"We have to reject Israel's attempts to make pariahs out of organizations and individuals. ... The best defense is to increase our numbers, to increase our voices, to make it clear that we're not going to let people be dragged under the bus in silence and alone." - Dima Khalidi

"We see our job really as making sure that efforts to make people and groups radioactive don't work, that people aren't isolated, that they have the confidence and the courage to keep going and doing the work ... to reject the goal of intimidation and silencing."
"Part of this is the critical work of connecting our issues. We're not alone here. The repression is not unique. We know that governments throughout history have repressed dissent. We have to learn from those movements historically and ally with those movements here."
"Should we all then stop doing activism and start working on defense? Absolutely not. We should do more Israeli Apartheid Week events. We should do more BDS events." - Omar Barghouti
"We should do more coalition building with Black justice movements, Indigenous, Latino/Latina, women's groups, LGBT groups, climate justice groups, progressive Jewish groups. We should continue expanding, growing, mainstreaming our demands."
