Maccabee Task Force - We Combat Antisemitism on Campuses

The Latest From @MacTaskForce

Archbishop Emeritus of New York Timothy Dolan made it clear: Catholics must vigorously condemn antisemitism because standing against hatred is the way of their faith.

Hatred towards Jews is not just a Jewish issue, it’s a test of society’s moral clarity. When antisemitism rises, it signals a broader collapse of human dignity, tolerance, and freedom for all.

Faith leaders have a unique responsibility to speak truth and defend the vulnerable. Standing against antisemitism means standing for human rights, justice, and the fundamental values that bind civilized societies together.

We thank Cardinal Dolan for a career’s worth of strong and principled leadership.
At Carnival in Cologne, one of Europe’s largest cultural festivals, the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, was depicted in a powerful and unmistakable way: as the architect of repression, terror, and mass suffering.

The Ayatollah's appearance was a part of the Rose Monday ("Rosenmontag") parade during which elaborate floats often satirize and caricature political figures.

For decades, Khamenei has presided over a regime responsible for crushing dissent, massacring its own people, and exporting terror far beyond Iran. In just the last few weeks, tens of thousands of innocent Iranians have been killed, imprisoned, or disappeared simply for demanding freedom.

Art and satire have always been tools to challenge tyranny. This depiction reflects what millions of Iranians already know: the regime’s brutality is no longer hidden from the world.

The people of Iran are bravely fighting for their future, and will eventually prevail.

LeBron James understands the power of sport to transcend borders and inspire lives far beyond the court. His message to Israel reflects what sports represent at their best: resilience, excellence, and the pursuit of greatness both as athletes and as people.

Israel’s athletes, like so many around the world, draw strength from global role models who remind them that discipline, perseverance, and character matter just as much as talent.

We look forward to the day LeBron visits Israel and sees firsthand the strength, diversity, and spirit of a nation whose people continue to inspire the world.
Three of the youngest Holocaust survivors share an extraordinary bond: each was born to Jewish mothers who secretly carried pregnancies through Nazi camps where pregnancy meant death.

Starved, enslaved, and facing constant danger, these women hid their pregnancies, gave birth in unimaginable conditions, and kept their babies alive until liberation.

Today, those “miracle babies,” now 80-years-old and grandparents themselves, honor their mothers’ courage and the resilience of Jewish survival.

Their story is a reminder: even in humanity’s darkest moments, life endured.
World-class opera singers Latonia Moore and Brian Major described something deeper than music during their first visit to Israel, a powerful spiritual connection. 

Performing with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra won’t just be a professional milestone, it’s a deeply personal and meaningful experience rooted in history, culture, and shared humanity.

Israel continues to serve as a global center for artistic excellence, where musicians from around the world come together to create, collaborate, and connect. The Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra stands as a testament to the country’s rich cultural life and its role in bringing people of all backgrounds together through music.

Art has the power to transcend borders, and moments like this show how Israel inspires not only performance, but profound connection.

Los Angeles stood with Iran on February 14, 2026, as thousands gathered to demand freedom from the brutal Islamic Republic of Iran that has oppressed the Iranian people for 47 years. Voices from across the Iranian diaspora and allied communities united with one message: the world is watching, and the Iranian people are not alone.

Despite censorship, violence, and unimaginable risk, Iranians continue to rise. Their courage has inspired a global movement that refuses to accept tyranny as permanent.

Do not lose hope. The Iranian people will be free.

Hamas captivity survivor Eitan Mor is now celebrating life surrounded by friends, fellow survivors, and allies in Rio de Janeiro. After enduring starvation, torture, and unimaginable abuse at the hands of a terror organization, he is reclaiming his future.

This project filmed many of the young Hamas captivity survivors in Rio. Eitan, and his fellow survivors, represent the resilience of an entire generation of young Israelis who refused to be broken.

Hamas tried to steal their lives, but they failed. The strength, spirit, and unity of the Israeli people cannot be destroyed.
