He thought it was a place of justice for all. However, over the past twenty years, reporting on the \"war on terror,\" climate change, Black Lives Matter protests, and many other momentous events, and above all, observing the unstoppable slaughter in Gaza, El Akkad came to the conclusion that much of what the West promises is a lie, that there will always be entire masses of those whom the West does not see or treat as \"people,\" that Arabs, Muslims, immigrants, and various other groups will never experience Western freedoms and privilege.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"One day it will turn out that everyone was against it all along\" is a record of this painful realization of the truth, a record of moral struggles with what it means – as a US citizen and also a father – to try to find a sense of meaning and hope in a time of slaughter. It is, finally, an accusation and a heartbroken letter of separation from the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe above description is from the publisher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE!\u003c\/strong\u003e This product comes from an outlet.
