"I'll sound like a broken record, but I don't think we are yet capable of understanding the psychiatric/psychological impact on carrying out our lives in the middle of a genocide. There's the relentless images coming out of Gaza of lifeless bodies, unrecognizable piles of remains, utter destruction, etc. But there's also a linguistic component that I've been drawn to. How we consume media, what preconditions we accept without interrogation, who holds the power to shape narratives. These are the questions that Mohammed relentlessly pursues. This is not a book to make you feel good or coddle your feelings and comfort in how you currently see the world. It's meant to push you to question yourself and learn how to question others."
