New track to highlight anti-Jewish racism

Comedian Joe Jacobs has released a new rap video about antisemitism.

Put out under the name Joe And The Jews, the track has been made with the Antisemitism Policy Trust as part of a campaign called We Are Truthers designed to highlight anti-Jewish racism.

The organisation's chief executive, Danny Stone, said: 'The pandemic has forced us online for increasingly long periods of time. Whilst living in the digital age brings a number of benefits, the spread of antisemitic conspiracy theories, in particular, is deeply worrying.

'We want students and young adults to understand the dangers of antisemitism and racist conspiracy theories. Hopefully, people will enjoy the content and learn something too.

Jacobs wrote the rap with fellow comic Lee Kern.
