The Latest From @MacTaskForce
One year after the Boulder firebombing that fatally wounded 82-year-old Karen Diamond and injured many others at a peaceful march for hostages held by Hamas, UC Boulder’s SJP chapter chose not to mourn the victims or condemn the attack.
Instead, the group published a now-deleted statement expressing solidarity with Mohamed Sabry Soliman, describing his attack as “direct action.” The statement framed violence against peaceful hostage advocates as a form of resistance.
This is not activism. It is the glorification of antisemitic violence.
Jewish students should not have to share campuses with student groups that justify attacks on Jews and hostage advocates as political “resistance.”
Universities and student communities must draw a clear line: violence, intimidation, and terror glorification have no place on campus.
Dr. Emmanuel Moss, chief heart surgeon at Montreal’s Jewish General Hospital, is reportedly leaving Quebec, with rising antisemitism in Montreal cited as a major factor in his decision.
Dr. Moss is one of Canada’s leading cardiac surgeons, specializing in robotic cardiac procedures. His departure is a painful reminder that antisemitism does not only threaten Jewish safety, it weakens the communities, institutions, and public services that depend on Jewish talent, leadership, and contribution.
Jewish communities deserve to feel safe, valued, and welcome in every city they call home.
The father of Druze IDF soldier Bahaa Abed has been walking the streets of Israel, handing out memorial stickers to soldiers and civilians alike in honor of his son’s memory.
Since Bahaa’s tragic passing in a vehicular accident, these stickers have become a small but powerful way to ensure his legacy lives on.
Heroes are remembered not only through monuments, but through the people who refuse to let their names be forgotten. 🇮🇱

IDF Sgt. Oron Shaul was killed during combat in Gaza in July 2014. Instead of allowing his family to mourn and bury him, Hamas terrorists seized his body and held it for more than a decade as a bargaining chip. His remains were finally recovered by Israel in January 2025 after years of efforts to bring him home.
Now, one of those responsible is finally facing justice.
According to Israeli authorities, Hamas operative Ibrahim Hilo of Hamas’ Shati Battalion will soon be indicted for his role in concealing and holding Oron Shaul’s body for nearly ten years. Investigators say information obtained during his interrogation was instrumental in locating the remains and bringing Oron home.
After ten years, Oron Shaul was finally returned to Israel. Now, one of the terrorists responsible will answer for his crimes.
At the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York City, Emirati political analyst Amjad Taha reminded the audience that the Islamic Republic of Iran launched thousands of drones and missiles at his country at the start of the Iran war, targeting civilian areas including mosques and hospitals.
He then highlighted how the “activists” who are so eager to protest when Israel launches missiles, were completely silent during and after Iran’s attack.
Many of the voices that are loudest when condemning Israel had little to say when the Iranian regime’s aggression threatened innocent civilians across the region.
Lebanese MP Camille Dory Chamoun went on a Lebanese news show and lauded the extraordinary measures Israel takes to warn civilians before carrying out military operations.
In a region where terrorist groups routinely embed military infrastructure in civilian populations, protecting innocent lives amidst conflict remains one of the most difficult challenges.
Speaking the truth, providing context, and conveying the on-the-ground reality matters more than ever in a world where lies and disinformation pervade social media.
A new chapter in Israel–Fiji relations just began!🇮🇱🇫🇯
Fiji’s Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, alongside Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Sa’ar, announced deepening diplomatic partnership between the countries built on shared values, mutual respect, and a commitment to cooperation.
At a time when meaningful international partnerships matter more than ever, it’s encouraging to see ties between these two democracies continue to grow stronger.

“We are not your enemy.” 🇮🇱🕊️🇱🇧
In a message to the Lebanese people, Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter professed empathy for their suffering, but emphasized that it’s not Israel, but Hezbollah who causes their pain.
While ordinary Israelis and Lebanese want safety, opportunity, and peace, Hezbollah has repeatedly dragged Lebanon into conflict, weakened its future, and put civilians on both sides of the border at risk.
The people of Lebanon deserve better than a terrorist organization that speaks in their name while endangering their lives.
