Organization profile
Maccabee Task Force
Founded in 2015 specifically to fight BDS on campus. MTF funds institutional partners rather than clubs, so the money reaches you through your Hillel, Chabad, or federation — but its BDS research is free to anyone.
The Maccabee Task Force was founded in 2015 to help students confront and defeat the BDS movement on their campuses.
- No application for your club — access runs through a funded Hillel, Chabad, or federation partner
- Partner-funded speakers and films, if your campus institution is already an MTF partner
- Free BDS Q&A and Myths Exposed research, public to anyone whether or not your campus has a partner
