Report reveals 'secret web' of unlisted sites linked to pro-Israel doxxing company Submitted by Fleur Hargreaves on Wed, 01/07/2026 - 12:52 Websites connected to Canary Mission cite arrests and deportation of pro-Palestine activists as achievements A pro-Palestinian protester faces off with Wayne State University police after a student encampment was raided in Detroit, Michigan, 30 May 2024 (Reuters/Rebecca Cook) Off A new investigation by Drop Site News has uncovered several secret websites and content management systems used by Canary Mission , the anonymous doxxing platform based in Israel and used by the Trump administration to target pro- Palestine campaigners for deportation and arrest. Data collected by software engineers over a period of three months in 2025 include strategic planning documents, internal communications about meetings and quarterly plans, names of workers, contracted vendors and assessments of influence. The report, published on Tuesday, provides insight into the inner workings of the shadowy company, revealing that one of these unlisted websites, BlackNest, highlighted the deportation or dismissal of pro-Palestine students and professors as evidence of the company’s “impact”. BlackNest categorised Canary Mission’s influence on speech and US policy in suppressing opposition to Israel into several categories, including, “Change of behaviour”, job loss, denials of entry to the US, arrests, and “deportation/forced to flee”, Drop Site reports. The website was updated daily with infographics featuring “news, articles, and impacts”, compiling media mentions of Canary Mission to showcase its influence on US policy. This included, for example, an NBC report that the Department of Homeland Security testified in a trial that “most” of the names of pro-Palestine student protesters targeted for deportation came from Canary Mission. Targeting of pro-Palestine activists Canary Mission’s website contains an extensive database of students, professors and organisations who have expressed anti-Israel or antisemetic sentiment. Its declared mission is to “document individuals and organisations that promote hatred of the USA, Israel and Jews on North American college campuses and beyond”. Listed organisations include the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP). Over 30 doxxers employed by the group use fake Facebook and other social media accounts to upload personal information and track and record the activities of pro-Palestine individuals, according to the Drop Site investigation. Pro-Israel website Canary Mission used to identify students for deportation, says ICE Read More » In one example, a “Team Overview” page on BlackNest’s website applauds the efforts of staff members: “Cheri” is credited with “identifying an activist” from a viral online video, while “Nora” is praised for completing “the Stanford Arrest Profiles”. Drop Site also accessed a 21-page strategic planning document outlining the group’s focus areas, core values, targets and plans for the future. The document notes that “facial recognition software combined with scraping is efficiently producing named POIs [persons of interest].” Canary Mission’s listed goals for 2025 included distinguishing its brand from competitors, sharing data with donors, prioritising plans to scale up operations and producing 150 new profiles per week. The “Target“ section of the document lists bullet points, such as “Anonymity as a tool to scare the enemy” and “Bottom-up approach: Using individuals to take down orgs”. The investigation also found that operators attempted to create a Google Chrome extension and website called Museum of Online Antisemitism (MOA), which included code to keep doxxers private, but the project appears to have been largely abandoned. An Israeli company called Shefing, based in a WeWork office in Jerusalem and owned by French-Israeli Philippe Cohen, appears to have built code and software used by both the Canary and MOA sites. Dark Money A previous Drop Site investigation published in October sought to untangle some of the dark money funding Canary Mission. Information on donations is difficult to obtain due to extensive efforts by Canary Mission to hide its digital and financial trail. ‘StopAntisemitism’ account slammed for doxxing pro-Palestinian students Read More » A series of investigations published by The Forward magazine in 2018 reported that a US Jewish charity disclosed in its tax filings that a $100,000 donation was designated for “Canary Mission for Megamot Shalom”, a charity operating in Israel that previously had no online footprint. According to the investigation, Canary Mission is likely run by Megamot Shalom, which is owned by British-born Israeli Jonathan Bash. The reporting suggests that money is funnelled through an American nonprofit to an Israeli nonprofit. However, little remains known about the individuals who fund or operate the shadowy site, which has gone to great lengths to keep its activities and the identity of those involved secret.
