Gershon Baskin strongly believes that no stone sanctified by man is worth the blood, death and destruction that its sanctification brings.

Gershon Baskin recommends that we climb down from positions of ultimatums and work together towards ensuring that we don’t reach another round of horrific violence spurred by religious fervor.

Gershon Baskin firmly believes that no walls or fences will ever enable our two people to live without regard for the other. Those walls must come down, but that will only happen through engagement and real peace between Israel and Palestine and not from Palestine in place of Israel
