Omar El-Akkad won the non-fiction category for the National Book Award for “One Day, Everyone Will Always Have Been Against This,” a phenomenal book about the genocide in Gaza. When one day everyone will claim that they’ve always been against this, don’t let the supporters forget that they were not.

Fascinating! I wonder in how many languages the word for “umbrella” is a compound of two words or roots that define its function, such as the Spanish "paraguas" ("stop" + "rain") and the Portuguese "guarda-chuva" (protect against + rain). "Pluie" is "rain" in French, yes? But "para"? From Latin?
