David Baddiel - #JewsDontCount

David Baddiel - #JewsDontCount
By David Baddiel

David Baddiel examines the -ism that woke culture and identity politics leave behind: antisemitism.

Jews don't count. Even among those on 'the right side of history', those who take a stand against all -isms - racism, sexism, ableism, Islamophobia, transphobia, etc., it is still somehow acceptable to make jokes about Jews, blame them, appropriate their culture and call them Yids in the football stadium. Throughout history Jews have been seen as rich oppressors, as well as 'vermin'. Today they are the subjects of considerable racially motivated hate-crime, and yet antisemitism is not decried by progressives.

David Baddiel follows the antisemitism he finds in his Twitter feed to the stage, through the media and into politics, with rigour and humour. And as he does so, he challenges us to examine our complex and unconscious racism.
