Canary Mission is one of the oldest and most prominent of several digital advocacy groups that have intensified campaigns to expose Israel's critics since the war broke out, often leading to harassment such as Sayed experienced. The people behind the site have kept their identities, location and funding sources hidden.

Reuters reviewed online attacks and abusive messages directed at scores of people targeted by Canary Mission since Oct. 7.

The site has accused over 250 U.S. students and academics of supporting terrorism or spreading antisemitism and hatred of Israel since the start of the latest Gaza conflict, according to the Reuters review of its posts. Some are leading members of Palestinian rights groups or were arrested for offenses such as blocking traffic and punching a Jewish student. Others, like Sayed, said they had just stepped into campus activism and were not charged with any crimes.

When will they realize that labelling human rights supporters "anti-semitic" is really not doing Judaism or Jews any favors, especially when a good number of those supporters are Jewish?

They know. They don't care.

Oh they do care. They want to distract from real antisemitism. They want real antisemitism to flourish.

Zionism is a fascist ideology and it needs its followers and the people under its control to be in a perpetual state of existential fear and delusion of grandeur.

Do they collate the US hiring blacklist, or is that a different organisation?

Canary Mission is indeed one of the organizations that does. They aren't the only Israeli government funded group doing such targeted harassment, but they seem to be the main one.

With allies like these, who needs enemies?

I've come across this site before. It is completely indefensible and unethical.

They realize that these students and their families etc are voters right?
