Canary Mission

Canary Mission is a doxing[1] website established in 2014 that publishes the personal information of students, professors, and organizations that it considers to be anti-Israel or antisemitic, focusing primarily on people at North American universities.

Canary Mission listings have been used by Israeli intelligence organizations such as the Ministry of Strategic Affairs[1][5][6] and Shin Bet[1] to interrogate and deny entry to American citizens,[6][7][8] and by potential employers.

[9][10] Individuals listed by Canary Mission have said it is a blacklist designed to intimidate students, faculty members, and community activists engaged in Palestine solidarity work.

According to its website, Canary Mission "documents individuals and organizations that promote hatred of the US, Israel and Jews on North American college campuses".

[4][8] In December 2017, Canary Mission reported on what it alleged were antisemitic tweets posted by students associated with Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR) at McMaster University.

[27] The Forward also identified the Jewish Community Federation of Los Angeles (JCFLA) as a major donor to Megamot Shalom, having donated a sum of $250,000 in 2016–2017.

[29] The Lobby – USA, an undercover investigation by Al Jazeera into Israel's covert influence campaign in the United States, reported that Adam Milstein was a major source of funding for Canary Mission.

[32] Writers for Le Monde Diplomatique and Jewish academics have compared Canary Mission's practice of extorting apologies from targeted individuals in exchange for amnesty to that of authoritarian regimes and McCarthyism in the United States.

[12][4] The Forward reported that while some of the profiles include content that is "genuinely troubling", such as antisemitic social media posts, other accusations made by the website are misleading.

[8] In February 2018, Twitter briefly suspended Canary Mission's account,[12] for exposing a 2017 tweet by a pro-Palestinian activist that "modified Adele's lyrics to say 'Set Fire to the Jews'".

He added: Imagine the outrage that would be expressed if there was a website that maintained a public list of Jews, publishing their photos and personal information simply because they were active supporters of Israel.

But you don't have to imagine a website that shows the photos and personal information of Arab Americans who support Palestinian rights and is filled with vicious accusations of them being "anti-Semitic" and even "anti-American.
