Maccabee Task Force - We Combat Antisemitism on Campuses

The Latest From @MacTaskForce

An Israeli Jew and an Israeli Druze shared a powerful message calling out the double standard often seen in Western discourse about the Middle East.

They pointed out the hypocrisy of condemning Israel for defending itself while ignoring the reality of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its terror proxies like Hamas, whose ideology openly calls for the destruction of Israel, all Jews, and the entire West. 

Standing side by side, Israeli Jewish and Druze teens Marwan and Shalev remind the world that Israel is a shared home for diverse communities including Jews, Druze, Muslims, Christians, and others, who all face the same genocidal threats from extremist ideologies. Their message is clear: defending life against terror is always necessary.

An Israeli fighter pilot sent a powerful message to the people of Israel from the cockpit on his way to Tehran, moments before Shabbat.

Speaking to the nation while flying in formation with fellow pilots, he said the Israeli Air Force continues to fight around the clock to remove the existential threat that is the Iranian Regime, and that the pilots feel the support of the Israeli people at every moment. He ended his message with a wish to citizens at home: ā€œa safe and peaceful Shabbat.ā€ 

The pilots defending Israel carry with them the spirit and support of the entire nation. šŸ‡®šŸ‡±āœˆļø

On International Women’s Day, the IDF recognized the extraordinary contributions of 30 female pilots and flight technicians who took part in the first strikes against the Islamic Republic’s military infrastructure.

These women represent the strength, professionalism, and leadership of the Israeli Air Force, serving on the front lines to defend their country and all of its citizens from a regime that has spent decades murdering its own women, funding terror, and threatening Israel’s destruction. 

Their service is a powerful reminder: Israeli women are not only part of the fight, they are leading it. šŸ‡®šŸ‡±āœˆļø

Just before International Women’s Day, Israeli influencer Liel Eli spoke with a heroic female Israeli Air Force pilot who participated in the joint Israeli-American strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

When asked how it felt, whether she ever imagined getting this far, the pilot, whose identity is hidden for security reasons, reflected on the immense responsibility of defending Israel from a regime that openly threatens its destruction. Her answer highlighted the years of training, courage, and commitment required for such missions.

There is deep significance to the fact that women are playing a vital role in the campaign against the Islamic Republic, which has oppressed and executed its women for 47 years.

Israel’s Eurovision 2026 entry has been released, performed by this year’s representative Noam Bettan.

At a time when Israel faces war and uncertainty, the song carries a message of national pride, resilience, and the enduring spirit of Israeli culture. Eurovision has long been a stage where Israel shares its voice with the world, and this year is no different.

Through music, Israel continues to show that even in difficult times, creativity, identity, and hope remain stronger than fear. šŸ‡®šŸ‡±
An Iranian-American girl shared a heartfelt message to both the Iranian people and the people of Israel: We are with you forever, until freedom.

Speaking with conviction beyond her years, she said that the Iranian people’s path to freedom depends on the bravery of those willing to stand up to the regime, including the support of Israel and the United States. Standing beside her, her mother also expressed gratitude to Israel for helping confront the regime that has oppressed Iranians for decades.

For many in the Iranian diaspora, the message is simple: the struggle is not between peoples, but between those who want freedom and the regime that denies it.

Protesters marching past New York City were seen carrying a large ā€œGlobalize the Intifadaā€ sign alongside a portrait of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, while flipping off the building as they passed. ļæ¼

The phrase ā€œGlobalize the Intifadaā€ is widely understood by many Jewish communities as a call to spread the violence that defined past intifadas, campaigns that targeted Jewish civilians with bombings, shootings, and other attacks. ļæ¼

Seeing the slogan displayed alongside the image of the leader of the Islamic Republic, a regime that has spent decades funding terror groups across the region, highlights the troubling convergence of extremist rhetoric and antisemitic incitement. For Jewish communities, it is a stark reminder that language and symbols matter, and that calls for violence against Jews should never be normalized.

According to Iran International, a London-based Persian language news outlet, the Islamic Republic is embedding its regime infrastructure inside civilian spaces, just like their terror proxy Hamas.

The regime’s foreign ministry held a press conference inside a school in Tehran last Tuesday, while social media users circulated videos showing security forces stationed in other schools across the country. 

A major teachers’ union in the country previously warned that government forces are moving weapons and equipment into educational facilities, turning classrooms into military bases.

There are also reports of government and security forces being stationed in medical facilities — including at Tehran’s Arman Hospital, where a meeting of the interim leadership council took place.

A government that uses schools and hospitals as operational cover is exposing its own civilians to danger while attempting to manipulate the narrative of the conflict.

We look forward to the international media and campus protesters calling out this gross violation of international humanitarian law.
