if you, like me, consider yourself to be an intersectional feminist, i would encourage you to read this.

This was such a heavy, but important, read. Baddiel makes an eloquent case for the erasure of antisemitism in modern culture (or rather the erasure of concern about it) and asks modern progressives to look in the mirror. I'm so glad I read this, though it deeply upset me. I genuinely think this needs to be read by everyone.

Informative & poignant. A powerful mix of personal and societal anecdotes used to narrate the struggles of the modern Jewish population and Jewish identity.

I think you could do a lot better job talking about the very real problem of antisemitism (or rather, ignoring antisemitism) on the Left if you came from an intersectional, “my liberation is bound up with yours” point of view but unfortunately this is not that book. I hope someone writes that book though!

Two stars for humor and for being right some of the time.

A very incisive reflection of left-wing/progressive antisemitism

It was good and has opened my eyes to antisemitism that is still present in Britain. 
Felt slightly repetitive but I think that’s probably the point, it’s drilling the point home because it’s important.
