A Three-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
In this rigorous analysis published in 2024, Seamus Flaherty cuts through the polarized rhetoric surrounding Israel's war in Gaza to examine hard truths that both sides must face. His historically grounded perspective offers fresh insights for those seeking to understand the intractable conflict.
This is Charles Dickens in Hard Times, the English tory socialist’s condition-of-England novel of 1854, a broadside against the crass, materialistic utilitarianism that defined the spirit of the age, dedicated to his reactionary friend, the fellow writer and labor sympathizer, Thomas Carlyle. Substitute “Interpretations” for “Facts” and add a question mark in brackets after the phrase “boys and girls,” and we have the spirit of the third decade of the 21st century. If Jeremy Bentham was the eminent grise of early industrial British society, then Friedrich Nietzsche, refracted, to be sure, through woke ideologues such as Judith Butler on the Left and juvenile neo-reactionaries such as Nick Land and Curtis Yarvin on the Right, is the guiding intellectual light of our time. “There are no facts, only interpretations;” facts, sorry, interpretations, are what the powerful say they are.
Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
