This was a very easy read to better understand the genocide in Palestine and how to support folks there and stand up for them in debates. I appreciate Sim for making it easy and dare I say fun (?!) to understand a horrifying and complex situation. I feel much better equipped to dialogue with Zionists than I did before.

If you are someone, or know someone, who would like to learn more about Palestine from the perspective of a Jewish organizer, this is the book for you. Kern does an excellent job of breaking down ‘myths’ about Israel and the United States and delivering them in a comprehensible manner while also wrestling with their own identity as a Jewish person. TLDR; free Palestine and all occupied spaces

“Our home was bombed, our lives were displaced, and our childhood was killed… what is the fault of these children in this displacement? Stop the aggression against Gaza. We have the right to live like all people. Leave us to continue our dreams.” - Nour Mattar, aunt of a one-day old baby in Gaza killed by an IDF siege on their tent.
