Omar El Akkad reflects on his evolving perception of America in his latest non-fiction book, 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This'. Growing up in a multicultural environment, he initially viewed America as a symbol of freedom, but the US's military actions, particularly the bombardment of Gaza post-October 7 attacks, caused a significant shift. El Akkad's work tracks his internal conflict and critiques the complicity of political and cultural institutions in violence, revealing a profound disillusionment with the ideals he once cherished and the complexities of global conflict.
Omar El Akkad’s new book explores his crisis of faith in America, triggered by the recent bombardment of Gaza, exposing the complicity of power dynamics.
In 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,' El Akkad connects his personal narrative with the horrors in Gaza, illustrating profound disbelief in American ideals.
