What I found is a pattern of government and mainstream right-wing sources laundering the work of Canary Mission, and even Betar—an organization whose militant Zionism is so radical that the Israel apologists at the Anti-Defamation League designated it extremist. Often without evidence, these groups have smeared their perceived ideological opponents as neo-Nazis, terrorists, and threats to national security. Congresspeople and right-wing think tanks now regularly cite Canary Mission, whose staff lives in Israel, as an authoritative source on alleged antisemitism at American universities. Lawyers and supporters of Palestinian rights have described Canary Mission and Betar as conduits for harassment and threats of violence, including rape.
