#AmReading One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by
#OmarElAkkad.

Its rage, its beauty, and its language stop me in my tracks. This book is a devastatingly eloquent indictment of Western complicity in genocide; a condemnation of the moral emptiness of those who do the killing, finance it, and justify it; and a challenge to those who turn away, who keep silent.

I started reading "One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This" by Omar El Akkad.

It's really good. It's also really depressing. Why do I always choose books that concern such horrible topics.

I bought the new book by Omar El Akkad
“One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.” More out of solidarity than to actually read it. And also his bestseller “American War”

This is not a novel, but this is how it will be. Mexico will take back #Texas and #California, and the #South will rise up after decades of humiliation. And the #Yankees will live in gated communities and continue to tell themselves that they are the good guys.

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 were murdered. Again. Take note, those who don't want to see it. This time, they won't get away with it.
