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.

May her memory be a blessing. 💔
We stand with her loved ones and with all the families grieving unimaginable loss.
Iranian opposition flags and Israeli flags flew side by side outside the Iranian regime’s embassy in London. The event is a powerful symbol of shared resistance to tyranny.
In the wake of the fall of Nicolás Maduro, this moment sends a clear message: oppressive regimes may cling to power, but they do not last forever.
From Tehran to Caracas, Jerusalem to London, the forces protecting freedom, democracy, and peace are stronger than fear.
Venezuelans in Florida are emotional as the grip of Nicolás Maduro’s oppressive regime begins to weaken.
For years, Maduro aligned Venezuela with dangerous powers like Iran, exporting repression while millions fled hunger and violence. What comes next is still unclear, but for many Venezuelans this moment represents long-denied hope.
Tellingly, authoritarian regimes including Qatar and Iran rushed to condemn U.S. action. When dictators defend dictators, the moral lines are clear.
Tonight, tears reflect something powerful: the possibility that tyranny does not last forever.
Entering 2026 like this… 🇮🇱
Timeless landscapes. Living history. A nation that never stops moving forward.

Iran’s people are rising up against decades of repression, economic failure, and theocratic rule.
As internal pressure intensifies, the regime may seek external confrontation to divert attention. The world should remain focused on the voices of Iranians demanding a future free from oppression.
Pro-Palestinian activists carried out a targeted act of industrial sabotage in Scotland.
A manufacturing site near Edinburgh was broken into, with equipment and IT infrastructure deliberately damaged. Messages left behind threatened escalation.
The company seems to have been targeted because it supplies parts to Israel-linked defense companies that are used in the production of F-35s.
This is not activism. It is vandalism, intimidation, and the normalization of political violence.
A quiet moment during downtime.
Two IDF soldiers play guitar while a dog listens nearby.
Calm, music, and a reminder of the human moments that exist beyond the headlines.
