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.

The Latest From @MacTaskForce
Ziv and Gali Berman are the twin captivity survivors whose reunion and release were greatly anticipated by the world. 💙💛
Immediately after their release and reunion with their family, they met their medical team at Sheba Medical Center.
Their healing journey is the most important thing right now, as they reacclimate to life outside of the brutal captivity of Hamas. ❤️🩹
In his first public message since release from 738 days in the torturous, unimaginable hell of Hamas captivity, @bar_kupershtein is now safe and home with his family.
He posted to his social media to thank the supporters around the world who made his release possible.
We’ll keep fighting until the last set of hostages’ remains returns to their loved ones.🎗️
Like many places in Israel, the Yotvata chocolate milk factory is full of stickers of the victims of October 7th, hostages, and fallen heroes who gave their lives for the protection and security of the People of Israel.
Two of those stickers show Inbar Hayman and Itay Chen, Israeli hostages whose remains are still, 740 days later, being held captive by Hamas.
The remaining hostages’ families are in indescribable pain. They’ve not only lost their loved one, but they’ve also been denied the right to bury them for all that time.
🍫🍪 It’s all in the little things.🥹
This is how Guy Gilboa-Dalal celebrated being released from over two years in the torturous, brutal captivity of Hamas.
We are beyond thrilled to get to see him appreciate and enjoy all that life has to offer.
Israel’s forensic authority has determined that one of the four bodies returned yesterday by Hamas is in fact not one of the hostages at all.
Now instead of 20 hostages still in Gaza, there are 21. A total of 7 confirmed hostages’ remains have been returned by Hamas so far.
The families of all 21 remaining hostages must have their children home NOW.
⚠️HOSTAGE REMAINS: The remains of 23-year-old Nepali hostage Bipin Joshi were recovered from Gaza and returned to Israel, from where he was kidnapped and executed by Hamas terrorists.
Bipin was an innocent, non-Jewish, non-Israeli student who had just come to Israel 3 weeks before he was kidnapped on October 7th.
We share our deepest condolences with the Joshi family. May his memory always be blessed. 🕯️
American-Israeli Omer Neutra was born on October 14th, 2001. He was murdered and then kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas terrorists 738 days ago.
The war is over, and the living hostages are home, but the remains of two American hostages are still in Gaza. Itay Chen is another American Israeli kidnapped and brutally murdered by Hamas.
Omer’s family, and the families of 23 other hostages whose remains remain in captivity, deserve to have their children back.

The lighting strikes have ended, the clouds have cleared, and the dawn is on the horizon. 🌇
But we must continue to fight until every single hostage is home with their loved ones, and not a single set of remains is left in Gaza.
We’ll keep our promise to keep fighting until every last hostage is home. 🎗️
