‘Israel’s allies are still buying time for Israel to change course or come to a deal with Hamas over how many trucks to allow in, as though food were a legitimate bargaining chip. Gazans cannot afford to wait for either.’

Alive
The rubble is alive with people returning sweeping cleaning surveying searching for water re-making shelter declaring again and again and again: This is my home.

We are alarmed and shocked by the arrest and detainment of our author and colleague Mahmoud Muna, along with his nephew Ahmad Muna, owners and booksellers of Jerusalem’s Educational Bookshop.

Please share our statement below widely.

Just one week to go until Omar El Akkad's first UK event about One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.

Join us in London, Edinburgh, Dublin or online - or pick up a copy. You won't regret it. buythebook.online/one-day-ever...
A red hardback book appears to float in midair against a white background. On its jacket reads "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." The words "One day, everyone will have always been against this" are picked out in white, with the rest of the text in black. The author's name, Omar El Akkad, is written at the bottom of the jacket in orange. A quote: "Is this the most needed book for our times? Absolutely" - Rabih Almeddine on Omar El Akkad's One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This A quote: "Please read this. I promise you won't regret it." - Tommy Orange on Omar El Akkad's One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This A quote: "This magnificent book should, and will, be required reading for future generations" - Tea Obreht on Omar El Akkad's One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This
