Genocide Bad: Notes on Palestine, Jewish History, and Collective Liberation by Sim Kern

funny informative inspiring sad fast-paced

5.0

I finished this in a single day. That is probably the easiest way to convey just how well written, eye opening, and engaging this book is. I’m not a frequent non-fiction reader; especially of the non-poetry or memoir variety (I’m trying to be better about this!) so the fact that I didn’t have to “assign” any part of this to myself as a sort of chapter-a-day reading speaks measures. 

Sim does a fantastic job of breaking down a lot of complex information into accessible chapters and sections that lead you along this important path of discovery. I learned more than I expected to as someone who has been reading Palestinian books a lot over the past couple years. 

Also I annotated in a way that I do not normally feel compelled to. I can tell this is a book I’ll be returning to and hopefully lending out.
