My personal story:: Gershon Baskin, Ph.D., is the Israeli Co-Director and founder of the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information (IPCRI) - a joint Israeli-Palestinian public policy think. Gershon initiated the founding of IPCRI in 1988 following ten years of work in the field of Jewish-Arab relations within Israel, in Interns for Peace, the Ministry of Education and as Executive Director of the Institute for Education for Jewish-Arab Coexistence (established by the Israeli Ministry of Education and the Prime Minister’s Office). Gershon has published books and hundreds of articles in the Hebrew, English and Arabic press about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict including: A Model Interim Agreement, Aspects of Internal Security in During the Interim Period, The Future of Jerusalem , How to Conduct Business in the Palestinian Territories , The Future of the Israeli Settlements in Final Status Negotiation, and more. Gershon meets regularly with Israeli and Palestinian policy makers at their invitation as well as similar people from the international diplomatic community and international organizations. During the Premiership of the late Yitzhak Rabin, he served as an outside policy advisor of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Gershon was a member of the Jerusalem Experts Committee established by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office during the Final Status Negotiations in 2000-2001. Gershon holds a Ph.D. in International Affairs. His dissertation was on Sovereignty and Territory in the Future of Jerusalem, parts of which were published as a book Jerusalem of Peace.

As I noticed on your page this "MAKOMOT – The Israeli Center for Environment Mediation", I thought you might like to explore the political opportunity of the World Social Forum to take place on January 24-29.

It will be thematic on Social and Environmental Justice. I think ME Peace might help organize an Israeli-Palestinian presence to bring problems such as water etc.

If you´d like to start studying about the Forum, I and my friends in Brazil can help you on that.

In addition to representing "Middle East Peace", MEPEACE combines the words "ME" and "PEACE". Middle East peace starts with each of us! As the founder of IPCRI, as a peacemaker and as a person, Gershon Baskin represents the commitment and courage we strive for in realizing peace:
