We speak with the award-winning author and journalist Omar El Akkad, whose new book about the war on Gaza is titled One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. The book expands on a viral tweet El Akkad sent in October 2023, just weeks into Israel's genocidal assault on the Palestinian territory, decrying the muted response to the carnage and destruction unfolding on the ground.
