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

“We demand that Palestinians produce Gandhis, and when they do, American Jewish organizations work to criminalize their boycotts and Israeli soldiers shoot them in the knees. No matter what strategy Palestinians employ in their fight for freedom, the Israeli government and its American Jewish allies work to ensure that it fails.”
― Peter Beinart, Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning

“So many of the bad things that happen in the world come from people pretending to be something they’re not.”

“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.”
