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.

Francesca Albanese, who the US government sanctioned for spewing antisemitism, expressing support for terrorism, and attempting to force International Criminal Court action against Israeli figures without basis, claims SHE is being betrayed by the United States.
Recently it was reported by UN Watch that Georgetown University removed her affiliated scholar web page from its website, which is believed to be the university she refers to in this video.
Perhaps rather than blaming everyone else, she needs to reflect upon her own her own actions got her here.
As Dan Elkayam is laid to rest in Israel, his girlfriend Krystal eulogized him with words filled with love, grief, and pride. She remembered a young man whose life was cut short by terror, but whose final act defined extraordinary courage.
Dan was just 27 years old, a French national with his whole future ahead of him.
According to the mayor of Ashdod, where the memorial was held, in the final moments of his life, Dan leapt forward and tried to shield 10-year-old Matilda from bullets, placing his own body between her and the attacker.
Krystal spoke of Dan’s kindness, his warmth, his humanity. Of a man who did not hesitate when faced with evil, and who acted purely from the heart.
Dan’s heroism transcends borders and identities. He is mourned all over the world, and remembered everywhere that courage, love, and moral clarity still matter.
May Dan’s memory always be blessed. 🕯️
Aviv Maor Z”L, was only 19 years old.
This morning, Aviv was murdered in a stabbing terror attack in northern Israel while simply waiting at a bus stop, a beautiful young woman stolen by hatred and genocidal violence.
An innocent life full of promise was cut short by evil. Her family, friends, and community are left shattered by an unbearable loss.
We mourn Aviv, and honor her memory. We refuse the normalization of the targeting of innocent civilians going about their daily lives.
May her memory be a blessing.

The IDF and Shin Bet have eliminated Hussein Mahmoud Marshad al-Jawhari, a senior operative operating under the Iranian regime’s IRGC-Quds Force, in Lebanon.
Al-Jawhari was directly involved in planning and advancing terrorist activity against the State of Israel and its security forces, and acted as an extension of the Iranian regime’s regional terror apparatus.
Through the IRGC and its proxies, Tehran exports violence, instability, and war across the Middle East, from Lebanon to Gaza and beyond.
The world must stop turning a blind eye to Iran’s role as the engine of global jihadist violence.
Israel says that Hamas moved tens of millions of dollars to its military wing over the past year. These funds could have been used to care for civilians but were diverted to build weapons, pay terrorists, and sustain terror infrastructure instead.
The revelation comes after a key Hamas financial figure, Abd al-Hai Zakout, was eliminated by Israel.
Hamas continues to neglect its own population while global institutions legitimize this behavior by treating the terror group like a legitimate governing authority. When a group repeatedly chooses terror, its actions must be named clearly for what they are.
Christmas in Israel: free, proud, and joyful.
In Nazareth, the birthplace of Christianity, an Arab Christian youth group dances openly in celebration of Christmas, surrounded by community, music, and light. No fear. No intimidation. Just faith, culture, and joy.
Merry Christmas from the kids of Nazareth. 🎄✝️
A disturbing video out of Brussels shows anti-Israel protestors demonstrating outside of a Christmas market, a festive public space traditionally meant for joy, community, and celebration.
They’ve made Christmas a stage for hostile chants and intimidation.
Christmas markets should be safe spaces for families, friends, and visitors from all backgrounds, not arenas for political aggression and anti-Israel outbursts.
Australia’s pain continues.
On Christmas morning in Melbourne, a Rabbi’s car, decorated for Hanukkah, was targeted in a firebomb attack in what authorities are treating as an antisemitic incident. The Rabbi, who has requested to remain anonymous, and his family were shaken but not injured.
This was another deliberate attack on Jewish life and Jewish tradition, carried out on a day meant for peace and goodwill. This incident, which occurred just 11 days after the Bondi massacre, exposes how deep antisemitic sentiment has grown in Australia.
Jewish communities deserve safety, dignity, and protection. Acts like this remind us why we must stay vigilant, demand accountability, and confront hatred wherever it appears.
