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.

“All Canadian students must watch this.”
At Concordia University, students are doing what too many campuses refuse to do: standing up for the Iranian people and fighting for them inside student government.
While others stay silent or excuse tyranny, these students are confronting a brutal regime that has spent 47 years imprisoning, torturing, and murdering its own people for demanding freedom.
This is what student leadership moral courage on campus looks like. Students everywhere should take notes.

Iran’s regime has imposed complete digital isolation on its people. Almost all foreign media outlets are unable to report from within Iran amid the blackout. Yet, Al Jazeera continues to broadcast live from inside the country.
Al Jazeera is not independent media. It is a Qatar-controlled state outlet, and Qatar has deep political and strategic ties to the Iranian regime. No doubt it’s allowed to keep broadcasting, because it’s willing to disseminate pro-regime propaganda.
Dictatorships fear cameras in the hands of their people, but welcome cameras they can control.
The Iranian people deserve real visibility, not regime-approved narratives.

Even a storm couldn’t stop them.
Thousands braved a Toronto snowstorm to stand in solidarity with the people of Iran, who continue to risk their lives every day for freedom.
While the Iranian regime responds to peaceful protest with bullets, prisons, and executions, people around the world are refusing to look away.
This is what solidarity looks like.

UCLA stood up for freedom.
Students and community members marched on campus to stand with the people of Iran as they continue their courageous fight against a brutal, genocidal regime that has ruled through fear, executions, and repression for 47 years.
While the Iranian people risk everything for basic human rights, too many voices on campus remain silent. Today, UCLA showed that solidarity still exists and that freedom, democracy, and human dignity are worth defending everywhere.
Free Iran. Stand with those who refuse to live under tyranny.

Today would have been Kfir Bibas’ third birthday.
He never got to celebrate his first, because at 10 months old, he was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7th.
He was murdered a few weeks later in Hamas captivity in Gaza. We will never forget, and never stop reminding the world about the innocent Israeli lives stolen by terror. 🧡🕯️
A Venezuelan woman cuts through the absurdity of yet another lazy smear blaming “Zionist occupation” for Venezuela’s situation following the arrest of dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Let’s be clear: Venezuela has over 1 million people of Arab ethnicity and around 5,000 Jews. There is no “Zionist occupation.” There is only a familiar tactic: scapegoating Jews to deflect from corruption, tyranny, and governmental failure.
Swapping “Jews” for “Zionists” doesn’t make the lie smarter, it makes it more dangerous. This dog-whistle fuels hatred, excuses authoritarianism, and puts Jewish communities everywhere at risk.
Enough with the lies and the scapegoating.
The silence is deafening.
Across campuses, the same student groups that rushed to the streets after October 7th, to mourn victims but falsely condemn Israel, are nowhere to be found when it comes to Iran.
For 47 years, the Iranian people have lived under a genocidal Islamist regime that kidnaps dissidents, executes protesters, murders children, and crushes women for demanding basic freedom. Today, Iranians are risking everything to liberate their country.
College campuses have experienced: no sit-ins, no marches, no encampments, and no “urgent” student statements
Why?
Because the Iranian regime funds, arms, and ideologically fuels the very terror organizations these “activists” have applauded.
Speaking out against Tehran would go against their agenda to dismantle the West.
The Iranian people deserve freedom. The world’s students should be demanding it loudly.
Free Iran. Now.
Hamas captivity survivor David Cunio exposes another layer of cruelty used by terrorists: psychological torture.
During his captivity, Hamas fed him poisonous lies meant to break his spirit, telling him “his wife wasn’t fighting for him” and that “she was with someone else.” These were not random taunts. They were calculated attempts to erase hope, fracture families, and weaponize love itself.
This is what Hamas does: lie, manipulate, and dehumanize alongside their physical terror. David’s testimony is a reminder that the trauma of captivity doesn’t end at the cell door, and that the truth must continually be told.
