Maccabee Task Force - We Combat Antisemitism on Campuses

The Latest From @MacTaskForce

Broadcaster, former politician, and founding Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission in Great Britain, Trevor Phillips, addressed what so many are trying to ignore.

Jews are being attacked in Britain right now merely because they are Jews and the people denying that are justifying persecution.
A graduation stage should be a place of unity, not a platform for political messaging that ignores reality.

At the University of Michigan, a professor called on graduates to “sing for pro-Palestinian activists,” despite a year marked by reports of harassment and hostility targeting Jewish students on campus.

Celebrating ‘activism’ without acknowledging its basis in double standards sends a message to Jewish students that they don’t deserve recognition, safety, or respect.
While guiding 40 Jewish teenagers through Auschwitz, Rabbi Doron Birnbaum received news of the terror attack against Jews in his neighborhood yesterday. London’s Golders Green was also the victim of the recent arson attack against Hatzola ambulances.

Rabbi Birnbaum reflected on the deeply personal experience of fearing for the lives of your family members after a terror attack against Jews.

The students were learning about Holocaust history. This terrifying experience reflects an unacceptable reality.
A U.S. Army soldier stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana, has been charged after allegedly making antisemitic threats on Discord in which he said, “I am going to walk into a synagogue with my AK...and I am going to kill every single Jew...” The DOJ says the FBI investigated after a tip and arrested him on April 23. 

This is the reality of antisemitism in America: threats serious enough to trigger federal charges are becoming more and more common. Jewish communities deserve protection, accountability, and a society that treats threats against synagogues with absolute seriousness.
Duke University acknowledged that SJP’s online content alluded to antisemitic tropes, and still chose to reverse the group’s suspension.

According to the Duke Chronicle, a University official explained in a letter to SJP, “The post, while offensive, in that it alludes to antisemitic tropes, does not violate the Policy on Prohibited Discrimination, Harassment and Related Misconduct [PPDHRM] because there was insufficient information to support the existence of a hostile educational environment.”

The post in question contained a decades old illustration depicting two pigs standing nose-to-nose, holding hands, with one pig’s sleeve labeled “US Imperialism”, and the other’s labeled “Zionism”.
UNWRA indoctrination: is it still happening?

UN Watch has shared video footage reportedly showing a student at an UNRWA school speaking 2024. According to the translation, the student advocates violence against Jews and glorifies martyrdom.

Instead of learning to uphold peace and coexistence as fundamental values, many Palestinian children are being radicalized by the very institutions that are supposed to help them.
Yet another Gaza flotilla attempted to breach Israel’s naval blockade and its participants were detained by Israeli authorities.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry later shared footage showing some of the ‘activists’ engaging in recreational gymnastics aboard the Israeli vessel after being taken into custody. 

The point of the Gaza flotillas isn’t actually to help Palestinians, it’s to propagate media narratives against Israel.

This video shows a snippet of the reality.
The UN just selected Iran to be one of 34 vice president nations at the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty review conference which is set to begin on April 27th, a decision that sparked immediate backlash from multiple member states. 

The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly been accused of violating nuclear commitments, openly teaches genocidal dogma against Israel, America, and the West at large, and yet is now being granted the privilege of heading a conference about stopping nuclear threats. 

You can’t make this stuff up.
