- David Baddiel on why Ken Livingston’s comments on Israel are unacceptable — ” Mainly, in truth, though, I don’t care that much about Israel.

I don’t even think it’s a very Jewish place. In The Infidel, my film, a character whilst describing various types of Jews, says “And then Israelis – Jews without angst, without guilt – so not really Jews at all.”<br><br>
