Canary Mission is a website that was established in 2014 and compiles dossiers on student activists, professors, and organizations, primarily those at North American universities, which it considers to be anti-Israel or antisemitic. The website is anonymous, and its leadership and membership are unknown, but it is ideologically aligned with the far-right end of the Israeli political spectrum. The website has been accused of engaging in defamatory attacks against college students and faculty who speak out about the denial of Palestinians human rights.
Canary Missions dossiers include links to the Facebook profiles of the activists it targets, which has led to some receiving threatening messages and even experiencing anxiety. The website has also been used in the context of border enforcement and administration by Israeli officials to question and deny entry to Israel and occupied Palestinian territory.
The website has been criticized for its impact on free speech and activism on college campuses, and for its attempts to silence critics of Israel on American college campuses through intimidation. Despite repeated denunciations by faculty, including Jewish faculty, Canary Mission continues to broadcast its false, misleading, and incendiary allegations about the students, faculty, and organizations it targets.
