Short and straightforward enough to read in a single sitting. Captures that progressive British sense that racism against Jews is of lesser importance, because of (various subtly racist reasons).

An emotional read. David Baddiel is remarkably articulate, I can only imagine the emotional labour it took to write this book. Jews Don’t Count must be added to any anti-racist or racial justice reading list.

Should be renamed 'Some Jews Count'. Baddiel is a racist product of the UK privelidged system. From Private school to Oxford to the BBC, claims he couldn't say this in the 1980s (too busy working for bBC and being a comedian), he didn't join the antiNazi antiFascist antApartheid groups during the 80s.
He says that recently BBC radio recited Coleridge, without any complaint about the antiSemitism. This is a lie, the BBC has historical context comments when it quotes him and othes, by calling Coleridge antiSemitic, Baddiel is deflecting from the potes racism, he was a WASP not an antisemite. Baddiel also calls BBC 'POSH' as if antisemitsm was a thing for poor people, more of his bigotry shines.
Having pubilised his right wing politics and jewishness in the early 2000s, Baddiel is now complaining that people call him Jewish but he brought it up, looking at his pre 2000 work, it is never mentioned by commentators
Saing he can only say this now he is older is an attack on the protesting youth of the 1980 thru to now, the BLM, climate protesters.
Baddiel is a bigot and a racist, pulshing his own agenda which includes attacking Jews protesting Israel apartheid
