Help Defend Israel
Join the Maccabee Task Force!
The Maccabee Task Force was founded in 2015 to help Jewish and pro-Israel students fight back against the rising tide of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism on America’s college campuses. Our core aim is to dispel dangerous misinformation about Israel that percolates throughout academia by building coalitions with powerful student communities that work to change the narrative about Israel and better the environment for Jewish students on the college campus. We accomplish this through a trip to Israel for the most influential non-Jewish students on each of our 75 partner campuses as well as through supplementary programming designed to continue to foster the relationships forged on the trips.

A Venezuelan woman cuts through the absurdity of yet another lazy smear blaming “Zionist occupation” for Venezuela’s situation following the arrest of dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Let’s be clear: Venezuela has over 1 million people of Arab ethnicity and around 5,000 Jews. There is no “Zionist occupation.” There is only a familiar tactic: scapegoating Jews to deflect from corruption, tyranny, and governmental failure.
Swapping “Jews” for “Zionists” doesn’t make the lie smarter, it makes it more dangerous. This dog-whistle fuels hatred, excuses authoritarianism, and puts Jewish communities everywhere at risk.
Enough with the lies and the scapegoating.
The silence is deafening.
Across campuses, the same student groups that rushed to the streets after October 7th, to mourn victims but falsely condemn Israel, are nowhere to be found when it comes to Iran.
For 47 years, the Iranian people have lived under a genocidal Islamist regime that kidnaps dissidents, executes protesters, murders children, and crushes women for demanding basic freedom. Today, Iranians are risking everything to liberate their country.
College campuses have experienced: no sit-ins, no marches, no encampments, and no “urgent” student statements
Why?
Because the Iranian regime funds, arms, and ideologically fuels the very terror organizations these “activists” have applauded.
Speaking out against Tehran would go against their agenda to dismantle the West.
The Iranian people deserve freedom. The world’s students should be demanding it loudly.
Free Iran. Now.
Hamas captivity survivor David Cunio exposes another layer of cruelty used by terrorists: psychological torture.
During his captivity, Hamas fed him poisonous lies meant to break his spirit, telling him “his wife wasn’t fighting for him” and that “she was with someone else.” These were not random taunts. They were calculated attempts to erase hope, fracture families, and weaponize love itself.
This is what Hamas does: lie, manipulate, and dehumanize alongside their physical terror. David’s testimony is a reminder that the trauma of captivity doesn’t end at the cell door, and that the truth must continually be told.
Israelis, many of them of Iranian background, took to the streets of the Jewish state in a powerful show of solidarity with the Iranian people’s fight for freedom.
These voices carried a shared message: the people of Israel stand with the people of Iran, not with the regime that terrorizes them.
This is what solidarity looks like: people uniting across borders, cultures, and histories, to demand dignity, liberty, and a free Iran.
US Senator Lindsey Graham met with the crown prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi to deliver a message to the long suffering Iranian people that “help is on the way”
The world is beginning to listen. The Iranian people are not alone.
An Iranian music artist, Meraj Tehrani, has escaped to Turkey, and his message about the situation inside Iran is terrifying.
He describes a brutal reality: the Islamic regime is “killing everybody,” “killing people’s children,” and silencing an entire generation through fear, and political violence.
The Iranian regime is even keeping the bodies of protesters, and demanding a ransom of thousands of dollars to release them to their families. Meraj’s warning is clear and urgent: only foreign help matters now.
Artists are risking everything to speak the truth because the regime is doing everything it can to hide it. The world must listen, and act.
Stand with the Iranian people to expose the regime’s crimes. Help Iran break free.
A source in Iran, relying on numbers from activist groups tracking the death toll, reported to CBS that at least 12,000 and up to 20,000 brave Iranian protesters may have been murdered in cold blood by the oppressive regime.
CBS has not independently verified this number but because of the blackout, it’s worth reporting.
For 47 years the Iranian regime has ruled through fear, executions, disappearances, and mass violence against its own people.
Silence is complicity, and the world must stop looking away. Tell your friends to pay attention.
Stand with the Iranian people against the murderous regime that’s killing them. Freedom will come when the Iranian people establish a true liberal democracy.
The Iranian regime claimed that 16-year-old Sarina Esmailzadeh took her own life after attending a protest in 2022. Her family knows this is a lie.
Sarina was a teenager whose only “crime” was demanding freedom and dignity in a country ruled by fear. Like so many other young Iranians, her death was followed by a false narrative meant to erase responsibility and silence the truth.
This is how authoritarian regimes operate: they kill, then rewrite reality. The world must listen to families, not propaganda, and demand accountability for every stolen life.
Sarina’s voice matters. The heroic bravery of Iran’s youth will never be forgotten.
