Letter shared by Katherine Franke[edit]

I am trying to find a copy of this open letter, from students at Columbia, and reportedly shared by Katherine Franke. There is much discussion about it, but I have not been able to find the actual text of this letter. Please post it here, or post a link to it. Thank you.

Colombia Letter and Response[edit]

@84.110.128.130, I don't want to engage in an edit war. While the whole situation may suffer from recentism, I don't believe it's appropriate to give so much space to a clearly non-neutral source. Pointing out Franke wrote a letter and some of her colleges were critical is more than sufficicent. -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 20:50, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@84.110.128.130 - The problem with even the revised blocktext

“There is no justification for raping and murdering ordinary citizens in front of their families, mutilating babies, decapitating people...We are horrified that anyone would celebrate these monstrous attacks or, as some members of the Columbia faculty have done in a recent letter, try to 'recontextualize' them as a 'salvo,' as the 'exercise of a right to resist' occupation, or as 'military action."

is the only relevant part is the end, which is fairly summarized by "faculty criticized Franke's letter". Franke's letter calls for none of the former claims and does not "celebrate" the attacks. Its inclusion only aims to sensationalize and push a POV that is unnecessary. -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 21:17, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
