Maccabee Task Force - We Combat Antisemitism on Campuses

The Latest From @MacTaskForce

During the war between the Islamic Republic of Iran, Israel, and the U.S, Israel sent Iron Dome infrastructure, and the personnel to operate it, to the UAE. 

The regime of Iran attacked the UAE heavily, despite not being involved in the offensive against the terror regime. 

This is the future of cooperation in the Middle East. Countries that value freedom, equality, and sovereignty will hopefully one by one start to see that Israel is their ally in those efforts.

Dr. Mohamed Abdou has recently spoken to groups of students connected to universities including Virginia Tech and NYU at privately organized, off-campus events. 

In those settings, he has described Hamas’ October 7th massacre and even its main perpetrator Yahya Sinwar as “blessed.” This isn’t happening in lecture halls. It’s happening outside any oversight, and without any transparency, accountability, or guardrails. 

Extremist narratives don’t stop at the point when campus administrators stop having a say. Many students are being exposed, and exposing themselves, to extremist rhetoric in virtual spaces beyond the confines of academia.
For the 7th consecutive year the European Union has passed measures condemning Palestinian Authority textbooks containing antisemitic content and glorification of jihad. 

The EU has further called for any future financial support for the PA to be contingent upon it removing such material from its textbooks. Though the EU has condemned these textbooks for years, the PA has yet to fully comply.

This is not a minor curriculum issue. It’s about the consequences of harmful indoctrination forced on children.

All of the states and other international bodies providing financial support to the PA should demand the educational materials be reformed before they commit any more money.
Author and pundit Brendan O’Neill went on GB News and explained in less than a minute why anti-Zionism is a hateful ideology.

This type of allyship is especially important right now in the wake of a stabbing terror attack against Jews in the Golders Green Neighbourhood of London, and so many other attacks against Jews around the world. 

Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. If you exclusively demonize the world’s only Jewish state, that means you have a problem with Jews.
USAID’s Office of Inspector General says it found evidence tying four more UNRWA employees to Hamas or the October 7 attacks, bringing the total number of individuals suspended or debarred through its investigations to 21. 

The latest evidence reportedly included three UNRWA-employed teachers and one social worker. 

UNWRA is receiving hundreds of millions of dollars just through the EU. The world needs to know what these international bodies are really funding.
Louise isn’t Jewish, isn’t Israeli,  and isn’t Muslim. She’s a British nurse who chose to volunteer on Israeli ambulances during the Second Intifada. She knows exactly what “intifada” means, because she treated the victims. When people chant “globalize the intifada,” they’re not calling for equality or justice. They’re normalizing violence. 

This week in London two Jewish men were stabbed outside a synagogue. 

How many more attacks against Jews need to happen before the world wakes up and realizes that antisemitic rhetoric demonizing Israel is what leads to those attacks?
The Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion released a report last Thursday offering the first detailed analysis of the Bondi terror attack. 

The report found that just six days before the Hanukkah event at Bondi the Community Security Group (CSG NSW), a Jewish security agency, warned police of a “high” threat of a terrorist attack on the Jewish community. 

Despite the warning and CSG’s request for police protection, 15 people were murdered in the Bondi Beach massacre.

This report should haunt every institution responsible for protecting Jewish communities. 
Antisemitic threats are not hypothetical, and when Jews raise the alarm, governments must do something before the next attack occurs.
The new generation of Lebanon, and some from older generations, are ready for normalization and peace with Israel. 

After a clip of a young man advocating for an Israeli Embassy in Beirut went viral around the world, other media outlets have begun to ask everyday Lebanese people where they stand. 

While some of them shared negative views, many others expressed feeling connected to everyday Israelis who talk, act, and “party” just like they do. 

While there’s still anti-Israel indoctrination present in the country, the young people are starting to see what actually exists on the other side of the border; a people who want to live in peace and prosperity as they do.
