One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This; is an urgent and necessary reckoning about what it means to live in the West today. As an immigrant, Omar El Akkad believed the West offered freedom and justice for all.
Over the past twenty years he reported on the various Wars on Terror, Ferguson, climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and more.
He won awards for his journalism and his fiction. But now, watching the unmitigated slaughter in Gaza, he comes to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie. This powerful book is a chronicle of Omar's painful realisation, a moral grappling with what it means - as a citizen, as a father - to carve out some sense of possibility during these devastating times.
This is a book for those that have tired of moral emptiness. This is a book for everyone who wants something better.

G
Grant Williams This book conveys a powerful message in a very succinct way. This book conveys strong imagery of some of the events of the past in Palestine along with some of the authors own personal experiences throughout his life, including the fallout in a western world post 9/11.
Well worth reading.
