Omri Boehm

philosopher Israel

Omri Boehm is a prominent Israeli philosopher known for his work in political theory and historical memory. He is recognized for advocating a binational Jewish-Palestinian state as a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a stance that has drawn significant criticism within Israel. His works, including 'Radical Universalism: Beyond Identity', emphasize humanistic values and equality, challenging prevailing narratives about identity and conflict. Recently, his planned speech at the memorial for the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp was canceled due to tensions with Israeli government representatives, highlighting the controversial nature of his views, particularly regarding the Holocaust and its commemoration.
