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.

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.
Jewish students at universities across New York City have spent the last two years being physically and ideologically excluded from normal campus life.
Countless antisemitic professors, physical and verbal assault during demonstrations, and even being prevented from studying in their own libraries during finals week.
Four of these students who have been at the center of it all went on Fox to tell the world what they’ve experienced.
We call upon campus administrators and city leaders to take real action to ensure the situation for Jewish students improves drastically.
Jewish students must feel protected and safe on their campuses.
Last week, a private Students Supporting Israel (@ssi_movement) event was interrupted by masked anti-Israel agitators who broke-and-entered into the private business where the event was being held, damaging the property, chanting slogans at the participants, and refusing to leave.
The SSI event was being hosted by the Toronto Metropolitan University @ssi_tmu chapter, and featured ex-reservist IDF soldiers who came to speak about their experiences fighting in the war.
One of the IDF soldiers bravely and swiftly removed the trespassers from the premises, barricading the door so that the violent protestors could not re-enter.
The same ex-reservist, Jonathan, was also cut badly by the glass broken by the anti-Israel protestors and bled profusely.
The bravery of these students to act quickly to remove the illegal trespassers and de-escalate the situation is commendable. Why must our students contend with these imminent physical threats?
With a U.S.-led humanitarian ceasefire reportedly on the horizon in Sudan, it’s worth asking why mainstream media has largely ignored what Yale researchers and human rights groups describe as an ongoing genocide of non-Arab ethnic groups by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) — an Arab supremacist paramilitary that was officially legitimized by Sudan’s government in 2017.
Yale analysts estimate that more people may have been massacred in a single week in Darfur than have been killed during the entire two-year war between Hamas and Israel in Gaza.
Where is the outrage? Where are the campus protests?
No Jews, no news.
Over 2 years after the genocidal massacre perpetrated on Israeli civilians by the Hamas terror organization, official polling figures show a concerning uptick in support for Hamas among Palestinians.
Despite over 2 years of war, during which Palestinian support for the 10-7 attack decreased steadily, the latest polling shows a reversal of that trend.
Since the October 2025 ceasefire, Hamas has begun to carry out widespread persecutions of Palestinians. Those in Gaza who support Hamas are endorsing that abuse.
Despite the ceasefire, peace is only possible if Palestinian extremism is curbed through education and better leadership – and that is only possible if Gaza is freed from Hamas.
Despite the despicable Jewish fan-ban that prohibits Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from showing up at Thursday night’s Aston Villa soccer game in Birmingham, masked activists are plastering the city with anti-Zionist (antisemitic) propaganda.
Sentiments included on the posters include “If you see a Zionist, call the police,” among other threats against the community. Zionist, and therefore Jewish fans being banned from attending a public sporting event belongs in the Middle Ages.
We must not allow bigots to control our lives. This discrimination is unconscionable.
Rom Braslavski was stolen from his life and his family by Hamas on October 7th. He was held for 738 days until he was released in the latest and final hostage release deal.
Rom went on CNN to begin to tell the world about the terrifying ordeal he endured, describing torture, sexual violence, and severe mistreatment amounting to crimes against humanity.
The captivity survivor goes on to explain that he was tied up naked and left to suffer for days and days at a time without even sustenance, let alone medical care.
We are so relieved that Rom is home and can now begin his healing journey, though his recovery may take longer than many. Rom was held all by himself for the entire two years of his captivity.
Influencer Abdul Eyad alleges that “there will be no more Israelis” in New York City.
He further prompted, “Pack your bags. Go to Poland and Cyprus. Don’t go back to Palestine.”
Is he trying to ethnically cleanse all Jews from NYC, or just all Israelis?
The best part about this unhinged racist call for Jewish emigration from NYC is that he forgot he’s not supposed to think Jews are from Israel. He tells NYC’s Israelis not to go “back” to Palestine, inadvertently acknowledging the generations upon generations of Jews born in Israel.
