About this listen
How identity politics failed one particular identity.
Jews 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.
What the critics say
"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)
"Jews Don’t Count is a supreme piece of reasoning and passionate, yet controlled, argument. From his first sentence, the energy, force and conviction of Baddiel’s writing and thinking will transfix you...as readable as an airport thriller...a masterpiece." (Stephen Fry)
"I don’t think I have ever been so grateful to anyone for writing a book. Baddiel’s Jews Don’t Count is incisive, urgent, surprisingly funny and short. It’s also a beautiful piece of publishing. It needs to be read." (Jay Rayner)

Thorough analysis of a tricky problem
A very interesting study of the often contradictory treatment of Jews. Is it a race, an ethnicity, a religion? Are Jews secretly controlling the world or are they a persecuted minority, Yes to all that. Interesting to see how the left and right wing both have blind spots.

A Concise Description of the Antisemitism of "Jews Don't Matter"
A concise description of a specific sort of racism that has become even more widespread, antisemitism. But not the antisemitism of the far right, but the antisemitism of the uncritical self-proclaimed anti-racist, but with a blind spot. A blind spot where "Jews don't matter".
