Canary Mission
Canary Mission is a US-based organization dedicated to the doxxing of Americans that have voiced pro-Palestinian or anti-Israeli remarks or sentiments, archiving their comments in a publicly searchable blacklist on their website in hopes of preventing them from being offered admissions, jobs, or honors. Canary Mission was established in 2014 and has become an important tool in the American Zionist movement in the years since. It originally focused on university students and faculty,[1] but has since branched to include other individuals of note in the Palestinian independence movement. Canary Mission has been accused of weaponizing antisemitism by intentionally conflating criticism of the State of Israel and Zionism with antisemitism to lend greater weight to its accusations.[2]
The organization's website is anonymously maintained and hides the individuals behind the site and does not publicly disclose its list of donors. While the organization claims to be a non-profit, there is no record of Canary Mission in the list of nonprofit organizations registered with the IRS, and as such there is little to no paper trail of its operations.
Known Donors[edit | edit source]
The Canary Mission organization does not publicly reveal its list of donors and has not officially filed as a nonprofit with the IRS, meaning there is little freely available public information about its donors. Nevertheless, numerous investigations by journalists over the years have revealed the identities of at least some of the donors enabling the website and the operation of its blacklist.
