where a Jewish home that was decorated for Hanukkah just like many people will decorate homes for Christmas, that house was shot up with 20 bullets. So it’s really important for all of us here in the United States to understand that again these calls for globalizing the intifada, the demonization of Israel and Jews has led to the point where I know that there are Hanukkah candle-lighting ceremonies all across America tonight and the next eight days and people are going to be scared.
“Your Jewish neighbors are going to be really worried about whether there will be copycat attacks, whether we can continue to be Jewish publicly, whether we can celebrate our holidays publicly. And so that’s why it’s incredibly important for all of our government officials to be clear-sighted and to be loud right now about the fact that they do stand with Jewish community, that we will not tolerate anti-Semitism anywhere in the world, and the Jewish Americans who for sure are really scared about whether they can be publicly Jewish in Australia, in California and New York.”
DOESN’T EVEN MENTION THAT IT WAS A JEWISH EVENT
What a shameful disgrace!

She blamed mass migration of Muslims across the world for the recent attacks.
“People are indoctrinated from birth to hate Jews and often to hate Christians,” Cohanim said. “Ultimately what happens is that you’re importing into your own shores people with hateful ideologies.”
“The trend lines are not good and only getting worse,” she added. The Trump administration is taking really strong actions to just combat anti-Semitism.”
“Every society that allows anti-Semitism to flourish eventually self-destructs.
“And it is in our own self interest to take every aggressive action … to stop the anti-Semitism that has been allowed to flourish since Oct. 7 on their shores.”

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.
