Every week seems to bring more evidence to support the thesis of David Baddiel’s book, Jews Don’t Count.
Take Oxford University’s decision, revealed at the weekend, to accept a grant from a trust established by Max Mosley, an unrepentant fascist supporter of his father, Oswald.
The grant includes the funding of a professorship with the Mosley name. So what if Jews at Oxford will be repeatedly confronted with a title honouring one of Britain’s most notorious antisemites? Jews don’t count.
Or take the Royal Court, a body which boasts of its commitment to anti-racism but which saw no reason to be bothered about a money-obsessed billionaire character named Hershel Fink, and which then — ludicrously — claimed it had no idea the names might be thought Jewish.
