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.

At the Policy Exchange think tank in London, Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police Sir Stephen Watson spoke to the exceptional threat the Jewish community faces in the United Kingdom.
“Jewish children are the only children in our country who day-to-day go to school behind large fences, guarded by [heavy security], and where there are routine police patrols in and around those areas.”
Let that sink in. Because of antisemitism, Jewish children require a higher level of security at their schools than any other children in the United Kingdom.
This is what unchecked hatred looks like. This is what happens when antisemitism is minimized, excused, or tolerated under any banner.
Protecting Jewish children should not be a security exception, it should be a moral baseline that Jewish children are just as safe as other children.

President Isaac Herzog cut through the hypocrisy of double standards against Israel.
When Israel defense itself against a genocidal terrorist group, the outrage is instant, loud, and global. But then when Iran’s regime jails, shoots, tortures, and disappears its own people?
Silence. The ‘activists’ calendars suddenly become full.
No campus sit-ins outside Iranian embassies. No trending slogans when a regime beats its population into submission.
The double standard isn’t accidental, it’s ideological. If so-called ‘human rights’ movements can mobilize against Israel overnight, it can mobilize for Iranian women, students, and protesters. The problem is that these movements support despotic regimes like the one in Iran.
Israel is judged by impossible standards, while the genocidal Iranian regime is given a pass as it murders its own citizens in the streets.
Raha Bohlulipour was just 19 years old.
She studied Italian in Tehran, dreamed of the world beyond repression, and believed in something simple and profound: life itself. Raha was killed by Iranian security forces for one reason only, she demanded freedom.
Before she was murdered, Raha once wrote words that now echo with heartbreaking clarity:
“I am a big fan of life.”
The Islamic Republic answered that love of life with bullets.
Raha is one of countless young Iranians whose futures have been stolen by a regime that survives by silencing its youth. Her story is not an exception, it is the norm under a system that fears educated, curious, freedom-seeking young people.
We will stand with the Iranian people until no one is killed for loving life.
Iranian regime forces place banner outside Tehran University containing a death threat against students and protesters “Khameinei or death,” in Farsi
This is how the Islamic Republic rules: with fear, threats, and death notices.
Iranian regime forces affiliated with the IRGC have placed a banner outside Tehran University carrying a chilling message in Farsi: “Khamenei or death.” This is a direct death threat aimed at students and protesters whose only “crime” is demanding freedom, dignity, and a future without tyranny.
Universities should be places of learning and debate. In Iran, they are treated as battlegrounds where the regime openly threatens young people with execution for thinking freely.
Sanam Porbabaei was a young Iranian violinist with a future filled with music, talent, and promise.
On the very night she performed in concert, sharing hope with her community, the Iranian regime brutally murdered her.
This is what the Islamic Republic does:
It silences music made by women, it crushes creativity, and it murders young people whose only “crime” is living freely and expressing themselves.
We honor her memory by telling the truth and standing with the Iranian people as they fight to reclaim their country from a regime that fears music, freedom, and life itself.

UNRWA doesn’t just preside over classrooms that glorify terror. Multiple investigations have identified UNRWA staff as Hamas operatives, with evidence that some participated in the October 7 massacre.
Beyond staffing, Hamas has repeatedly operated from UNRWA facilities, including schools and hospitals using humanitarian cover to store weapons, plan attacks, and shield terrorists behind civilians.
UNRWA is NOT a neutral aid organization, but rather, contributes to systematic terror against Jews.
International donors and governments must put an end to any funding that enables terror under the guise of humanitarian work.

🚨 THIS IS WHAT INDOCTRINATION LOOKS LIKE 🚨
A student at an UNRWA–run school explains he’s being taught that so-called “armed resistance,” terrorism against Jews, is the only path forward. He rejects coexistence entirely and describes violence against Jews as a goal.
This is not education, it’s radicalization. When classrooms teach hatred, dehumanization, and violence, they don’t produce peace they manufacture the next generation of extremists.
UNRWA is a United Nations agency funded by the international community. Taxpayer dollars must never be used to teach children to hate or kill.
There must be immediate accountability, full transparency in curricula, and an end to any programming that glorifies terror or erases Israel.
The world must act now to stop the incitement and protect Jewish lives.
Members of the European Parliament are now openly naming the countries preventing Europe from designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization: Italy, Spain, and France.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is not a conventional military force. It’s the backbone of Iran’s global terror network and responsible for funding, training, and directing terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Delaying or blocking its designation does not preserve diplomacy. It protects a terror apparatus.
Europe must show moral clarity. The IRGC must be designated NOW. The world must rise up to protect the Iranian people.
