How Our Model Works
MTF’s Israel trips are not the finish line. They are the catalyst for long-term campus impact.
Identify
We identify influential student leaders who shape campus culture, including student government officials, journalists, faith leaders, activists, campus organization heads, and other high-impact students.
Bring to Israel
We bring them to Israel for immersive educational trips that challenge misinformation, deepen understanding, and build real relationships with Israelis, Jewish peers, and one another.
Follow Up
After students return, we maintain engagement through reunion programs, coalition-building events, mentorship opportunities, leadership development, and continued campus support.
Activate
Trip alumni, Fellows, and student allies help organize coalitions, respond to antisemitism, challenge anti-Israel campaigns, and support Jewish students when campus tensions rise.
Lead
Over time, these students become leaders in student government, campus media, professional networks, and broader civic life.
The result: MTF does not simply change minds. We build networks of students with the influence to change campus outcomes.
Our Programs
MTF is building a campus leadership infrastructure that reaches students before, during, and after the moments when antisemitism and anti-Israel activism surface on campus.
Israel Trips
MTF brings influential non-Jewish student leaders to Israel for immersive educational trips that challenge misinformation, build relationships, and help students overcome the false and malicious narratives they’re subjected to on campus.
MTF Fellows
Our Fellows are student leaders on campus who build coalitions, recruit allies, organize programming, respond to antisemitism, and help sustain student engagement beyond the trip experience.
Post-Trip Engagement
The real work begins after the trip. MTF keeps alumni engaged through reunion programs, campus events, coalition-building opportunities, leadership development, and continued support.
Mentorship & Professional Networks
MTF connects high-potential students and young alumni with Israeli and Israel-connected professionals, helping them build lasting relationships with Israel through business, law, technology, medicine, public policy, and other fields.
International Campus Work
From England to South Africa, MTF operates in some of the most challenging campus environments in the world, developing courageous student allies in places where Jewish students often face intense hostility and where non-Jewish leadership can have an outsized impact.
Alumni Engagement
MTF’s work does not end at graduation. We are building long-term pathways for star trip alumni, Fellows, and student leaders to remain connected as mentors, speakers, advocates, professionals, and future leaders.
WHAT STUDENTS SAY
“Nothing I read in the States compared to hearing directly from Israelis on the ground. The trip forced me to confront how much of my perspective had been shaped by oversimplified and misleading narratives. If you’re serious about understanding Israel as it actually is, not as it’s portrayed, you have to see it for yourself. It's an incredible place filled with people seeking peace.”
MTF reaches the students who are often least likely to attend a traditional pro-Israel campus event and gives them the opportunity to encounter Israel directly. For many participants, the trip replaces slogans and assumptions with firsthand experience, real relationships, and a more accurate understanding of Israeli society.
“My MTF Israel trip experience was genuinely life-changing and by far the most transformative trip I have ever taken. Before visiting Israel, much of my understanding came from narratives I had absorbed on campus and online. Speaking directly with Israelis and Palestinians, and seeing the realities of the region firsthand, challenged many of those assumptions and helped me understand why Israel must exist. I also met individuals who had endured hardships I could barely imagine which gave me a new perspective on resilience and gratitude. I knew I couldn’t simply leave that experience behind when I returned to campus, which is why I chose to become an MTF Fellow and stand up for the Jewish community at Hopkins”
The Latest From @MacTaskForce
In a conversation with Israeli journalist Ohad Hemo, Gazans now living in Antwerp described a reality that shatters the simplistic narratives still dominating much of the West. One said that most Gazans would leave if they had the chance. Another revealed that the Hamas commander who once interrogated him now lives freely in Belgium, holding Belgian citizenship while allegedly raising money for Hamas from Europe.
These aren’t the voices of politicians or commentators, these are the voices of everyday Gazans.
Widespread awareness of the truth starts with listening to the people whose real-life experiences inform and define the conflict.
Long before today’s global superstars, Jewish players, coaches, founders, journalists, and supporters helped shape modern soccer across Europe. Clubs like Hakoah Vienna and MTK Budapest became symbols of Jewish excellence, while visionaries like Hugo Meisl and Béla Guttmann left an enduring mark on the sport.
That legacy was nearly erased. The Nazis expelled Jewish athletes, dissolved Jewish clubs, confiscated their facilities, and murdered countless members of the Jewish sporting community in an attempt to erase Jewish contributions from public life.
They failed.
Today, Jewish and Israeli athletes continue to inspire millions, from historic clubs with deep Jewish roots to players like Manor Solomon proudly representing Israel on the world stage.
As the world celebrates soccer’s biggest event, it’s worth remembering that Jewish people played a part in helping to grow the beautiful game. ⚽🇮🇱
For more than two billion Christians, the Holy Land is the setting of some of their faith’s most sacred events.
As 2030 approaches, Israel has begun preparing to mark 2,000 years since the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River, including through a working group led by Ambassador George Deek to deepen dialogue with churches and Christian leaders around the world.
At a time when Israel is so often reduced to conflict and controversy, this milestone is a reminder of something deeper: Israel is home to sacred history, active Christian communities, and holy sites that continue to welcome pilgrims from every nation.
The anniversary will be a celebration of Christian history, and a reminder of the enduring connection between the Holy Land and billions of believers around the world. 🇮🇱✝️
The United Kingdom has announced new national-security measures targeting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iran-backed Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right.
British authorities say the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right claimed responsibility for a series of arson and vandalism attacks targeting Jewish and Israeli-linked sites in the UK, including Jewish community ambulances.
Officials also said the group’s activity was directed by Iran’s Quds Force, part of the IRGC.
The designations are part of a new UK effort to address foreign state-backed proxy activity and are expected to be brought before Parliament.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson visited the Nova Festival Exhibition in London and delivered a message that too many in the West still need to hear.
As time passes, there is a growing danger that the brutality of October 7 will be minimized, distorted, or forgotten. The Nova Exhibition confronts visitors with the human reality of Hamas’ massacre, ensuring that the victims are remembered and that history cannot be rewritten.
Preserving the truth of October 7 is essential. Memory is one of the strongest defenses against denial, distortion, and the normalization of terror.
Mubin Shaikh and Arno Michaelis once stood on what many consider to be opposite sides of the ideological spectrum, but they shared a dangerous hatred of Jews.
One is a self-described former Muslim supremacist, and the other a former white supremacist. Today, they stand together to expose how extremist ideologies, no matter their origin, often converge on the same target: the Jewish people.
Their transformation is a powerful reminder that hate can be unlearned. The strongest antidote to extremism isn’t more division, it’s the courage to reject prejudice, confront lies, and choose truth over ideology.

Saudi-American Christian Zionist Sahar Saeed welcomed the agreement between Israel and Lebanon as an opportunity for the Lebanese people to finally break free from Hezbollah’s grip.
Her message is an important reminder that some of Israel’s strongest allies come from across the Middle East, people who understand that defeating Hezbollah is not only in Israel’s interest, but in the interest of millions of Lebanese who have lived under the shadow of an Islamic Republic of Iran-backed terrorist organization for decades.
Real peace begins when courageous voices choose hope over extremism and stand for a future where both Israelis and Lebanese can live in security, freedom, and dignity.

In February 2025, two nurses in Australia appeared in a video allegedly saying they would refuse to treat Israeli patients and even kill them.
The incident shocked Jewish communities around the world because it raised a terrifying question: can Jewish and Israeli patients trust that they will receive equal care in a hospital?
Now, new reporting from The Australian, covered by The Jewish Chronicle, includes disturbing allegations from Jewish patients and healthcare workers about antisemitism in Australian medical settings, including claims that some nurses deliberately caused unnecessary pain during IV insertions.
Allegations like these must be investigated carefully, fairly, and urgently.
Every patient deserves medical care free from hatred, intimidation, or political prejudice. Antisemitism has no place in medicine, and Jewish patients should never have to hide who they are to feel safe receiving treatment.
