IS THERE ANY PARALLEL LINE BETWEEN THESE TWO STATISTICS DATA?

"Here's the math. According to the U.S. Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)--there is an average of 293,066 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year.

There are 525,600 minutes in a non-leap year. That makes 31,536,000 seconds/year. So, 31,536,000 divided by 293,066 comes out to 1 sexual assault every 107 seconds."

Dr. Randa Abdel Fattah. De-Invited by Association: When Grief Becomes a Pretext and Palestinian Identity a Liability

How Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah Was Silenced in the Name of “Sensitivity” In a remarkable feat of moral gymnastics, Australia’s literary establishment has once again demonstrated how grief can be weaponised, principles suspended, and Palestinian identity rendered dangerously “inappropriate ” —all in the name of cultural sensitivity. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah , a respected author, academic, and public intellectual, was quietly de-invited from Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Bondi Junction massacre. Not because she had any connection—real, implied, or imagined—to the atrocity. Not because she endorsed violence. Not because she violated any law or ethical standard. But because, apparently, the mere presence of a Palestinian Muslim woman who speaks about justice is now considered culturally unsafe during national mourning . One wonders: unsafe for whom? The Logic of the Absurd Festival organisers were careful—almost impressively so—to state that Dr. Abdel-Fattah had nothing to do wi...

Rebranding Genocide: When Killing Learns New Words

There are moments in history when crimes do not end — they simply learn new language. Gaza is living inside such a moment. The bombs have not stopped falling. The children have not stopped dying. The displaced have not stopped freezing in tents pitched atop rubble that was once their homes. What has changed is the vocabulary . And in the modern age, vocabulary is power . If you can rename atrocity, you can anesthetize conscience. First, it was called self-defense — a phrase emptied of meaning by its repetition. Then it became a war , despite the grotesque imbalance: one side armed with one of the most advanced militaries on earth, backed by the world’s most powerful empire ; the other a besieged civilian population without an army, navy, air force, tanks, or safe shelter. Now it is branded a ceasefire — a word invoked not to stop violence, but to conceal it. This is not peace. It is genocide with a quieter soundtrack. The Illusion of Restraint A slowed rate of killing is not m...

A Society Pulling Apart: Emigration, Fear, and the Fracturing of Israeli Jewish Resilience

One of the least discussed—and most dangerous—developments in Israel today is not unfolding on its borders, but within its society. The fissures that have opened inside Israeli Jewish society are widening by the day. What began years ago as ideological disagreement has hardened into social estrangement, demographic anxiety , and a growing willingness—especially among secular and liberal Israelis—to imagine a future outside the country. This is not conjecture. It is measurable . The Quiet Indicator of Insecurity: Who Is Thinking of Leaving According to repeated surveys by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) , roughly one-quarter of Israelis have seriously considered emigrating , with the numbers rising sharply among secular Jews , young professionals, academics, and high-skilled workers. Among secular Israelis, the share expressing willingness to leave has approached 40% in some surveys —a staggering figure for a country whose national ethos was built on ingathering, permanen...

BRIDGEWATER'S FOUNDER, BILLIONAIRE INVESTOR RAY DALIO SAYS, US IS AT THE START OF THE DEBT CRISIS & WORSE TIME AHEAD FOR THE ECONOMY.

"In my opinion, ( Mr. Dalio says) we are at the beginning of a very classic late, big cycle debt crisis, when the supply-demand gap, when you are producing too much debt and have a shortage of buyers ," Dalio said during the Bloomberg Invest conference on Wednesday. "What's happening now, as we have to sell all this debt, do you have enough buyers ? " he said. " When I look at the supply-demand issue for that debt, there's a lot of debt, it has to be bought and has to have a high enough interest rate," the Bridgewater founder added."
