Michel L. reviewed Jews Don't Count by David Baddiel
Review of "Jews Don't Count" on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
An instructive, relatable primer
As an overseas Chinese several generations removed, this book really shone a light on the hierarchy of racism that people don't talk about. We really need to get better at distinguishing a nation state from people who just happen to share an ethnicity and/or religion with that state.
Note: I am against the West Bank settlements myself, just as I am critical of the Chinese govt on many issues. Just as I wouldn't want to be required to answer for a government that doesn't represent me, so I would not ask that of Jewish people. Or use the occupation as an excuse to resurrect much older, deep seated prejudices
