Maccabee Task Force - We Combat Antisemitism on Campuses

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.

Avera Mengistu celebrated his 38th birthday this weekend. It was his first birthday since being liberated from Hamas captivity, in which he spent almost 10 years as a hostage.

Hopefully a birthday can mean a returning sense of normalcy.
Ahed Tamimi has been leading a campaign against Israel since she was a child, and was touted by the world as a hero for her confrontations with IDF soldiers.

But according to her she isn’t resisting the IDF or Israel, she’s “fighting Jews, not Zionism”. Something perhaps for the world to consider the next time they lionize someone who strikes an IDF soldier.
Eliya Cohen, an Israeli former hostage held by Hamas for 505 days in the tunnels of Gaza, discussed the horrific nightmare he endured as a hostage. 

The psychological torment experienced by Eliya in captivity is the same constant torture Israeli hostages are still enduring today, after 685 days in hell.
GWU suspended its Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) chapter amid the DoJ investigation of the university for failure to address antisemitism on campus adequately.

Eliya Cohen, a former Israeli hostage held by Hamas for 505 harrowing days, speaks candidly about his survivor’s guilt in a recent interview.

He was kidnapped alongside Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an American-Israeli hostage who was tragically killed by Hamas one year ago.

May the memory of Hersh and the other five victims inspire a movement for justice—and may the remaining hostages return home safely, now.
Hiding in hospitals, yet again. 

Video footage of a foiled Hamas kidnapping operation from this morning shows a terror cell attempting to abduct IDF soldiers in a southern Gaza outpost. At least 18 terrorists crawled out of a tunnel, with 10 of them neutralized. 

Why are terrorists hiding in hospitals?
