Maccabee Task Force - We Combat Antisemitism on Campuses

The Latest From @MacTaskForce

Over the weekend the Houthis helled a massive rally in Sana’a, Yemen in solidarity with the Iranian regime.

The Houthis, like Hamas and Hezbollah, are part of Iran’s network of armed terror proxies. At the rally, thousands waved flags bearing the group’s official slogan, which explicitly calls for “death to America,” “death to Israel,” and even “a curse upon the Jews.”

The Houthis are a good example of how the Iranian regime supports a network of extremist proxies throughout the region.

Until Iran is free, Yemen cannot be free, and the entire Middle East cannot be free.
Last night, ballistic missiles launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran struck near Jerusalem and the surrounding region, injuring civilians, damaging infrastructure, and forcing hundreds of thousands to take shelter. 

The missiles are doing damage, but they will not break Israel or its people. With every siren, Israelis grow more resilient, stronger, and more dedicated to overcoming the regional enemies who seek their destruction.

Pray for Israel. Pray for the people of Iran. Pray for the free world.
In the middle of ballistic missile attacks and terrifying uncertainty, Israelis did what they always do: started building community and taking care of each other.

Inside the massive shelter at Dizengoff Center in Tel Aviv, a group of regular Israelis opened a free wartime coffee shop. Cookies, coffee, and tea were offered at no cost to help neighbors pass the time together and make the hours feel a little lighter.

This is Israeli resilience: not just surviving under fire, but choosing kindness, connection, and unity even in the shelter.
Mohammad Raad was eliminated by Israel after Hezbollah mounted an attack against it, violating the ceasefire in place for over a year. 

Raad was not just a political figure, he was a senior Hezbollah leader and a key representative of an Iranian-backed terror organization operating inside Lebanon’s government.

Hezbollah has spent decades embedding itself within civilian and political structures while launching attacks against Israel, destabilizing Lebanon, and serving as one of the Islamic Republic’s most powerful regional proxies.

This development underscores a broader reality: terror networks do not operate in isolation. They are coordinated, funded, and directed by the regime of the Islamic Republic which relies on violence as policy.

Israel will continue to confront those who use political office as cover for terror operations, and defend its citizens against those committed to its destruction.
A baby’s first steps should not happen inside a bomb shelter.

Yet in Tel Aviv, the daughter of two Israeli dads took her very first steps while her family and her country sought protection from incoming threats. Still, they celebrated. Still, they smiled. Still, they chose life.

That moment represents more than resilience. It represents everything extremist regimes seek to crush.

These fathers and their beautiful daughter deserve what every family deserves: safety, dignity, and the freedom to build a future. Israel protects that right, for all its citizens, while defending itself from a regime that seeks to destroy it.

Life, love, and freedom are exemplified in Israel, even when it’s under fire.

Four-year-old Eitan celebrated his birthday in a bomb shelter, and still managed to smile.

This is Israeli resilience. Even under missile fire, families light candles, sing songs, and create moments of joy for their children. Sirens may interrupt their lives, but they don’t break the spirit.

Israel’s strength doesn’t lie only in its defense systems, but also in its people. In parents who turn shelters into party rooms. In children who learn courage before they even learn to read.

Eitan’s birthday is a testament to a nation that refuses to let terror steal its joy.

A video circulating shows an Islamic Republic state TV presenter becoming visibly emotional while reporting on the announcement of the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader.

This moment captures the reality of how deeply the Ayatollah’s ideology has permeated Iranian state institutions.

For decades, the Iranian regime has persecuted its own people and exported terrorism around the world due to this fanatical indoctrination. 

What matters now is supporting the Iranian people’s long-standing desire for freedom, dignity, and human rights, and ensuring a peaceful, stable path forward for the region.
One Iranian woman, known for the viral video where she lit a cigarette from a photo of Khamenei, has once again become a symbol of resistance.

That act, which inspired activists inside Iran and around the world, was rooted in a refusal to bow to fear or repression. Many of those same voices celebrated following the announcement that Khamenei was eliminated in the recent coordinated strikes.

For too long, the regime has terrorized its own people and exported violence in the form of terrorism.

Freedom for Iran means freedom from terror, repression, and hatred. The world should see and support that.
