Today is Land Day.
50 years ago today, six un-armed Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces and more than 100 were injured during protests against Israel’s confiscation of Palestinian land.
Palestinians observe today by holding protest marches and planting olive trees.
‘One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This’ by Omar El Akkad is the winner of the National Book Awards 2025 for Nonfiction.
The book explores how events such as the genocide in Gaza have changed the author’s perception of the West — a place he believed to be of “justice for all” when first arriving 20 years ago.
