1. Naftali Bennett:

   The government that will be formed represents many of Israel's citizens : from Ofra to Tel Aviv, from Rahat to Kiryat Shmona. Precisely here lies the opportunity, our principle is : We will sit together, and we will forge forward on that which we agree -- and there is much we agree on, transport, education and so on -- and what separates us, we will leave to the side.

2. Eric Rubin:

   There's not much disease right now, we don't know what's going to happen. I think that's precisely the reason why we want to have these in our arsenal. Because we give an EUA to the vaccine doesn't mean we have to use it and I think we'd have to think hard how to use it, given all the concern that's been raised.

3. Judith Butler:

   When some people rejoin with 'All Lives Matter' they misunderstand the problem, but not because their message is untrue. It is true that all lives matter, but it is equally true that not all lives are understood to matter, which is precisely why it is most important to name the lives that have not mattered, and are struggling to matter in the way they deserve, if we jump too quickly to the universal formulation, 'all lives matter,' then we miss the fact that black people have not yet been included in the idea of 'all lives.'.

4. Noel Francisco:

   The attorney general is entrusted with prosecuting individual citizens and making decisions that affect the life and liberty of all Americans, so in carrying out that portion of the job, the attorney general has to be independent of narrow partisan politics. But I think it's a mistake to say that the attorney general is independent to the president in the sense that he's not, he's not there to help the president enforce the president's policy agenda. That's precisely what he's there to do.

5. Peter McWilliams:

   Acceptance is not a state of passivity or inaction. I am not saying you can't change the world, right wrongs, or replace evil with good. Acceptance is, in fact, the first step to successful action. If you don't fully accept a situation precisely the way it is, you will have difficulty changing it. Moreover, if you don't fully accept the situation, you will never really know if the situation should be changed.
