Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El-Akkad is for those that are tired of moral emptiness, and for everyone who wants something better.
What We Say: “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 accountable, everyone will have always been against this.’ A howl of rage at the failure of the Western world to live up to the values of freedom and equality it claims to uphold.” – Maria Padget
What They Say: “Omar El-Akkad has put his broken heart and shredded illusions into words with tremendous insight, skill and courage. A unique and urgently needed book.” – Naomi Klein
