Our guest is novelist and journalist, Omar El Akkad, author of the new book about Israel’s destruction of Gaza, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This. He’ll talk about what it’s like to live as an Arab-American in a moment in which the US—and the West more generally— are destroying any pretense of believing in the moral principles they claim to hold dear.
