April 14, 2026 SunlightHub.org c/o Public Interest Registry 11911 Freedom Drive, 10th Floor, Suite 1000 Reston, VA 20190 contact@sunlighthub.org To Whom It May Concern: I recently learned that you are building an online list of “notable people in the Greater Boston area” who have “worked with and/or supported the State of Israel”—including politicians, professors, employees of the Israeli consulate, and even those who have just “appeared at an event where . . . Israeli flags are present.” As the Antonin Scalia Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, a member of the Harvard Faculty for Israel, and a faculty coadvisor to the Harvard Law School Alliance for Israel, I am mortified not to be thought “notable” enough to be included. Perhaps I shouldn’t seek to be in any club that would have me as a member. But the State of Israel, which provides a home and a refuge to millions of ordinary people, is now fighting a deeply moral defensive war on multiple fronts against enemies devoted to its destruction—and taking far more interest in the lives of the civilians outside its borders than their own governments have. If your goal is “to show who has supported the State of Israel,” I would certainly wish for my name to be counted among them. I hope your list is updated to include me without delay. Sincerely, stephen e. sachs Antonin Scalia Professor of Law
