Omri Boehm

Recenzje

"Democratic visions such as Boehm s [are] essential to frame a practical discourse of shared liberation."  Steve France, Monodweiss

Omri Boehm attempts to reconcile Israel s history with the demands of justice. His ideas are radical just as much as they are hopeful. Boehm is one of the most important philosophers of his generation. Susan Neiman
 
[The] most important book on the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict . . . that has appeared in recent years. Micha Brumlik, Die Zeit

Boehm elegantly synthesizes a tortuous history and offers an imaginative model for Israel s political future Kirkus Reviews

Expansive. . . [Haifa Republic is] a life-raft for the followers of a liberal Zionism now floating aimlessly off the coastal city. Shaul Magid, +972 Magazine

[Haifa Republic is a] brave and sleek polemic. . . Boehm makes a stimulating case for the fact that Zionism s fathers (including Menachem Begin!) would have agreed with Israel being a joint, sovereign state. . . . Boehm s agile blade, swung in the cause of recognizing reality, cuts both ways, and that lends his book its persuasiveness. Bill Marx, The Arts Fuse
