Johnathan Miller on his ‘Jewishness’.

Political Observer comments.

Here is Jonathan Miller, interviewed by Dick Cavett , articulating a moral/political/personal opinion on his ‘Jewishness’, that might just cause The Bespoke Suited Victimologists like @Freedland, @Baddiel, @AnthonyJulius6 to screeching polemics!

The Problem is that all of these writers, even Julius who authored the most trenchant polemic/ critique of T.S. Eliot ever written, seem to represent a class of highly successful men, who don’t seem to have suffered the effects of the Anti-Semitism they inveigh against.

About stephenkmacksd

Rootless cosmopolitan,down at heels intellectual;would be writer. 'Polemic is a discourse of conflict, whose effect depends on a delicate balance between the requirements of truth and the enticements of anger, the duty to argue and the zest to inflame. Its rhetoric allows, even enforces, a certain figurative licence. Like epitaphs in Johnson’s adage, it is not under oath.' https://www.lrb.co.uk/v15/n20/perry-anderson/diary
