Gershon Baskin of the Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information speaks to luncheon at 2010 Churches For Middle East Peace (CMEP) Advocacy Conference.
CMEP works to encourage U.S. policies that actively promote a just, lasting, and comprehensive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, ensuring security, human rights and religious freedom for all the people of the region.
Each year advocates, leaders, experts and more gather in Washington, D.C. to become better informed, equipped and supported in raising our voices for U.S. policies and actions that work for justice and peace in the Holy Land. Faith leaders, issue analysts and policy experts provide important insights, resources and skills that prepare you to effectively express your concerns to elected officials and reach out locally to engage others.

The 2010 Message was Bipartisan support for peace, Gaza humanitarian crisis, shared Jerusalem, and Palestinian Christians
