ICYMI: Omar El Akkad, who you may know from novels like American War, spoke on #DemocracyNow about his new book One Day Everyone Will Have Been Against This and addressed the need for institutional rather than just personal reactions to the metastasizing fascism in the US as well as the utter shared indifference to Palestinian suffering between the Democrats and Republicans. democracynow.org/2025/04/17/pa #Resist #Genocide #Fascism #Gaza #CeasefireNow #CancerCulture

Democracy Now!Author Omar El Akkad on the West’s Moral Failure in Gaza and the Power of ResistanceIn Part 2 of our interview with Omar El Akkad, he discusses the roots of his new book about the war on Gaza, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, and how he draws hope from people engaged in “active resistance.”

Significantly absent in the long obituaries for Pope Francis in both the New York Times and the Washington Post were mentions of his deep concern for the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza. In Francis’s last public message on Easter Sunday, just hours before he died, he had called for a ceasefire in Gaza, and condemned the “deplorable humanitarian situation” there.

Mondoweiss · Mainstream obituaries are erasing Pope Francis’s deep concern for PalestinePope Francis telephoned a church in Gaza nearly every night since October 2023. But the New York Times didn’t include that fact in its obituary.

From Palestinian sources: In the evening, the IOF carried out new strikes in Gaza after a short period of calm.

IOF aggression was concentrated in eastern Gaza City and Khan Younis. Strikes were reported in Shuja'iyya, Zaytoun, Sha'af, and Khan Younis and Rafah were subjected to widespread shelling and demolitions.
