The opening as it read in 2025
Canary Mission is an anonymously run doxing website established in 2014 that publishes the personal information of students, professors, and organizations that it describes as anti-Israel or antisemitic , focusing primarily on people at North American universities. Critics have described it as weaponizing the accusation of antisemitism in order to silence critique of Israel . Canary Mission's published materials have been described as a blacklist . Profiles are publicly-available online and intended for wide use, and Canary Mission may actively send them to employers. Known users of the profiles include Israeli intelligence organizations Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Shin Bet , which interrogate and deny entry to American citizens. In March 2025, multiple foreign students with Canary Mission profiles were detained by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement . Canary Mission's work toward silencing critique of Israel is controversial. Its tactics have been compared to McCarthyism and the makeup and reliability of profiles have been questioned.

The opening as it stood in 2020
Canary Mission is a website established in 2014 that compiles dossiers on student activists, professors, and organizations, focusing primarily on those at North American universities, which it considers be anti-Israel or antisemitic and has said that it will send the names of listed students to prospective employers. Canary Mission listings have been used by the Israeli government and border security officials to interrogate and deny entry to pro- Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) US citizens, and by potential employers. Individuals listed by Canary have said it is a blacklist designed to intimidate students, faculty members, and community activists engaged in Palestine solidarity work. Some pro-Israel activists consider the site's tactics to be overly aggressive, while others applaud its efforts against pro-Palestinian activists. The operators of the website have maintained their anonymity, justifying their secrecy by saying that "many of our detractors just want to know who we are so they can physically harm us."
