Peter Beinart
“Palestinian support for violence goes up when Palestinian hopes of freedom go down.”
Peter Beinart, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning

Peter Beinart
“When a Jewish state denies most of its Palestinian residents citizenship and denies all of them legal equality, it is not merely offering Jews the right to determine their own lives. It is offering them dominance over another people. And under international law, there is a word for legal dominance based on ethnicity, religion, or race—a word that Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and even Israel’s own leading human rights group, B’Tselem, say applies to Israel. It is not “self-determination.” It is “apartheid.”
Peter Beinart, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning

Mieko Kawakami
“Why does the night have to be so beautiful? As I walk through the night, I remember what Mitsutsuka said to me. “Because at night, only half the world remains.”
Mieko Kawakami, All the Lovers in the Night

Gabrielle Zevin
“What is a game?" Marx said. "It's tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It's the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Peter Beinart
“We are not history’s permanent virtuous victims. We are not hardwired to forever endure evil but never commit it. That false innocence, which pervades contemporary Jewish life, camouflages domination as self-defense. It exempts Jews from external judgment. It offers infinite license to fallible human beings.”
Peter Beinart, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning
