Jews Don’t Count: A Times Book of the Year 2021

How identity politics failed one particular identity.‘a must read and if you think YOU don’t need to read it, that’s just the clue to know you do.’ SARAH SILVERMAN‘a masterpiece.’STEPHEN FRYJews Don’t Count is a book 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.In this bestselling book, David Baddiel, a renowned author and humorist, delves into the often overlooked history of anti-Semitism, a topic deeply embedded in our cultural and political fabric. He challenges the reader to reconsider their understanding of discrimination, rights, and what it truly means to be a minority.For fans of Tom Fletcher (The Naked Diplomat), Rory Steward (Politics on the Edge), and Ben Miller (Bad Gays).
