Special Edition Israel-Palestine Conflict Podcast

The Philosophical Origins of Nationalism, the Nakba of Sudetenland, and The British-Arab League Alliance: Taking the Long View with Mendel Uminer

The other day I was on a long drive with my friend Mendel Uminer and I asked him to explain the Israel-Palestine conflict to me. He began by explaining to me the theories of the 18th century German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder. Several centuries of history and several hours of our drive later, I realized I had just heard a perspective that wasn’t being offered anywhere else. So I asked Mendel to come to my apartment and say it all again into a microphone. This conversation is the result of that request. We chatted a bit about literature and theories of the novel first. Skip to the 21:00 mark if you want to miss all that.

If you enjoyed this, or want me to do more podcasts, let me know. I’m not against it, I suppose.

Music by Thomas Amedeo
