Only no one will trust you anymore.
In Germany the people said "Wir wussten es nicht" - “We didn't know.”
It was certainly a lie, but perhaps some really didn't know. Now, however, everyone knows! No one can say they didn't know when the children […]

“One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” by Omar El Akkad is mandatory reading. It’s comforting, upsetting, inspiring, frightening, hopeful & demanding of soul searching. I felt connected to & disconnected from humanity at the same time. It is outstanding. #OmarElAkkad #amazingbook
I went to #JuliaCumes & #LipeBorges’s photography exhibit on Cape Cod’s immigrant community. And read Omar El Akkad’s incredible One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. Here’s what emerged…

Feels like a good time to plug this book. Gets more relevant every year we inch towards the decades in this story.

I don't know how to explain how important & brain chemistry altering this book is. Vignettes of experiences interspersed with the political choices and societal prejudices that created the environments for them; juxtaposed against the horrors of a genocide. #OneDay #OmarElAkkad

"...the bedrock of polite intellectual discourse that liberalism so desperately and invariably sees as a hallmark of its own enlightenment is shown to be a phantom thing - a premise that, when most needed, cedes the floor to the concrete vocabulary of violence."

FROM AWARD-WINNING NOVELIST AND JOURNALIST OMAR EL AKKAD COMES A POWERFUL RECKONING WITH WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE IN A WEST THAT BETRAYS ITS FUNDAMENTAL VALUES. On October 25, 2023, after just three weeks of the bombardment of Gaza, Omar El Akkad put out a tweet: "One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone account-able, everyone will have always been against this." This tweet has been viewed more than 10 million times. As an immigrant who came to the West, El Akkad believed that it promised freedom. A place of justice for all. But in the past twenty years, reporting on the War on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more, and watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, El Akkad has come to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. That there will always be entire groups of human beings it has never intended to treat as fully human—not just Arabs or Muslims or immigrants, but whoever falls outside the boundaries of privilege. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is a chronicle of that painful realization, a moral grappling with what it means, as a citizen of the U.S., as a father, to carve out some sense of possibility in a time of carnage. This is El Akkad's nonfiction debut, his most raw and vulnerable work to date, a heartsick breakup letter with the West. It is a brilliant articulation of the same breakup we are watching all over the United States, in family rooms, on college campuses, on city streets; the consequences of this rupture are just beginning. This book is for all the people who want something better than what the West has served up. This is the book for our time.
