If you're worried this book will make you feel too sad or too angry--read it anyway. You can handle it. Omar El Akkad provides a brilliant examination of the all-too-many, all-too-easy ways to turn away from the genocide in Gaza, particularly for the Western liberal. El Akkad advocates for "negative resistance"--boycotting products made by companies that profit from and give money to fund genocide, opting out of voting in elections when neither candidate stands for what you believe in--and details all the ways in which we are socialized to avoid this type of protest. Capitalism thrives on participation, and the moment we stop participating, we start to make a difference. El Akkad argues that the Democratic party operates in a similar way, and the only way to force change is to reject unsatisfactory candidates and policies. Ultimately, El Akkad asserts that one day, society will be given the green light to finally publicly acknowledge the current atrocities, and we will all agree that we were always against genocide. This book pushes the reader to avoid hypocrisy, and to stand against genocide now, even before social norms allow for it.
