Il 25 ottobre 2023, dopo tre settimane di devastanti bombardamenti su Gaza, Omar El Akkad pubblica in rete queste parole: "Un giorno, quando sarà sicuro, quando non ci sarà alcun rischio personale nel chiamare le cose con il loro nome, quando sarà troppo tardi per ritenere qualcuno responsabile, tutti diranno di essere stati contro". Il post viene visualizzato più di dieci milioni di volte.

De vijfjarige Milad Salama is met zijn klas op schoolreisje naar een speelparadijs vlak bij Jeruzalem als de schoolbus in botsing komt met een vrachtwagen en in brand vliegt. De Palestijn Abed raakt verstrikt in een bureaucratisch doolhof. Hij bevindt zich aan de verkeerde kant van de muur, heeft niet het vereiste identiteitsbewijs om de militaire controleposten te passeren en kan Jeruzalem niet in. Hij heeft geen idee waar zijn zoon is.

La genèse du conflit israélo-arabe, dont l'actualité est surabondamment couverte par les médias, demeure paradoxalement mal connue. Si c'est au sortir de la Première Guerre mondiale que se cristallise ce qui n'est pas seulement le choc de deux nationalismes, mais un affrontement culturel recouvert par un conflit " religieux " et d'innombrables polémiques sur la nature du projet sioniste, c'est bien avant 1914 qu'il a pris forme dans le discours à la fois des élites arabes, de la vieille communauté juive séfarade et des sionistes d'Europe orientale.
