David Baddiel visits Google to discuss his book "Jews Don’t Count",
which uses a unique combination of reasoning, polemic, personal
experience, and humour to discuss how antisemitism does not fit
into traditional narratives and perceptions of racism.
David’s book is aimed at people who consider themselves to be
“fighting the good fight” against homophobia, ableism, transphobia
and, particularly, racism. The comedian and writer follows the
antisemitism he finds in his Twitter feed to the stage, through the
media, and into politics, arguing that those who think of
themselves as on the “right side of history” have often ignored
antisemitism. The book outlines how and why this came to be in
these modern times of intensely heightened awareness of oppressed
groups.
