Omar El Akkad, a critically acclaimed author, explores hypocrisy in his upcoming book, 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This'. Triggered by his viral tweet about Gaza's destruction, El Akkad reflects on his immigration experience, his journalism career covering global conflicts, and the deeper implications of empire. The book articulates the distressing yet relieving truth about global issues that society often pretends don't exist. Scheduled for publication on February 25, the work invites readers to confront uncomfortable realities while understanding human resilience.
"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 accountable, everyone will have always been against this."
"Now, what began within the constraints of 280 characters has become a blazing and feral work of nonfiction...the story of El Akkad's immigration to the West, his lessons in hypocrisy working as a staff reporter for a paper in Canada and reporting on some of the biggest conflicts of the past two decades."
