Jews Don’t Count is a book for people 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 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.

An important book because of the special part of the topic: anti-Semitism through ignorance, relativization and downplaying in comparison to other racisms and discriminations.

However, as a German, it was sometimes difficult for me to read because I don't really know British politicians (and other people) well, so I had to look up a lot.
