2015—Canary Mission

In February 2015, the website canarymission.org was registered. The site maintains lists of individuals and organizations that “promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews on North American college campuses and beyond.”

Critics have described it as weaponizing the accusation of antisemitism in order to silence critique of Israel.

In 2025, it was learned that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security used information supplied by Canary Mission to target students who were protesting on college campuses.

2023—Detention Centers are torture and death camps

In December 2023, the Israeli Knesset passed legislation that allows the military to detain suspects for 45 days without an arrest warrant. These are described by former detainees as torture camps, where sometimes the torture results in death.

The facilities used for this detention are military bases. One of those bases is Sde Teiman detention camp in Be'er Sheva, Israel.

Another prison is Gilboa Prison.
