Help Defend Israel
Join the Maccabee Task Force!
The Maccabee Task Force was founded in 2015 to help Jewish and pro-Israel students fight back against the rising tide of anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism on America’s college campuses. Our core aim is to dispel dangerous misinformation about Israel that percolates throughout academia by building coalitions with powerful student communities that work to change the narrative about Israel and better the environment for Jewish students on the college campus. We accomplish this through a trip to Israel for the most influential non-Jewish students on each of our 75 partner campuses as well as through supplementary programming designed to continue to foster the relationships forged on the trips.

Since two BBC heads resigned after it came to light that the outlet published a doctored speech by the U.S President, more of the BBC’s worst accuracy blunders are resurfacing online.
One of the most egregious of these false stories published by the BBC was directly after October 7th, before the IDF had even begun it’s ground operations against Hamas in Gaza.
According to the Telegraph, instead of waiting for the facts to play out, the BBC reported that a rocket hit and flattened the Al-Ahli hospital in Gaza. A BBC correspondent even suggested that it was an Israeli rocket. As it turned out, the rocket hit a car park just next to the hospital and resulted in far fewer casualties than initially reported. Additionally it was likely a misfired Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) rocket meant to cause destruction in Israel that was at fault for the impact.
What’s even worse? The international editor responsible for the story said a few weeks later that he doesn’t “feel bad at all” about misrepresenting the story.
False, biased reporting leads directly to violence against Jews around the world. Shame on the BBC.
Adi Efrat’s graphic testimony is incredibly important. The horrors perpetrated on civilians of all ages by Hamas on October 7th were unimaginable, yet the world continues to deny them.
Adi Efrat is a survivor of the October 7th massacre by Hamas. During the massacre, she saw Hamas’s war crimes and unfiltered violence against children up close.
We will never stop reminding the world of the truth of October 7th, despite the rampant hatred. SHARE so the world will know the TRUTH.
NYC’s one million Jews are in a precarious situation. Countless incidents of vandalism, violence, and harassment across the country and the world affects all Jewish people, but the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel is facing unprecedented hatred.
ADL reports that “brazen” harassment and vandalism incidents in NYC have increased even further in 2025.
More than HALF of all hate crimes in NYC targeted Jews last month, a figure that seems almost impossible for America’s most populated city.
Students are experiencing the brunt of this hate at institutions that are supposed to protect and educate them.
Change cannot come soon enough.
BBC network head Tim Davie and news chief Deborah Turness have both resigned from their jobs amid allegations from a whistleblower that the news outlet purposely doctored a speech by US president Donald Trump.
The whistleblower also claims that BBC Arabic used contributors with known antisemitic views, including one who had described Jews as “devils”, and another who suggested Jews should be burned “as Hitler did”.
Aside from its bias problem, the BBC also seems to have a serious antisemitism problem. Not sure two resignations are going to fix that.
✡️🇩🇪 HOPE FOR HUMANITY: On the 87th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the violent, Nazi-led pogrom in Germany that began the Holocaust, the grandson of one of the most prolific Nazis of all time went on Fox to spread light and hope. When Kai Hoss was a child in Germany, he discovered in school that he is the grandchild of one of the most famous Nazis, Rudolf Hoss, the ‘Commandant of Auschwitz.’ At first, he hid this identity, embarrassed by the implications. But when Kai became a pastor, he started to open up, reaching millions with his story of acceptance and love over hatred and darkness. Many Holocaust survivors and their descendants have taken it upon themselves to deliver personal messages of forgiveness to Hoss, who uses his platform to fight against the hatred his grandfather perpetrated.
A video from The Telegraph claims that the UK’s leading broadcaster, the BBC, accused Israel of war crimes when evidence to the contrary was known.
According to the Telegraph, BBC articles describing Palestinians digging mass graves at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza were later disregarded when the BBC accused the IDF of digging and utilizing a mass grave at the medical facility.
The BBC perverted its own reporting in perpetrating this violence-inciting blood libel against the world’s only Jewish State.
How many stories must be reported false until the BBC changes course and stops propagandizing against Israel?
Do not keep quiet in the face of libelous antisemitic slander.
87 years ago this evening, November 9-10, 1938, was Kristallnacht, the ’Night of Broken Glass.’
Hundreds of Jewish businesses were vandalized and attacked by Nazi forces as well as by average citizens, people who believed they were bringing justice and accountability to Jews, whom they blamed for economic and societal problems. German authorities did not intervene.
On this memorial day for the violent pogrom, survivors of Kristallnacht got together in Israel to discuss the tragedy’s deep connection to modern-day antisemitism.
Just a few days ago, violent anti-Israel protestors sought out and attacked a pro-Israel event at a Toronto university, breaking the glass door at a private business and causing a visiting Israeli speaker to bleed.
Jews are being targeted around the world, not because of Israel, but despite of it: the one place where Jews can truly feel at home.
Antisemitism long predates the establishment of the modern state of Israel and the Holocaust. It is the reason Israel must remain a safe haven with the Jewish people.
Don’t look away. Consider the consequences of not combating the horrifying rising tide of Jew hatred in the West.
Historian and author Victor David Hanson discussed the unmatched selective outrage against Israel around the world, especially surrounding its war against Hamas in Gaza.
The ethnic cleansing of Greeks in northern Cyprus by the Turkish regime, the displacement of 100,000 Armenian Christians, the mass murder of Christians in Nigeria, and the activities of ISIS and Boko Haram are all uninteresting causes to those obsessed with focusing on criticizing Israel.
Israel is singled out among the global community for censure and boycott in sports, the arts, academics, and in many more areas of society.
Do not accept this bigotry.
