As part of the PaleyImpact series Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism, bestselling author and National Jewish Book Award winner Dani Shapiro sits down with acclaimed British comedian and writer David Baddiel to discuss the spread of unchecked rampant antisemitism and why he believes Jews are too often dismissed in current dialogues about discrimination and policies that address racism. In conversation about his 2021 book David Baddiel: Jews Don't Count and subsequent provocative documentary adaptation of the same name, David discusses the origin of his book's title, the effects of social media on antisemitism, and why he has always made being Jewish part of his public identity.
