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.

The Latest From @MacTaskForce
Israel says that Hamas moved tens of millions of dollars to its military wing over the past year. These funds could have been used to care for civilians but were diverted to build weapons, pay terrorists, and sustain terror infrastructure instead.
The revelation comes after a key Hamas financial figure, Abd al-Hai Zakout, was eliminated by Israel.
Hamas continues to neglect its own population while global institutions legitimize this behavior by treating the terror group like a legitimate governing authority. When a group repeatedly chooses terror, its actions must be named clearly for what they are.
Christmas in Israel: free, proud, and joyful.
In Nazareth, the birthplace of Christianity, an Arab Christian youth group dances openly in celebration of Christmas, surrounded by community, music, and light. No fear. No intimidation. Just faith, culture, and joy.
Merry Christmas from the kids of Nazareth. 🎄✝️
A disturbing video out of Brussels shows anti-Israel protestors demonstrating outside of a Christmas market, a festive public space traditionally meant for joy, community, and celebration.
They’ve made Christmas a stage for hostile chants and intimidation.
Christmas markets should be safe spaces for families, friends, and visitors from all backgrounds, not arenas for political aggression and anti-Israel outbursts.
Australia’s pain continues.
On Christmas morning in Melbourne, a Rabbi’s car, decorated for Hanukkah, was targeted in a firebomb attack in what authorities are treating as an antisemitic incident. The Rabbi, who has requested to remain anonymous, and his family were shaken but not injured.
This was another deliberate attack on Jewish life and Jewish tradition, carried out on a day meant for peace and goodwill. This incident, which occurred just 11 days after the Bondi massacre, exposes how deep antisemitic sentiment has grown in Australia.
Jewish communities deserve safety, dignity, and protection. Acts like this remind us why we must stay vigilant, demand accountability, and confront hatred wherever it appears.
Australian authorities allege that Martin Glynn possessed a bomb-making list, firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and flags of Hezbollah and Hamas while publicly praising the Bondi massacre. This is what radicalization looks like when it moves from ideology to preparation.
Extremist propaganda and weapons caches are dangerous signs of a future attack. When these warnings are ignored, innocent lives are put at risk.
We must take terror glorification seriously, before the next attack can ever be carried out.
This Christmas Eve, Maccabee Task Force stands with persecuted Christians all over the world.
In recent months alone, Nigerian Christians have been brutally targeted and massacred in waves of extremist violence, with entire families wiped out, churches destroyed, and entire villages terrorized.
Faith should never be a death sentence. The same extremist ideologies that target Jews also target Christians and many other minority groups.
Standing against persecution is not selective, it is a moral obligation.
Two men have been found guilty of plotting a mass-casualty terrorist attack targeting hundreds of Jewish people in Manchester, in a case that lays bare the very real threat Jewish communities continue to face all over the world.
Walid Saadaoui and Amar Hussein were convicted for their roles in planning the attack. A third individual, Bilel Saadaoui, was arrested and charged for failing to report the terror conspiracy, despite knowing about the plan.
This was a deliberate, organized plot to carry out terrorism against Jews in the UK, only stopped because of intelligence, law enforcement, and vigilance.
Cases like this are a stark reminder that antisemitism today is not abstract. It manifests in real plans to harm Jews. Jewish communities deserve protection before attacks occur, not excuses after tragedy strikes.
Palestinian researcher Hani al-Masri, Director General of Masarat, the Palestinian Center for Policy Research and Strategic Studies, has openly defended the Palestinian Authority’s practice of financially compensating the families of terrorists.
This is the reality of the PA’s “pay-for-slay” policy: the belief that those who murder Jews are “heroic pillars of Palestinian identity.” It is not social welfare. It is not resistance. It is the institutional glorification and incentivization of terror.
When murder is rewarded, violence is encouraged. When that system is defended by so-called policy experts, it exposes just how deeply terrorism is embedded in the social fabric.
This is why clarity matters. Calling terror what it is and refusing to excuse it, is essential to protecting innocent lives.
