Author Sim Kern joins Cat Brooks to discuss Palestine, the power of propaganda, the weaponization of Jewish identity, and why Palestinian liberation is inseparable from our collective liberation.

Jews aren't blue! The association between blue & white and our community as a whole is way more recent than you think, and has always been intertwined with Zionism. Our color history is so much more diverse, rich, and fascinating. Watch the essay: youtube.com/watch?v=M6--Qzpl…

We raised $30,000+ this week in direct aid for 10 families in Gaza City who needed transportation south and funds for tents and essentials, due to the IOF invasion. Help us double that amount to help 10 more families evacuate, including two pregnant moms: chuffed.org/project/gaza-cit…

What's Next for Gaza

Update, August 2026: We are VERY FAR from our goal of evacuating Mohammed's family out of Gaza. I would like to re-explain the process of exiting Gaza through Egypt and why so much funding is needed...

This fundraiser is organized by @Amongtherubble, a grassroots mutual aid fund, with boots-on-the-ground presence in Gaza, and all funds raised go directly to the bank accounts or paypals of vetted families in Gaza.

You can finish this in a day. I’m sure much of it will be familiar, but the way a queer Jew tells his journey from Zionism to anti-Zionism is what makes it important.

GENOCIDE BAD is a NYT and USA TODAY Bestseller! It is basically a miracle for an indie press book to hit these lists, and y'all who have preordered it, shared it, and helped spread the word? Y'all are that miracle. I'm so honored by your trust in me and @InterlinkBooks

The power lies in perspective. A former Zionist turned anti-Zionist knows the arguments from within and that’s what makes the book worth reading. #read #books #bestseller #ghaza #IsraelEnemyOfHumanity

#GenocideBad by @sim_kern is an amazing new book that explains why speaking out against colonialism and literal genocide isn’t a “complicated” or “controversial” thing at all- it’s a perspective that centers humanity and the inherent value of every human life!!!!

I', curreently reading this outstanding book. There is a phrase that it's constantly repeating. Every accusation is a confession. The author, a Jewish writer, explains the history of Israel and the devastation that Israel has caused in Palestinian citizens.

Picked up @sim_kern 's amazingly well-researched, incredibly powerful book Genocide Bad, which effectively destroys with hard data every Zionist (we should just say colonialist occupier) argument you've ever heard.
