Gershon Baskin's memoir of thirty-eight years of intensive pursuit of peace begins with a childhood on Long Island and a bar mitzvah trip to Israel with his family. Baskin joined Young Judaea back in the States, then later lived on a kibbutz in Israel, where he announced to his parents that he had decided to make aliya, emigrate to Israel. They persuaded him to return to study at NYU, after which he finally emigrated under the auspices of Interns for Peace. In Israel he spent a pivotal two years living with Arabs in the village of Kufr Qara. Despite the atmosphere of fear, Baskin found he could talk with both Jews and Palestinians, and that very few others were engaged in efforts at mutual understanding. At his initiative, the Ministry of Education and the office of right-wing prime minister Menachem Begin created the Institute for Education for Jewish-Arab Coexistence with Baskin himself as director. Eight years later he founded and codirected the only joint Israeli-Palestinian public policy think-and-do tank in the world, the Israel/Palestine Center for Research and Information. For decades he continued to cross borders, often with a kaffiyeh (Arab headdress) on his dashboard to protect his car in Palestinian neighborhoods. Airport passport control became Kafkaesque as Israeli agents routinely identified him as a security threat. During the many cycles of peace negotiations, Baskin has served both as an outside agitator for peace and as an advisor on the inside of secret talks--for example, during the prime ministership of Yitzhak Rabin and during the initiative led by Secretary of State John Kerry. Baskin ends the book with his own proposal, which includes establishing a peace education program and cabinet-level Ministries of Peace in both countries, in order to foster a culture of peace.Binding Type: Hardcover

Not perfect but a good pencil for a good price.
Not as user friendly as the original pencil and battery doesn’t seem to hold a charge very long. After about 4 hours of being charged it was down to 46%. That was intermittent use and non use, with about 3 hours actual use. To charge the original pencil I pulled off the end exposing the lightening connector and plugged it into the receptacle on my iPad. This requires a USB-C cable connection from either the charger or the iPad. Admittedly, it’s not that big a deal, but it feels like a step backwards from the original. The battery longevity is a little more irksome. The pencil is very easy to use, and I’m actually amazed at how the iPad is able to generate text when I write with it, even with my sometimes barely legible script. Much improved over the original. I can live with the minor irritations because it’s a good value for the price.

Sleek Design, Smooth Writing, and a Fun Tool for Artists and Everyday Use
The Apple Pencil (USB-C) is a streamlined and affordable option for users who want Apple’s signature precision without the premium price of higher-end models. Designed primarily for note-taking, sketching, and everyday creative tasks, it delivers the smooth, low-latency performance Apple Pencil is known for. Writing feels natural, with accurate pressure response and excellent palm rejection when used with supported iPads.
This version connects and charges via USB-C, making it convenient for users who prefer a simple wired setup and already rely on USB-C accessories. It’s lightweight, comfortable to hold, and magnetically attaches to compatible iPads for storage, though it does not support wireless charging or pairing. While it lacks advanced features like pressure sensitivity for artistic shading or double-tap gesture controls found in Apple Pencil (2nd generation), it still performs exceptionally well for students, professionals, and casual users.
However, a device compatibility check is essential before making a purchase. The Apple Pencil (USB-C) works only with select iPad models, and it does not support older Lightning-based iPads. Additionally, artists who rely on advanced drawing features may find this model somewhat limited.
Overall, the Apple Pencil (USB-C) is a well-built, reliable stylus that excels at core tasks. If your iPad is compatible and your needs are focused on writing, annotating, and basic drawing, it offers excellent value within Apple’s ecosystem.

Expensive, refined, and exactly what it should be
This is one of those products where there isn’t much to overthink it. The Apple Pencil Pro does exactly what it’s supposed to do, does it consistently, and integrates seamlessly with the iPad. It’s not cheap, and it doesn’t try to be revolutionary — it’s just very well executed.
Performance and usability
Responsiveness is excellent. There’s no noticeable latency, pairing is instant, and charging via the magnetic attachment is still one of the cleanest implementations Apple has ever done. You never think about battery life or connection issues — it just works.
The new squeeze gesture is genuinely useful and makes switching tools faster without breaking flow. The tilt support is well implemented and will be especially appreciated by artists, even if it’s not something every user relies on heavily.
Feel and design
The build quality is exactly what you’d expect. It feels solid, balanced, and premium. That said, the writing feel is still very smooth-on-smooth, which isn’t particularly pencil-like. Screen protectors help with that, but out of the box it’s not a perfect analog feel.
Color options are still nonexistent, which is a bummer but that’s always been the case.
Compatibility and pricing
Requiring the Pro model for newer iPads is frustrating, but not surprising. It’s clearly part of Apple’s broader product segmentation strategy. While that won’t sit well with everyone, the Pencil Pro itself delivers enough refinement that it doesn’t feel like a compromised purchase.
Minor quirks
On rare occasions, if the iPad hasn’t been used in a while, the Pencil may not immediately reconnect. Placing it back on the magnetic charger instantly resolves this, so it’s more of a momentary hiccup than a real issue.
Final thoughts
There’s nothing here that feels half-baked. You can nitpick price, texture, or ecosystem decisions, but in actual daily use, none of those detract meaningfully from the experience. The Apple Pencil Pro is reliable, polished, and purpose-built — which is exactly what most people want from it.
Five stars - Expensive, but extremely refined. If you’re in the iPad ecosystem, this is the best stylus experience available

Great Apple Pencil
This Apple Pencil is great! I bought it to work with my new iPad Air 11” M4. It is perfectly compatible and connected without any difficulty. I love that it attaches magnetically to my iPad to charge and there’s no separate charger. It also pairs much more easily with my iPad than my previous Apple Pencil Pro. The material is smooth but not slippery, and comfortable to hold. The tips are durable and last a long time. The pencil is accurate and glides smoothly over the iPad screen, making it a pleasure to use, especially for drawing or painting. It is a good value for the money. I’m very pleased with this purchase and would definitely buy it again.

Saved a few bucks for top quality!
I’m not a visual artist by any stretch, but I also hate not having every option at my disposal, so I bought this item used on here. The best $70 bucks I’ve ever saved. It didn’t come in an Apple box but it came in an Amazon box that was the size of an Apple box and it was padded and secure. The quality was as new as it would be coming from the Apple Store. It’s a pretty good device. It works well. I enjoy using it to make slight adjustments in my attempts to draw things and I do enjoy writing with it. Great weight and the haptics are on point when you use the options like squeezing it to change tools. It fits nicely on the top of the iPad with the magnet. Battery life has yet to drop below 95 even when I had it off the pad for a few days. I’m very happy with my purchase and I love the fact that I saved a few bucks by purchasing used.
