Gershon Baskin believes that Israel’s most serious problem is its leadership crisis.
Netanyahu must go.
He is responsible for the destruction of any chance of a peaceful democratic nation state of the Jewish people
He incites against 21% of Israel’s citizens
He breeds and fosters hatred between left and right, between religious and non-religious.
He refuse to engage the Palestinian leadership because he knows he has nothing to offer them) don’t believe the lies of his calling on Abu Mazen to enter negotiations and that it is Abu Mazen’s fault that there are no negotiations – I know for a fact that this is a lie)
We have no serious opposition leadership in the country that can confront Netanyahu in elections and win.
Our opposition leadership is empty – Herzog-Livni present no real challenge and no alternative – the public doesn’t believe that they can deliver and they refuse to demonstrate that peace is a real option
Livni continues to blame Abu Mazen for the failure of the talks that she led when she knows very well that the talks were a charade (there were no negotiations at all from December 2013 – April 2014) and that Netanyahu’s man- Yitzhak Molcho prevented any real negotiations – even prevented putting a map on the table
Herzog continues to bad-mouth the Palestinian leadership rather than engaging them with a genuine peace plan
Lapid is an empty populist shell trying to gain votes on the ticket of Arab hating
Palestinian violence continues and will get worse without any political and economic change oin the ground
Settlements continue to grow and the occupation digs in deeper and deeper with each passing day
Hope is no longer in the offing
There are some potential leaders out there who have not yet stepped into the arena – what are they waiting for? The distance between where are are now and a serious chance of peace remains LEADERSHIP.
