Walk the Green Line

Gershon Baskin :

Walk the Green Line is taking off!

We need your help to make it a success.

IPCRI is looking for dedicated peace makers and supporters of IPCRI to join with us to enlisting participants for Walk the Green Line from all over the world.

This is not `mission impossible`. If we had 5 participants from 20 different countries, we will meet our target of 100 participants. We need your help to enlist at least five people from your area.

Just a reminder – What is Walk the Green Line?

Walk the Green Line is…..

Your opportunity to experience what the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is all about.

Your opportunity to meet with Israeli and Palestinian peacemakers.

Your chance to take a stand on the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Your moment to make a real contribution towards peace making.

You can make a difference.

You can participate in a hands-on experience that will translate your values into practice.

Walk the green line is for you!

Gershon Baskin

Gershon Baskin is one of the most recognizable names in the Middle East Peace process. He is a political and social entrepreneur who has dedicated his life to peace between Israel and its neighbors. His dedication to creating a culture of peace and environmental awareness, coupled with his impeccable integrity, has earned him the trust of the leaders of all sides of the century old conflict. Few people have such far-reaching and positive impacts on promoting peace, security, prosperity and bi-national relationships. Gershon is an advisor to Israeli, Palestinian and International Prime Ministers on the Middle East Peace Process and the founder and director of IPCRI, the Israeli-Palestinian Public Policy Institute. He was the initiator and negotiator of the secret back channel between Israel and Hamas for the release of 1,027 prisoners – mainly Palestinians and Arab-Israelis of which 280 were sentenced to life in prison, including Yahya Sinwar, the current Palestinian leader of the Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The prisoners were imprisoned for planning and perpetrating various attacks against Jewish targets that resulted in the killing of 569 Israelis in exchange for one Israeli soldier, Gilad Schalit. Gershon is actively involved in research and advocacy concerning topics such as social policy, environmental security, political strategy, peace education, economics, culture and in the development of affordable solar projects with the goal of providing clean electricity for 50 million people by 2020. He is a founding member of Kol Ezraheiha-Kol Muwanteneiha (All of the Citizens) political party in Israel. He is now directing The Holy Land Bond and is the Middle East Director for ICO – International Communities Organization - a UK based NGO working in conflict zones with failed peace processes.

Gershon Baskin believes that It is hard to recognize through the anger and the desire for revenge that a solution is in front of us. But it is there. It is not easy and it requires a lot of work. It will require that we make great efforts to learn from the failures of the past.
