Interviews

Gershon Baskin has endorsed a version of the new Olmert-Bush nostrum for reviving a peace process with the de-Hamasified Abbas.

Gershon Baskin’s research has shown that fear of the Palestinians, lack of trust in both their aspirations and their ability to be partners for peace are the greatest obstacles to Israeli willingness to move ahead toward a peace process and toward making concessions.

Baskin gets fierce, derisive, antagonistic and even hateful responses from his reader-critics.

Gershon Baskin stated that, even if the conflict goes on, civil society continues cooperating, despite the temporary freeze in official Israeli dialogue with the Palestinian Authority, including the work of Joint Water Committee.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center may be going too far by trying to build a museum on a Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem.

Gershon Baskin explained that the conference had been planned when relations between Israelis and Palestinians had begun to look optimistic.

Gershon Baskin explains that the way he does “peace” is that when one side says something, the other side gets a chance to also say something.

Gershon Baskin claims that he knows that [Hamas Prime Minister Ismail] Haniyeh and his people want a cease-fire, and want it to be observed by Israel as well.
