This is long overdue and also excellent reporting. Thanks you. I live in a smallish tow in Ontario where we recently tried to hold a Town Hall with our MP and speakers from ArmsEmbargoNow and a Canadian medic who has done extensive research on Gaza and the rest of Palestine and has also worked there over the past 25 months.

Our Town Hall had to be canceled after thousands of bot-driven emails, generated from Canary Mission prompted a security assessment and lead to us need to pay for the presence of 6 police officers as well as security.

Citizens are frustrated and furious at how hostile pro-Israel groups like Canary Mission are allowed to operate as shadowy fascists and to interfere at almost every level of civil society in Canada and the US and clearly, many parts of the world. I hope investigations like yours succeed in outing this creepy and dangerous organization.

Thanks for your work investigating this dark, dangled web of genocide enablers. Is there any way to target these oh-so-respectable zionists as foreign agents of the State of Israeli?

The US may become unsafe for jews because of all THIS deceitful, underhanded BS! No one would need Alyia if these zionists would stop promoting ethnic nationalism and hate. WTAF?

That’s the whole point though .

There is no better proponent of antisemitism than the actual Zionists.

The Israeli state and the ADL are perfect examples of this. It’s in their interests to amplify and propagate antisemitism.

exactly... I grew up around the biggest false sense of victimhood. the temple that I went to growing up has always had (and still has) an Israeli flag right outside, and the Rabbi's sermon during the high holidays was almost laughably just one long complaint about how the world does not love Israel enough.

First, excellent investigative work, Jacqueline.

Taking a step back from the details, the pro-Israeli outfits like Canary Mission, Betar US, AIPAC and others are now in a panic mode because of the sea change in American public opinion towards Israel (not Jews, as they always imply) since 2023.

Their money is now fighting against a rising tide of criticism of Israel, especially among young Americans (including Jewish Americans). Witness the massive support for Zohran Mamdani in New York City, which has the largest Jewish population in the world outside of Israel.

The dam has broken open to criticism of Israel and flooding money will no longer reverse that, thank God.

It’s chilling to see how far-reaching the machinery of repression can be, from Long Island to the Baltics. Thank you for exposing how secrecy and money intertwine to target activists and control narratives.

Reading that yet another South African, Kim Bash has continued the racist, vile trends of apartheid and is spreading them makes me want to throw up.

Was it not enough to have lived a life of luxury there and brought along the accumulated wealth made on the backs of the indigenous population?
