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
🎥WATCH: Israeli academic Michael Ben-Gad, a professor at City St. George’s University of London had his class infiltrated by rabid anti-Israel activists.
This professor is being discriminated against and publicly harassed for his nationality. The campaign against him is even further ridiculous because the only entity currently murdering civilians in Gaza is Hamas.
Academic freedom is on the chopping block, and truth is being tested in front of our eyes. The reality is that any other professor targeted for their nationality would be immediately protected by their administration and government. Why are Israeli Jews any different?
🚨DISCRIMINATION IN SPORT🚨
Last week, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) expressed regret about Indonesia‘s decision to prevent Israeli athletes from entering the country to compete there.
International sports shouldn’t be politicized as opportunities to discriminate against nations, but instead a unifying, political event that brings people of all backgrounds together.
Ziv Aboud miraculously survived the Nova festival massacre, and fought for her partner Eliya Cohen’s release for all 505 days of his captivity.
On Tu B’Av, Israel’s commonly observed holiday of love, Ziv sat on the Tel Aviv Boardwalk alone across from a picture of Eliya, who at that moment was being tortured and starved by the Hamas terror organization.
Finally- 8 months after his release from the dark tunnels of Gaza- Ziv and Eliya are together, safe, and now engaged. May their lives be filled with only joy. 💙🫶💍
Last night Israeli President Isaac Herzog awarded the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor to Israeli-American physician and philanthropist Miriam Adelson for her lifelong contributions to the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
Her extensive efforts and activism in defense and contribution towards the Jewish State, including urging Trump to secure a deal to release the Israeli hostages, are immeasurable and inspiring.
Congratulations, Dr. Adelson! 🇮🇱🇺🇸❤️💙
Elkana Bohbot spent 738 days in the clutches of a sadistic, genocidal terror organization that stole him from his home and tortured him psychologically and physically every moment they could.
Now he’s home, he’s free, he’s safe. His journey of healing will be lifelong, but these opportunities in which he can forget for a moment about what he went through and celebrate his freedom alongside his son and dearest friends are indescribably joyful.
Am Yisrael Chai.❤️
Bipin Joshi’s remains were finally returned to his homeland this past weekend. Monday night in Bhimdattanagar, Nepal Bipin received the respectable, culturally significant funeral he deserves.
Hamas kidnapped and murdered this innocent man, who had no religious or ethnic ties to the region whatsoever. He was studying agriculture in Israel for only 3 weeks on October 7th. He just wanted to learn a skill to benefit his rural community.
May Bipin rest in peace.
@dumisani6, a Pastor from the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, expressed his wholehearted view that churches must traffic in moral clarity regarding the Jewish State.
“I don’t care what your Pastor gets right, if he gets Israel wrong, find another church.”
This level of actionable, morally clear support from the Christian Zionist community is so important for the safety and future of the Jewish People.
Avinatan Or, the hero of Israel and recently released Hamas captivity survivor, got home from the hospital to a huge crowd of neighbors and supporters. 🇮🇱💙
This is the first time he’s set foot in his own home in over 2 years since his abduction by Hamas on October 7th alongside his girlfriend Noa Argamani.
Eyal Golan’s ‘Am Yisrael Chai’ came out after October 7th and speaks about the hope for the release of the Israeli hostages. The lyrics heard in the video translate to “Everyone will come home, we’re waiting for them outside.”🥹💙🇮🇱
WELCOME HOME, AVINATAN.❤️
