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.

Thousands filled the streets of Toronto in a powerful show of solidarity with the people of Iran.
Iranians and allies marched side by side to demand freedom for civilians who have lived under a brutal, violent, and oppressive regime for 47 years, a regime that controls daily life through fear, imprisonment, and force.
March is like this represent the entire world standing with the people who are risking everything to reclaim their dignity, voices, and future.
The message from Toronto was clear: the world is watching, the people of Iran are not alone, and the Ayatollah and his regime will not last.
A suspect has been arrested after an arson attack damaged parts of Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi, the state’s largest synagogue.
Jewish holy spaces were burned, and Torah scrolls were damaged in the fire.
Mississippi officials have rightly condemned this as a targeted attack on religious freedom and public safety, though it remains unclear whether the suspect will be charged for a hate crime.
This is what unchecked antisemitism in our communities looks like when it crawls out from behind its keyboard and turns into real-world threat.
Jewish communities deserve protection, and silence is not an option.
Music is resistance against oppression, it represents both solidarity and strength for ALL people of the Middle East.
Israeli singer @nofar_batat performs a powerful song by Persian rapper Shervin Hajipour @shervinine, an Iranian artist and a longtime voice of protest against Iran’s brutal regime. This is an act of solidarity between the people of Israel and the people of Iran.
For 47 years, the Islamic Republic has ruled through repression, fear, and violence against its own civilians. But culture, courage, and shared humanity cannot be silenced.
Israelis and Iranians stand together against the tyranny of Iran’s regime.
Freedom and peace has many voices today, and they’re crossing borders. 🇮🇱🦁☀️
A powerful crack in the regime’s armor.
A member of Iran’s Basij militia publicly refused to serve the Islamic Republic burning his military ID and calling on others to stay home, defect, and refuse orders to murder their own people.
This is what courage looks like from within a dictatorship.
Every defection weakens a regime that survives only through fear and violence. When soldiers refuse to turn their weapons on civilians, the path to freedom grows wider.
The world is watching. Stand with those who choose humanity over tyranny.
Thousands of Iranians murdered.
Columbia University’s quad:
Columbia is silent. No Jews No News.
If Americans truly want to stand with the Iranian people, we must demand our government invest immediately in connectivity to Iran.
Satellite internet and direct-to-cell technology are critical tools of freedom. When Iranians can stay connected, the world can see the truth and the regime loses its most powerful weapon: silence.
In 2019, after the Women, Life, Freedom protests erupted, the regime shut down Iran’s internet. In the darkness that followed, 1,500 innocent civilians were murdered during the blackout. They were unseen, unheard, and unprotected.
We cannot allow that to happen again.
The U.S. must help bring Iran back online so the regime cannot disappear its people in the shadows. Connection saves lives because global visibility brings freedom.
In the heart of Times Square, a message the world needs to see in 2026:
United against terror. United in freedom.
The bond between the United States and Israel is rooted in shared democratic values, a commitment to liberty, and a refusal to surrender to terror and extremism. From New York to Jerusalem, free societies stand stronger when they stand together.
This isn’t just a statement, it’s an explanation of Western values.
Israel and the U.S. will always stand against terror, and for freedom.
Incredible videos emerging from Iran show extraordinary civilian defiance against a regime that has ruled through fear, torture, and executions since 1979.
Iranians are risking everything to confront the infrastructure of their oppression from state propaganda outlets to the so-called “morality police” (IRGC headquarters) sending a clear message that they reject the brutality of the Islamic Republic and its grip on their lives.
This same regime is the financial and ideological engine behind terror groups that have targeted Israel for years and continue to threaten regional and global stability. Iran’s oppression at home and its violence abroad are inseparable.
If the courage and coordination of ordinary Iranians can finally bring an end to Ali Khamenei’s rule, the Middle East, and the world, would look profoundly safer and freer.
History shows that regimes built on fear eventually fall.
We pray for the safety of the Iranian people, first and foremost.
