1. Saeb Erakat: the 2-state solution is not a favor to Israelis or Palestinians. It is necessary. #JSt2019 
2. Occupation corrupts. 3. There is no peace with settlement expansion. - Erakat #JSt2019
4. Erakat describes Trump policies: cutting aid and forcing the only cancer center in East Jerusalem to close. Closing the US Consulate in East Jerusalem.
5. Nobody gains more from peace through two-state solution than Palestinians, and nobody loses more from lack of progress. - Erakat #JSt2019
6. Erakat began with, "We may not agree on everything said today, but I applaud @jstreetdotorg making space for open discussion." #JSt2019
7. Erakat: it is doable. If not this year, in 50 years, the only solution will be State of Palestine living in peace alongside Israel, with East Jerusalem as capital. Only question is how many people will die first. #JSt2019
8. Erakat: As bad is things are, it's not about being pessimists or optimists. Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is what we can decide. Occupation will not end out of goodwill. Two state solution is possible, barriers can be reversed. #JSt2019
9. Erakat: Anti-Semitism is evil. Anti-occupation is noble. Whoever tries to mix the two is distorting reality. Describing supporters of two-state solution as self-hating Jews is despicable. #JSt2019
10. Erakat: Judaism is a noble religion, alongside Islam and Christianity. My conflict is not with religion. It is a political conflict. A national conflict. #JSt2019
11. Erakat: ISIS are not extremist Muslims. They are thugs and murderers. #JSt2019
12. Erakat: We have no right to give up. I am not intelligent enough to be a pessimist. Let's not give up. To Palestinians, I say do not despair. To Israelis and American Jews, don't give up. #JSt2019
