You may have heard discussions across media platforms for years about Hamas using their civilians as “human shields.”
The term “human shields” describes the strategy of terrorists who place innocent civilians between them and the line of fire to protect themselves or their weapons stashes. The strategy is a win-win for the terrorists because if someone fires on them, “innocent people” die, which creates an international uproar. On the other hand, if Israeli forces abort the mission to prevent the death of “innocents”, the terrorists and their property remain safe.
The full truth, however, is actually even more brutal. -
Shame is a language the Middle East understands well. That is why HOW Israel took out so many Hezbollah terrorists including its leader Nasrallah - matters.

Imagine a world where secrets are the core of your identity, where only a chosen few truly know the mysteries of your beliefs. This is the world of the Druze, one of the most mysterious religious communities on earth. The Druze faith is so secretive that only its top spiritual leaders have ever known its deepest truths, and no one today can convert to become a Druze. No one. It’s a religion that guards its inner workings fiercely, making it both fascinating and elusive.

When it comes to similarities, Druze, like Jews, havehistorically been loyal to the nation where they live.Wherever Jews were exiled, they learned the local language and found ways to assimilate culturally into their new society—without losing their own identity

If you’re reading this, you likely live in a free country. A land where, at least according to the laws, you are free to think for yourself and believe what you want without threat of imprisonment or death. These freedom must be fought for in each generation, and one of the most important ways to fight is for each generation to learn the truths of God’s Word as our guide in times of confusion. That is why this month’s Maoz Israel Report you will hear so much scripture where God reiterates over generations what He plans for Israel- from the promised land to the banishment to the return and restoration to Him.
Once you see this how clear God is on this topic, you will not be easily swayed by catchy phrases and dramatic news stories. God has spoken. God will fulfill.

Rather than shifting our focus to end time conversation, she encourages us to keep our eyes on God and the work at hand.
Shani thanks those supporting Maoz, giving Jewish believers a voice and a way to help on the ground in a way that matters and sees the future of Israel.

In this month’s feature article in the Maoz Israel Report Shani Ferguson discusses the backdoor to your faith.
There’s a reason why thieves go for the backdoor of a home. They know the front door is reinforced and designed to keep out unwanted people. But it’s the backdoor that makes us vulnerable.
The same goes for our beliefs. There are ideas we hold solidly in our hearts:
God is good.
He is Holy.
He is the Beginning and the End.
He is a God of Covenant who always keeps His promises.
He never fails and He never changes.
So, may I ask, if there is no doubt about God keeping His promises to every one of His followers, why is there such confusion when it comes to God keeping His promises to Israel?
Simply put, the backdoor… - Show more
