Gershon Baskin shares his ideas with Dariusz Rosiak of the Polish “Raport o stanie wiata” (State of the World Report) on Israel’s relationship with Hamas, the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank by Israel and the prospect of a Palestinian state.
Gershon Baskin’s interview begins at 29:11
Over 100 days after the Hamas massacre and the start of the military operation in Gaza, Israel is performing political and social vivisection. Who was at fault, why did Hamas attack? Difficult questions are asked about the meaning of the war, in which more than 20,000 Palestinians have already died and which still does not bring back home more than 130 Israeli hostages held by Hamas. Opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy is deepening, most Israelis have no doubt that he is the main responsibility for the current state of affairs.
Today, in a special issue of the Report from Israel, we will visit hostage families, talk about the deep causes of the war going much further than the events of October 7, and think about, what will the effects of this latest act be in the bloody history of Jews and Palestinians?
