I finished Omar El Akkad's
One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.
It has the same minor issue as How Democracies Die: It spends all of the pages except for the last few painting a bleak picture, not intentionally, just by telling it how it is. Then, it talks about signs of hope for a few paragraphs and ends. That bit is hard to swallow.
That said, it is a good book because it articulates that feeling when you can't believe someone is doing something terrible or something horrific is happening, and everyone else is just totally chill about it. I've experienced this many times, but the somethings were nowhere close to being as significant as genocide in Palestine.
The book is also about how journalism is and to an extent why it is that way, and El Akkad's father's experiences in Egypt, Qatar, and Canada. It talks about what it is like to immigrate for a safer life.
I'd read it, especially if you think, "Oh, 'genocide'? Is it really that, though?" or "I just don't like to think about Palestine." (I didn't know this, but I learned from the book that AOC said something like this.) It might not change your mind (and it's not a persuasion kind of book), but it'll give you interesting things to think about.
