Nearly two dozen groups at Columbia University signed a joint letter in the wake of an attack on Israel that left 1,200 dead and at least 2,700 wounded. That letter suggested such violence was inevitable, saying, “If every political avenue available to Palestinians is blocked, we should not be surprised when resistance and violence break out.”
They also hinted at violence, saying, “there can be no future of safety and freedom for all Israelis and Palestinians without holding the Israeli occupation accountable for its actions and putting an end to the untenable status quo of Israel's apartheid and colonial system.”
These are the names that Accuracy in Media was able to independently confirm as holding leadership roles within groups who signed the letter. AIM has removed the names of students from groups who withdrew their support of the letter. The letter initially included the names of the groups signing, but has since removed the list.
