“Attending a talk or a workshop by Nevet Basker is a life-changing event. She has a special talent for gathering in people from all sides of the ideological spectrum and uniting them through education, understanding and shared values. Her insights are bold, surprising and new, and help guide those in attendance through the maze of Israel-Palestine issues to see essential truths more clearly than ever before.” — Robert Wilkes, Writer and political activist
“Nevet has the only approach to Israel I have seen that penetrates the ears of listeners across all age and political viewpoints. While her content is fascinating, having such a unifying presentation is why I got more out of her speaking engagement than any other. Not only did we learn the important facts trimmed of all the fat, but in the end, our entire community felt much closer and more unified. To bring people together over Israel, an issue that is often the source of division, is a true skill that Nevet has obviously perfected over her rich experience in community education. In addition, as a member of the next generation/college-age students, Nevet’s presentation style is perfect. She is engaging and funny, while instilling a real sense of the heaviness of the matter and the urgency to take action. Whereas most lecturers, well, lecture, after hearing Nevet, I felt more as if she had laid the groundwork for my own epiphany.” — Joshua Newson, New York
