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.
