Well, it’s been about a week since Canary Mission launched and every day has been an adventure. We have seen amazing feedback, people who realize that what we’re doing is important and vital in the fight against those who seek the destruction of freedom. We have also seen the very worst of people- the screamers, the threateners, the “human rights advocates” and the hate-mongers. Of course, we expected them. They run the dialogue of Twitter and Facebook but the volume, the nastiness and the absolute inability to dialogue have left us dumbfounded.

You see, that is the way of those who seek our fall. There is no room for dialogue, no ability to listen - there is just blame and shriek. It is impossible for them to believe that there are two sides to the Israeli-Palestinian issue. It is unheard of that maybe anti-Semitism is creeping like a plague onto college campuses, being aided and abetted by the growing list of threatening and hate-fomenting organizations like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), the Muslim Student Association (MSA) and the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

It is beyond the realm of their comprehension that maybe we are highlighting radicalism in order to end the racial divide that we see on campus and start a dialogue over how to fix things. Maybe, just maybe, the solution is not for America to be called a force for evil in this world or for Israel to be thrown into the sea. Maybe there is another way.

Many on Twitter and Facebook would rather use racial epithets (the amount of times we’ve been referred to as “nasty Jews” would astound you) while asking us to be transparent with who we are and how we are funded. Let’s delve a little deeper into that issue for a second. Why is it so important who we are? Maybe you want to know so you can threaten us, discredit us or punish us. Many our detractors just want to know who we are so they can physically harm us.

These people seem so upset about the fact that anti-freedom activists’ "privacy" is being violated…obviously they realize the hypocrisy in wanting to violate our privacy, right?” Wrong! Anyone who stands “on principle”, demanding our names and addresses is doing so for the EXACT reasons that they think we are publicizing the information on our website. Except we are not posting anyone's address but reposting their own words and deeds - we are amplifying their public views, posted on social media. This it seems acts as a deterrent for students who want to spend their college careers demonstrating against democratic countries.

The most important thing to remember is that Canary Mission is not making anything up. We’re not weaving some horrible narrative about these "peaceful" young students who just try and make their way quietly through four years of university. These are students who align themselves with organizations that make the destruction of our Western values their goal and purpose. These are the people who draft BDS resolutions and bring them to a vote time and time again until they’re passed – resolutions whose end goal is nothing short of the dissolution of the State of Israel. These are people who run for student government offices, so they can wield their power against the pro-Israel students on campus. These are students who intimidate with mock checkpoints and “apartheid walls” and post mock eviction notices in campus dormitories. These are people who block appointments of students to positions in student government based on their “pro-Israel” status.

And what does Canary Mission actually do? Do we modify their pictures, or distort their videos and words? No. We aggregate what they have done and what they have said, and we present it to the public.

If you are someone who thinks that being a pro-Palestinian advocate has nothing to do with any of this, that’s fine. But detractors who hate what Canary Mission realize how important our work is. Perhaps, it terrifies you that a group of pro-freedom advocates are actually calling you out on the rising tide of hatred that you are bringing to North American campuses. And if this, indeed is the case, stay tuned, we are not going away.
