“I wanted desperately to be in the world, telling stories of consequence – stories that, had you not read about them in my articles, you wouldn’t have read at all.

Everything else, to paraphrase the common saying about meetings and emails, could’ve been a press release.” One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad #books #literature #gaza #genocide #occupation
