Zwischen 2014 und 2023 gab es im Durchschnitt 342 antisemitische Vorfälle pro Jahr.
Von Oktober 2024 bis September 2025 stiegen diese gegen die 117.000 im Land lebenden Juden auf 1.654.
Das sollte die Menschheit langsam wachrütteln.

From Sri Lankan Prisoner to Canadian Executive | Roy Ratnavel on Immigration
In this episode, Quillette editor Jon Kay speaks with Roy Ratnavel, a Tamil-Canadian business executive, philanthropist, and author whose life story spans war, imprisonment, immigration, and professional success at the highest levels of Canada’s financial industry. Ratnavel’s new memoir, Prisoner #1056: How I Survived War and Found Peace, recounts his childhood in Sri Lanka during the country’s brutal civil war, his imprisonment as a Tamil teenager by government forces, and his eventual escape to Canada. Arriving in Toronto in the late 1980s with little money and limited English, Ratnavel worked unskilled jobs before rising from a mailroom position to become vice-chairman of CI Global Asset Management—one of Canada’s largest independent investment firms. But this conversation is not merely a rags-to-riches immigrant narrative. Ratnavel reflects candidly on race, integration, multiculturalism, and Canadian political culture, expressing both deep gratitude for his adopted country and unease about its economic, ideological, and civic direction. Drawing on decades of experience navigating elite professional spaces and diverse communities, he offers observations that often challenge contemporary orthodoxies on both the political left and right. 00:00 Intro 04:00 Interview Begins 04:08 Navigating Political Spaces 05:04 Personal Story and Immigration Narrative 08:18 Career Development 10:21 Cultural Observations and Integration 13:40 Community Dynamics and Political Identity 20:00 Professional Challenges and DEI Concerns 28:16 Social Experiences and General Observations 37:14 Concluding Thoughts and Reflections --- Quillette is an Australian-based online magazine that focuses on long-form analysis and cultural commentary.

Next time, it would be nice for the media to talk about antisemitism before it ends with 15 of us murdered while lighting candles on the beach.

Jews appreciate that the world knows how to mourn us. But we wish it would learn how to protect us, instead.

Dear GenZ, do you want your elderly parents living with you in their retirement? Because this is how you guarantee your elderly parents will have to live with you in their retirement.

The genius of Gould was that he could make a piece at any tempo make sense. In this three-part Sinfonia (No. 15), he plays much faster than most, yet the performance remains perfectly coherent and internally consistent
