Read it on your way to a protest - or after - or because you've decided not to go. Especially now.

My review in Storygraph of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

The author weaves in his own experience as he, often through the lens of the Palestinian struggle against settler colonialism, discusses the failures of the American capitalist war machine and political system designed to grind us all down.

If you're conservative Republican, maybe you'll enjoy the critiques of liberals. If you're a Democrat, this could unmoor you in the best way. If you're neither, idk -- everyone needs to read it. See if your moral compass holds up to scrutiny.

To those whose red line is not genocide, those vote blue no matter who white moderates, those politically expedient lesser of two evils liberals-- at least fight against the theft of your soul.

Book cover for One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

By Omar El Akkad author of American War

Picture is black on a red background of a bomb falling on a small girl in a dress. She has braided pigtails. In her left hand is a flower losing petals. She is raising two fingers in a peace sign with her right hand.

ONE DAY, EVERYONE WILL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AGAINST THIS by Omar El Akkad
~~~
To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.

No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul.

So here are my thoughts on Pay No Heed to the Rockets by Marcello Di Cintio. It was on some Palestine reading lists, but the time was disappointing. Literature references were amazing.

Last page is attached.

@palestine @israel

I'm going to be honest: there are big pros and big cons. Big CN or TW for Orientalism. There are very good stories here, but the lens he's looking through will annoy the crap out of you if you're familiar with the history of the region or of resistance to occupation or international law.

Let's start with the good aspects. Di Cintio was a writer in residence in Palestine at one time - you can tell he loves literature and includes Palestinian literature in that. He highlights gay authors and meets and talks to so many poets and writers I can't list them all. He was able to tell their stories and draw out details I'd never heard them say elsewhere. If nothing else, you'll get a ton of titles and authors (&movies) for your to-read list!

When he gets into the storytelling, there's the Khalidi library, theft of books during the Nakba.(&movie called thre Great Book Robbery), intricate smelly details of how books are smuggled out of prison, role of Tamer Institute for Community Education, stories of collecting info for All That Remains - book of erased Palestinian villages, I enjoyed descriptions of the places he goes inside 48, the West Bank and Gaza, he has a detailed description of a humiliating checkpoint, there's the story of Jamal Abu Qumsan and the Gallery Café where artists meet, Kashabi Theater Company, the story of a salon for women authors, meeting Anni Kanafani, Mohammed El-Kurd, Atef Abu Saif, Abbad Yahya, khulud khamis, Dalia Taha, Adila Laïdi, Salha

Hamdeen, Anahid Mlikian, Suha Arraf, Asmaa Azaizeh, Mona Abu Sharekh, Asmaa al-Ghul, Mayy Nayef, Sumaiya al-Susi, Rana Mourtaja and more.

Di Cintio seems to be sympathetic to Palestinian pain and injustices, but when confronted with negative things about Israel, he can't seem to wrap his brain around it - he puts things Palestinians tell him they've experienced in quotes, it's all "he claims," "allegedly," and never allows a Palestinian permission to be angry or advocate for freedom by any means necessary. They must be unarmed and nonviolent in his opinion. He doesn't have such requirements for Israel or Israelis, like the Western country he comes from.

A few examples:
He said of the Israeli policy of blackmailing gay Palestinians to become informants that the person he spoke to suggested this was the case. He could've verified this with books, journalism and human rights organizations in 2018. It's a fact. He doesn't seem to be able to believe this about Israel, though.

He repeats some easy false history, the US/Canada summary, of the "conflict" as he calls it - Jews accepted partition, Palestinians rejected it. I hope he reads Khalidi's Hundred Years War or Ilan Pappé's work with Said or Khalidi. They can help him out of that with what actually happened.

In his meeting with Anni Kanafani, Di Cintio shares his view that Ghassan Kanafani was assassinated in retaliation for planning the Lod airport attack with the Red Army (he labels them terrorists).

Anni corrected him that Israel's plan was to liquidate intellectuals. (You can see this in the recent 2023 Israeli assault too - they called Refaat Alareer, taunted him, then leveled his building. Anyone good at communicating the struggle to Americans/Westerners is a target. It's repeated with journalists, professors, doctors.) Di Cintio still struggles for pages as he looks at photos of Kanafani, whose work he loves, with the possibility that he also could've killed someone. First, his widow said his weapon was a pen and Israel knew he was dangerous with that weapon. Second, under the daily violence Israel inflicts on the captive population, if he did plan an attack or kill someone - that would not invalidate his literary genius or the fact that Palestinians deserve equality, a life, self-determination, freedom as much as he does, as much as Israelis do. If he did plan an attack or kill someone, it certainly wouldn't in any way justify Israel's actions, occupation, collective punishment, attacks on occupied people, disproportionate violence, being THE CAUSE of the entire situation, cycle, conflict, etc - 75 years of genocide. I got really annoyed with the author at that point - just on page 21!

He loves talking to the Israeli curator of stolen Palestinian books now absorbed into their collection and also in a separate room. They say it's destruction and conservation, demolition and salvage - as though there's beauty or confusion there, but why isn't Di Cintio as

mad as I am, as mad as one might be if a Nazi with a museum full of Holocaust victims' belongs looted from their house or taken from them at concentration camps from jewelry to furniture to teeth and saying, wow, aren't you glad I was there to save all these artifacts? It's obscene! A shrine to the massive continued injustice. It's not conservation. It's gloating over mass murder and large scale theft.

One of his interview subjects said her relative suffered intestinal illness brought on by his Israeli captors treatment of him - he used the word "claimed" as though he doubts seriously Israel caused such a thing. He hasn't read up on Israeli prisons, clearly. In the sae conversation, he couldn't believe a militant Marxist could write a sweet sappy letter to his mother. He doesn't believe the Palestinian is a person, does he?

I was annoyed of El-Kurd's behalf when Di Cintio refused to believe that an Israeli doctor tried to get his mother to abort him but not his twin sister as a demographic strategy. Instead of investigating or bringing up that Israel does experiments on prisoners and sells Palestinian organs with doctors' help, so it's possible, he just dismisses it and says, wow, look how much the sides mistrust each other.

The last annoyance I'll highlight is something he said to Atef Abu Saif asking about The Drone Eats With Me. Di Cintio wanted to know if it was a deliberate omission not to mention the

If you like this quote or sentiment - those who seek to ban books are never on the right side of history - this is for you. Israel is on the wrong side with Desantis (a US Republican politician) and his ilk, but much worse.

I'm new to this server, but not to the internet. This is my anonymous account that I am hoping to use more liberally than my personal account.

While I'm very vocal on my named account, I hold back because I have to make a living.

Here I will be able to say with my full chest that the GOP is the new Nazi party, and Trump is the new Hitler. That name must be shamed and used with the same vitrol as Hitler.

That feels good to get out there.

1/6 A thread from a 2008 book that says things ppl still try to say aren't true or isn't happening. The info has always been there!

"The problem for Zionists is...that the land that they want comes with non-Jews already on it."

Palestine Inside Out by Saree Makdisi
https://bookshop.org/p/books/palestine-inside-out-an-everyday-occupation-saree-makdisi/8854601

@palestine @israel

p13 "At heart, the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is actually very simple. It is not about religion. It is not about security. It is not about terrorism. It is about land. Or, to be more precise, it is a struggle that, as the late Israeli sociologist Baruch Kimmerling put it, is driven by two mutually exclusive impulses within Zionism, with "one Zionist imperative--to possess the largest possible amount of sacred land--contradicting the other Zionist imperative--to ensure a massive Jewish majority inhabiting a land that was preferably free of all Arabs." The problem for Zionists is--and has always been--that the land that they want comes with non-Jews already on it."

I finished Sinwar's The Thorn and the Carnation. Worth a read imo.

The Thorn and the Carnation by Yahya Sinwar
This is the second half. What to say.
Here's a few sort of negative things and then a few positive.

Some parts are repeated sort of - but that's due to it being smuggled out of prison in parts. He should get a pass.

I also have to say that as a "novel" I can't really say that there's necessarily a fictional plot. I've read some articles about the work and it seems he may have wanted to chronicle a part of Palestinian history of the resistance using composite characters and not necessarily centering himself. It does read more like a history in parts because the events actually did happen. You can decide what you think about that.

Whatever you think about the story or classification, I think he did well in this second half covering differing viewpoints of the Palestinian people, the different attitudes toward Oslo, toward resistance operations, toward what was called suicide bombings and other elements.

Definitely worth a read - especially given the author's role in the resistance and his demise. I think it'll provide some insight you don't expect, especially if you're used to reading US commentary on the Palestinian struggle for rights and self determination.

The ethnic cleansing and treatment of Palestinians by Israel, it's too much, I am sick. Every one is wholly an example of Israeli Zionist depravity - they kill animals and torture/kill humans. It's sickening but necessary reading - we MUST get these stories to as many eyes as possible.
