In 2014, Burchill's book "Unchosen: The Memoirs of a Philo-Semite" was published. Tel Aviv-based writer Akin Ajayi in "Haaretz" thought "the reactionary solipsism of "Unchosen" is far removed from the affectionate warmness that a love of the Jewish people can be". Burchill's ex-husband, Cosmo Landesman, considered it to be an "exhilarating and exasperating mix of the utterly brilliant and the totally bonkers". He observes that "there are plenty of Jews Julie doesn't love" including the "millions of Jews around the world who have ever criticised Israel. Her love is blind, deaf and dumb to such an obvious contradiction". "Guardian" columnist Hadley Freeman wrote: "Hilariously, she sets herself up as the Jewishness Police, railing against Jews who are not Jewish enough".
