Jednom će biti da su svi oduvijek bili protiv toga

Omar el Akkad

A poignant nonfiction book in which the award-winning novelist and journalist sharply criticizes Western indifference to the war in Gaza, hypocrisy, and the limits of compassion in the modern world.

Someday It Will Be That Everyone Was Always Against It is a powerful non-fiction book by Canadian-Egyptian writer and journalist Omar El Akkad. The book is a personal, lucid, and furious manifesto about the war in Gaza, Western hypocrisy, and the limits of human compassion. El Akkad, who reported from war zones as a journalist, writes from the perspective of a father and an immigrant who once believed in Western ideals of justice and humanity. He now witnesses those ideals collapsing in the face of mass civilian suffering, especially children.

In a style that combines essayism, memoir, and sharp political criticism, the author dissects the mechanisms of media propaganda, political hypocrisy, and social indifference. The book simultaneously explores what it means to be a father in a world of violence and how to raise a child while the world actively participates in the destruction of other children.

This is one of the most provocative and discussed non-fiction books of 2025 — a bold, uncomfortable, and unavoidable reflection on the moral state of the West in the 21st century. Ideal for readers seeking a deep, personal, and uncompromising confrontation with current global conflicts.
