(Jewish Group) "Jews Don't Count"

On Bill Maher last night, he had a brief section (I think I have set it to the start of the conversation) about leaving out Jews from the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, and a conversation ensues.

?t=2416

Then there is this gem, which is 47 minutes, from comedian and author, David Baddiel, discussing his book "Jew's Don't Count". I have read the book. It isn't a long read, but it does address issues from OUR side of the political spectrum in regard to anti-Semitism, and another "but" is it is mostly about the British political situations, so you will have to know a bit about British politics.



I just thought it was interesting and would share here, and it was a break from articles.

as it just opened that day.

And it was at the end of the conversation because, really, he ran out of topics.

Was a disappointed show, except for the very end..

I really don't care about the topic opening, but the ensuing conversation was very good and on point.
