Listened to little bits. But it seems to be more of a personal account (anecdotal which I know you love) 

 

When it comes to Jewish history, I’ve got the Escape Artist by Johnathan Freedman to get through first. 

 

These guys don’t think much of it though.

Well it isn’t like that at all.  Just read it , it’s quite the eye opener.

Rubbishing someone's anti-racism message because 30 years ago they told an inappropriate joke is definitely the content I am here for.

Oh yes. Rubbishing someone's lifelong commitment to anti-racism because they once commented on a Facebook post about a mural is how it's done properly.

The title of that book is a load of bollocks for a start.  

It’s almost like you’re in the book.  
 

I get that lots don’t like Baddiel, I think he’s funny but that’s by the by. But read and listen to what he says.  I mean lots of other Jews say the same in the documentary, are they lying or making it up?   You wouldn’t question the experience of any other group.  Why’s that?  
 

Although the ‘gypo’ thread was up for years so maybe it’s understandable

Nothing says sorry for antisemitism more clearly than bigging up Chris Williamson.

I'd say bigging up Hitler would say it more clearly.

Ash Sarkar, the woman who defended graffiti in the Warsaw Ghetto. Yep, we're done here.

 

Really? 

 

Are you marking down as anti-Semitic all the graffiti on that wall, or just the bit supportive of human rights in Gaza?

Have you read it? It wouldn’t take even you very long.  

I don’t want to ready any books written by racists.

I think you’re in the book too.

Baddiel is a cunt, a hypocrite and a Chelsea fan.

I prefer people reading to me, hence why I have only listened to it in bits. 

I can imagine it is in parts, but is it going to be any more eye opening (or ear opening in my case) than anything I have read/heard/watched about anti-semetism beforehand? From the bits I have heard, no it’s probably not. I am however open to that changing.

That's enough for me.

[Bjornebye]

So actresses in Hollywood are never Jewish? 

 

I guess Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Scarlett Johanssen, Melanie Lauren, Jennifer Connelly, Kate Hudson, Sarah Michelle Geller, Gal Gadot, Rachel Weisz, Joan Rivers, Gwyneth Paltrot, Amanda Peet, Goldie Hawn, Eva Green....... none of these count right? 

 

Or is Sarah Silverman a grifter who is full of shit? 

 

I'm just wondering. 

[Bjornebye]

Anti-Semitism is fucking vile. Abhorrent. 

 

 

Using anti-semitism as a weapon or defence mechanism because you've been criticised is fucking vile. Abhorrent. 

 

 

[Bjornebye]

I actually agree with Baddiel there when he says that using Israel/Palestine against a British Jewish person who hasn't mentioned Israel/Palestine is anti-semitic. Ok it might not seem it but yeah that's a fair comment. A very fair comment.

Why, what has she said? I'm not watching the show, didn't even remember it was on (which probably makes me anti-semitic).

[Bjornebye]

Oh, it seems Sarah Silverman also blacked up and used derogatory words against minorities as well but let's not mention that eh.

I watched a bit of it, she was saying actresses who are jewish don't play the main role etc. Used examples of non jews playing jewish roles. Basically chatting absolute shit. 

 

How many Muslim women are in Hollywood? Or in main roles? Just a question.

She was talking about non-Jewish actors routinely playing Jewish roles in a way that wouldn't be acceptable for (say) non-black actors playing black roles, or non-Hispanic actors playing Hispanic roles.

[Bjornebye]

She'll fucking flip when she finds out who the new Dr Who is 

[torahboy]

It's called acting. I saw a film where an actor played a person who had been stabbed to death - and he wasn't actually dead. I mean.  there are plenty of real shot up corpses they could have used.

 

Watched a bit of this Baddiel thing and it's laudable that he distances himself from Israel and its apartheid policies against Palestine and Palestinians. Yet his view that ant semitism isn't given enough condemnation compared to other forms of racism may well raise eyebrows amongst those who campaigned for Corbyn at the last general election. Seemed to be pretty well publicised then. Maybe he didn't read about it.

[TheHowieLama]

Do Jewish actors ever play non-Jewish roles?
