Who put the Oy in Oi? Surprise is the default reaction, and sometimes even disapproval, when I mention the Jews in #Punk panel I am moderating for London’s Jewish Book Week. And no wonder. Punks and Jews really are a contradiction in terms. Orthodox Judaism means following a body of rules as closely as possible, whereas punk is the reverse.
