“Criticism of Israeli policy is not antisemitism. Conflating the two is a dangerous tactic to silence dissent.”

“The argument that there is no partner for peace is one that is used to absolve one side from the responsibility of making peace.”

“For Palestinians, the Nakba is not a historic event, it is an ongoing process.”

“Palestinian freedom is not a zero-sum game with Jewish safety.”

“There is no military solution to this conflict. The solution must be political and based on rights and international law.”

“The status quo is not sustainable, and it is not static. It is a process of ongoing dispossession.”

“The idea that you can bomb a people into submission or into moderation is a failed one.”

“The two-state solution has been used more as a process than a means to an end. A process for managing the conflict, rather than resolving it.”

“The language of 'both sides' often serves to create a false equivalency between the occupier and the occupied.”

“Peace cannot be built on a foundation of injustice. True peace requires justice and equality for all.”

“Solidarity is not about speaking for the voiceless, but about amplifying the voices of the oppressed.”

“The demand for Palestinians to recognize Israel's 'right to exist as a Jewish state' is a way of asking them to legitimize their own dispossession.”

“You can't expect people to stand for a moment of silence for you when you're cheering for their death.”

“The goal of hasbara is not to win the argument, but to drown it out in noise.”
