Episode Synopsis

“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.”This was a tweet posted by award-winning Egyptian-Canadian novelist and journalist Omar El Akkad on X in October 2023. It is also the title of his recently published New York Times Bestseller which has also been shortlisted for the 2025 Palestine Book Awards. A memoir, and a reckoning with what it means to live in a West that betrays its fundamental values. Omar spent the past two decades reporting on major world events, the so-called War on Terror, Ferguson, climate change and more. And for almost 2 years now, watching the carnage, the genocide in Gaza, enabled by the West.
