A bunch of Leftist anti-Israel academics condemn Canary Mission for calling them out as Leftist and anti-Israel without any proof that Canary Mission is being untruthful, and you think that proves that they are a hate site? Don't you think that at a minimum there should be some proof that Canary Mission is lying about these people? And what makes for a hate site? Merely being opposed to the political views of Leftists? Opposing Palestinian propaganda? Even assuming that Canary Mission paints with too broad a brush, given the large amount of antisemitism that lies at the foundation of the anti-Israel narrative, how does that make Canary Mission hateful?
