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.

On our campuses, unity and freedom will always beat intimidation.
College students proudly waving American and Israeli flags chanted “USA,” drowning out a hostile ‘pro-Palestinian’ rally on the same campus.
Moral clarity looks like students protecting Western values refusing to be silenced.
These students are our heroes. They’re standing up for democratic values, freedom, and the right of Jews to exist safely on campus.
In one of the most extraordinary moments captured on film, Sir Nicholas Winton is unexpectedly reunited with the very people whose lives he saved.
As a young man, Winton helped rescue hundreds of Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe, forging false documents and arranging their escape to safety in England at immense personal risk and with no expectation of recognition.
Decades later, he was invited to appear on the BBC show “That’s Life” unaware that the seats around him were filled with people whose lives he saved during the Holocaust, the very children he rescued, now grown, having lived full, happy lives.
May his example remind us that one person, standing up to evil, can change the course of history.
At the Sydney Cricket Ground, Australia paused to honor true heroes.
First responders who ran toward danger during the Bondi massacre were recognized for their extraordinary courage, selflessness, and humanity. In moments of unimaginable chaos, they saved lives, comforted the wounded, and stood as a shield between innocent civilians and evil. Ahmed Al-Ahmed, the ordinary citizen who put his life on the line to disarm one of the terrorists, was also honored.
Their bravery reminds us that even in the darkest moments, there are people who choose courage over fear and service over self.
Romi Gonen survived what no human being ever should.
Her testimony exposes the brutal reality of Hamas captivity. The deception, abuse, and unimaginable trauma carried out under the cover of false “humanitarian” roles. A terrorist posing as a nurse used her vulnerability to violate her, then they forced her to live alongside her abuser.
This is not resistance, or liberation.
This is terror, cruelty, and war crimes.
The world must listen to survivors like Romi. Their voices shatter denial, confront disinformation, and demand accountability for the atrocities committed on October 7th and beyond.
500 Israeli women dancing together. Every one joyful, free, and unapologetically alive.
This is what the entire Middle East should look like — women dancing freely.
Hopefully one day soon, the women of Iran can do the same.
Freedom is never taken for granted by those who’ve lived without it.
In this powerful video, Venezuelans in America proudly wave the Venezuelan and American flags side by side, while expressing gratitude to the United States for offering safety, opportunity, and dignity when their own country was overtaken by tyranny.
Their voices are a reminder of what Western values represent: hope, strength, and the chance to live free. 🇺🇸🇻🇪
We stand with Venezuelans during this transitive period, and support all people who fight against brutal autocratic rule.
Maduro’s fall marks the end of an era, but not the end of the story.
For years, Venezuela served as a foothold for Iran, Russia, and China in the Western Hemisphere, fueling instability, migration, and security threats that reached the United States.
What happens next will shape the region for years to come.
