Review Quotes: "With a grabby, in-your-face title (Genocide Bad), anti-Zionist influencer Sim Kern smoothly brings the snarky energy of social media together with fresh and learned insights into the roots of Israel's genocidal program--how it thrives in the liberal capitalist world order, and most importantly, how to attack it. This fearless, comprehensive assault on Zionism draws additional strength and credibility from Kern's own candid story of transformation--from suffering cruel, anti-Jewish taunts and shunning as a teen in rural Illinois, to becoming an "anti-anti-Semitism educator," to despising and fighting Zionism."--Steve France, Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
