Gershon Baskin claims that Israel can’t be overrun with Palestinian refugees, because then there will be two Palestinian states, and no Jewish state.

Gershon Baskin has presented a demonstration voyage plan that uses waterbag technology to transport Turkish water to Gaza to various Israeli, Turkish, Palestinian, Jordanian and American government and business representatives.

Gershon Baskin admits that chances for his peace plan are close to zero, and added that unless affirmative action is taken internationally, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will rumble on indefinitely.

Paul Woodward reveals The connection that Gershon Baskin had with a member of the prime minister’s family in the passing of messages to Olmert about the case of the kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

Baskin, who has a long background in encouraging Israeli-Palestinian contacts, believes that the failure to pursue the overtures was a lost opportunity that contributed to the outbreak of conflict.

According to the report, veteran Israeli peace activist Gershon Baskin was at the center of attempts to open negotiations. He was in touch with senior members of Hamas, Israeli officials and Olmert, via the member of his family.

Baskin says that two weeks before Cast Lead began, he arranged a meeting with Hamas which produced an offer to link the release of Shalit to the lifting of the blockade.

According to Baskin, Israel’s failure to consider Hamas’ offer for talks directly led to the loss of life and destruction.
