In the post, Rufo, a professor at Hillsdale College, specifically identified Adhy Kim and RH Lossin from Harvard University, Eman Abdelhadi from the University of Chicago, Sophie Lewis from the University of Pennsylvania, Marty Cain and Maz Do from Cornell University, Addie Tsai from the College of William & Mary, Aaron Aceves from the University of Texas, and Joshua Nguyen from Tufts University as having signed the letter, which was titled “WRITERS IN SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE.”

Rufo linked to an archived copy of the letter in his post. “We are writers who unequivocally stand with Palestine and its fight for liberation against the illegal occupation of ‘Israel’ and the violent settler colonial apartheid state,” the letter began.

[Good. They signed the letter as a public declaration, so why shouldn’t we know their identities? — Ed]
