The Latest From @MacTaskForce
Federal prosecutors have unsealed charges against eight pro-Palestinian activists associated with the University of Michigan, alleging they conspired to intimidate university officials, police, businesses, and the Jewish Federation of Detroit in an effort to pressure the university to cut financial ties connected to Israel.
According to the indictment, the campaign included threats, vandalism, and targeted acts meant to create fear and coerce institutional action.
Political protest is protected. Threats and intimidation are not.
Jewish students and communities should never be forced to live under threat because extremists believe criminal behavior is justified.
Accountability matters, and so does calling hatred what it is.
Congressman Jared Moskowitz is cosponsoring bipartisan legislation aimed at strengthening protections for Jewish students, Jewish institutions, and Jewish communities at a time of rising antisemitic threats and violence.
The Jewish American Security Act would increase support for campus protections, strengthen enforcement against antisemitic harassment and discrimination, and expand security resources for Jewish institutions facing real-world threats.
Jewish students deserve to learn openly and safely, without fear of intimidation, harassment, or violence.
Protecting them should not be controversial.
An immigration judge has ordered the deportation of Columbia anti-Israel activist Mohsen Mahdawi to Jordan, though he has already appealed the decision.
Mahdawi, who co-founded Columbia’s Palestinian Student Union and played a major role in the campus protests, has lived in the US for more than a decade and was reportedly close to gaining citizenship when the Trump administration detained him last year.
Lord Ian Austin raised an essential point about the extraordinary double standard applied to Israel in the UK Parliament. While Britain faces major challenges domestically, Parliament has spent a wildly disproportionate amount of time fixating on the world’s only Jewish state in a way that is plainly out of step with reality.
Israel is being singled out, judged by standards applied to no other country, and falsely accused of unique evil, and this fuels the antisemitism that British Jews are now facing in daily life.
Rep. Brian Mast spoke out against continued U.S. support for UNRWA after a new investigation by the U.S. Agency for International Development inspector general’s office found that 101 additional UNRWA staff members, including educators, were identified as having participated in the October 7 attacks.
He explained that an organization whose own staff aided and abetted terrorists should not receive the world’s trust and funding.
UNRWA is increasingly coming to be viewed as one of the clearest examples of what happens when corruption, radicalization, and institutional failure are allowed to fester under the banner of humanitarianism.
Dr. Phil is using his platform to remind people that blood libel against Jews isn’t some medieval relic. It’s one of the oldest and most poisonous forms of anti-Jewish hatred, but it continues to reappear as grotesque, dehumanizing lies about Jews are repackaged for modern audiences.
By pushing back on the infamous NYT opinion piece by Nicholas Kristof and explaining the history of blood libel, he’s helping expose how dangerous these narratives are. Too many people are still unaware of the history of antisemitism and how it manifests.
These lies are designed specifically to inflame hatred, justify violence, and make the Jewish people seem uniquely evil. Education, and calling out these poisonous falsehoods, is vital to making a better world.
Dr. Zachias Moonde Muulu, a pediatric heart surgeon from Zambia, appeared on The Anchor Podcast to share how training with Israel’s Save a Child’s Heart is helping him bring lifesaving cardiac care to children far away from Israel.
His story is a powerful reminder that Israel’s impact is not only measured in innovation, but in human lives saved. Through medical training, partnership, and humanitarian care, programs like Save a Child’s Heart are creating ripple effects across continents.
Dr. Muulu’s decision to remain in Israel and continue to serve during one of its most difficult periods speaks to the depth of that connection, and to the values of compassion, courage, and service that transcend borders.

According to a report by the Washington Free Beacon, a new investigation by the U.S. Agency for International Development inspector general’s office has identified 101 additional UNRWA employees who took part in Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack, including teachers, school principals, and other education staff.
For years, numerous concerns have been raised about Hamas’s infiltration of institutions in Gaza, especially those affiliated with the UN. Oversight, accountability, and the security of the very systems meant to provide humanitarian aid and education are called into question by this report.
Humanitarian organizations cannot fulfill their missions if terrorists are allowed to operate within their ranks. Every new revelation makes it harder to dismiss the urgent need for meaningful reform.
