(Jewish Group) "Jews Don't Count"

How identity politics failed one particular identity. Jews Don’t Count is an audiobook for people who consider themselves on the right side of history. People fighting the good fight against homophobia, disablism, transphobia and, particularly, racism. People, possibly, like you. It is the comedian and writer David Baddiel’s contention that one type of racism has been left out of this fight.

In his unique combination of close reasoning, polemic, personal experience and jokes, Baddiel argues that those who think of themselves as on the right side of history have often ignored the history of anti-Semitism. He outlines why and how, in a time of intensely heightened awareness of minorities, Jews don’t count as a real minority: and why they should.




If you have $5 bucks and a couple of hours...BUY THIS DAMN BOOK! Baddiel did an outstanding job taking to task the treatment of Jews and anti-Semitism on our side of the fence, from someone on our side. The vast majority deals with examples from the UK, but if you are a frequent reader of this group, then you will already be quite familiar with many of the examples and situations in his book.

So, stop reading this, head over to Audible and pick up this title! It will be well worth your time and money!!
