Dozens and dozens of Arab friends (Lebanese, Iraqis, Palestinians and Gulfies) are jamming my inboxes with messages saying that they support dismantling Palestinian Hamas and peace with #Israel. These people cannot express their opinions out loud for fear of social shaming, bullying or physical hurt.
We might not be in the majority, but we are many, and most of us are scared to speak out against Medieval Islamist #Iran and its Hezbollah and Hamas. If we were allowed to speak freely and campaign for our thought, we would not be in the minority anymore. In every country, majority and minority trade places, except for countries living under the tyranny of political Islam. These try to convince the world that since 1948, Arabs and Muslims have had only one fixerd opinion: That nakba was a disaster that should be reversed (reversal means destroying Israel, like the nakba war was designed to do).

Chinese officials said they would stop reporting the country’s youth unemployment rate after months of spiraling increases, removing another data point on the declining health of the world’s second-largest economy.

As China announces that it will no longer be publishing youth unemployment data (because the rate is very high lol), a reminder that they have been steadily publishing fewer and fewer economic indicators in recent years as the data has become less rosy ft.com/content/43bea201-ff6c…
