The Latest From @MacTaskForce
On Yom HaShoah, Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to remember the six million Jewish lives, among millions of others, stolen in the Holocaust. We must never forget the countless families, communities, and futures that were destroyed. According to Haaretz, 106,000 Holocaust survivors live in Israel.
We honor the memory of those who were murdered, the courage of those who survived, and the enduring obligation to confront antisemitism wherever and however it appears.
Antisemitism is a dangerous scourge on society and must not be allowed to continue putting Jews at risk.
May the memories of all the millions murdered always be blessed. 🕯️
Hezbollah turned a hospital into a war zone. The IDF says its troops uncovered a weapons cache inside a hospital in Bint Jbeil, after identifying Hezbollah operatives using the facility for surveillance and firing at Israeli forces from inside.
The military says it neutralized the gunmen and that 20 terrorists were later eliminated within the hospital area to remove an immediate threat.
Hezbollah has embedded its infrastructure deep inside civilian areas across Lebanon.
This is the terrorist playbook: exploit civilian sites for cover and turn civilians themselves into human shields. Hospitals are supposed to save lives, and Hezbollah uses them for terror activities.
A ceasefire with Iran is not a free pass for Hezbollah.
Hezbollah launched attacks into northern Israel and continues to operate as a heavily armed Iranian proxy from Lebanese territory. That’s why Israel is still acting in Lebanon: to counter Hezbollah’s launch capabilities, disrupt its command networks, and reduce immediate threats to communities in the north.
The bigger picture is straightforward. Israel isn’t operating in Lebanon at random, but trying to stop an Iran-aligned terror force from further entrenching itself on the border and continuing attacks on civilians.
Badass hero.
After losing both of his legs from severe injuries sustained while fighting in Gaza, Matan Misan refused to give up.
Now, the Israeli double amputee veteran is training to compete on Israel’s version of Ninja Warrior, and turning pain into strength and proving that resilience is not just surviving, but pushing forward with unbelievable courage.

Shame on the United Nations. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been nominated by ECOSOC to the U.N. Committee for Programme and Coordination, a body that helps shape priorities touching women’s rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention. Watch dog organization UN Watch reported the nomination went through without objection and explains the United States was the only ECOSOC member to formally dissociate itself from the consensus.
A regime that jails dissidents, murders innocent protestors, and arms terror proxies, should be nowhere near a committee with this kind of mandate. This is not diplomacy. It is moral collapse.

Concentration camps are not the place for political protest.
More than 56,000 people were murdered at the Nazi concentration camp of Buchenwald. For survivors and their families, April 11, the day the camp was liberated, is sacred history, a moment of survival and remembrance.
Holocaust memorial sites exist to honor the victims, preserve the truth of Nazi crimes, and combat antisemitism. They must remain places of reflection and education, not platforms for modern political demonstrations that distort or exploit the memory of those who were murdered.
Mahmoud Khalil lost his latest appeal in his deportation case, according to reporting on Friday, bringing him closer to possible removal from the U.S.
Khalil, a Columbia-linked protest activist, was detained after participating in anti-Israel campus protests over the Gaza war.
His attorneys argue the case is politically motivated, while the government has said his protest activity was aligned with Hamas.
A protest was being organized against the Buchenwald Memorial by an anti-Zionist group over the site’s “ban” on pro-Palestinian symbols, including keffiyehs.
The ban was upheld by German courts, in service of protecting the integrity of Holocaust remembrance.
