Israeli-Palestinian peace can only be achieved through a joint partition agreement, Gershon Baskin, co-chairman of the Israel Palestine Center for Research and Information, said in a lecture titled "Is Israeli-Palestinian Peace Still Possible?" in the Rockefeller Center on Monday.
The tragedy of the conflict is that a territorial partition would easily resolve the disagreement if the Israelis and Palestinians genuinely believed that the other side also wanted peace, he said.
"Today in Israel, we cannot organize a demonstration of more than a few thousand people for peace with the Palestinians, but we have 300,000 Israelis protesting the price of cottage cheese," Baskin said.
