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
Sanam Porbabaei was a young Iranian violinist with a future filled with music, talent, and promise.
On the very night she performed in concert, sharing hope with her community, the Iranian regime brutally murdered her.
This is what the Islamic Republic does:
It silences music made by women, it crushes creativity, and it murders young people whose only “crime” is living freely and expressing themselves.
We honor her memory by telling the truth and standing with the Iranian people as they fight to reclaim their country from a regime that fears music, freedom, and life itself.

UNRWA doesn’t just preside over classrooms that glorify terror. Multiple investigations have identified UNRWA staff as Hamas operatives, with evidence that some participated in the October 7 massacre.
Beyond staffing, Hamas has repeatedly operated from UNRWA facilities, including schools and hospitals using humanitarian cover to store weapons, plan attacks, and shield terrorists behind civilians.
UNRWA is NOT a neutral aid organization, but rather, contributes to systematic terror against Jews.
International donors and governments must put an end to any funding that enables terror under the guise of humanitarian work.

🚨 THIS IS WHAT INDOCTRINATION LOOKS LIKE 🚨
A student at an UNRWA–run school explains he’s being taught that so-called “armed resistance,” terrorism against Jews, is the only path forward. He rejects coexistence entirely and describes violence against Jews as a goal.
This is not education, it’s radicalization. When classrooms teach hatred, dehumanization, and violence, they don’t produce peace they manufacture the next generation of extremists.
UNRWA is a United Nations agency funded by the international community. Taxpayer dollars must never be used to teach children to hate or kill.
There must be immediate accountability, full transparency in curricula, and an end to any programming that glorifies terror or erases Israel.
The world must act now to stop the incitement and protect Jewish lives.
Members of the European Parliament are now openly naming the countries preventing Europe from designating the IRGC as a terrorist organization: Italy, Spain, and France.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is not a conventional military force. It’s the backbone of Iran’s global terror network and responsible for funding, training, and directing terror groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Delaying or blocking its designation does not preserve diplomacy. It protects a terror apparatus.
Europe must show moral clarity. The IRGC must be designated NOW. The world must rise up to protect the Iranian people.
Congratulations to Noam Bettan, officially crowned Israel’s Eurovision 2026 contestant!
A decade ago, a 17-year-old Noam auditioned for The Next Star, the very stage that chooses Israel’s Eurovision representative, and didn’t make it through. Now ten years later his perseverance, talent, and belief brought him through to achieving that dream.
He will represent Israel with pride on the world stage, an important symbol of Israel’s resilience after years of unimaginable hardship.
Mazal tov, Noam 🇮🇱🎶
We’re cheering you on all the way to Eurovision 2026.
Orthodox Christians from around the world gathered at the Qasr Al-Yahud baptismal site, on the banks of the Jordan River in Israel, to reenact the baptism of Jesus at one of Christianity’s holiest sites.
This powerful scene is a reminder of what the Middle East can look like: freedom of worship, respect for faith, and the ability for religious communities to practice openly and safely in their ancestral homelands.
In Israel, Christian pilgrims can safely pray, celebrate, and connect with their history, unhindered and unafraid. That reality stands in stark contrast to a region where religious minorities are often persecuted, erased, or driven underground.
Israel remains a living testament to religious freedom and coexistence in the Middle East.
This is the pain the Iranian diaspora carries every day.
At a march in Vancouver held in solidarity with the Iranian people, a woman from the Iranian diaspora stopped in her tracks.
She had spotted her brother’s face on a billboard showing victims killed by the regime for demanding freedom.
This is the reality Iranians are living all over the world right now: grief without closure, justice denied, families shattered by a regime that murders its own people and lies about it.
We will stand with Iranians until freedom is restored.

For the first time ever, an Israeli–Palestinian duo served as Peace Torchbearers for the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics torch relay.
Peace activist @maozinon Maoz Inon, who lost both of his parents on October 7th, and peace activist @azizabusarah Aziz Abu Sarah carried the torch together side by side.
This is what real coexistence looks like: courage, empathy, and peace advocacy that refuses to excuse terror or rewrite truth.
These activists are carrying a hope forward that true peace is possible after so much trauma.
