Columbia/Barnard faculty have signed an open letter supporting our students, making the point that identifying with the suffering of Gazans and historically contextualizing the current war in Israel/Gaza is not anti-Semitic. Please read and share. docs.google.com/document/d/1cV…

"Gaza's religious affairs ministry has authorised burials in mass graves... some families have begun to wear identification bracelets, or are writing names on the arms of their children, to increase the chance they can be identified if they die." ft.com/content/a3fded…
