Other chapters in Answering Hasbara provide context and advice on discussing topics like "But Israel Is so Diverse!", and "But Hamas!"

Every chapter is extremely well researched and rooted in Kern's own experience. There are many dives into historical context. I had no idea that the reason wizards have pointy hats has origins in anti-Jewish hate!

The chapter on "Criticizing Israel is Antisemitic" is one of the longest and most detailed. In it Kern discusses why they, as a former anti-antisemitism educator, has stopped using the word "antisemitism". They explore the history of the term, first widely used by racists to describe their own hatred of Jewish people.

Kern also confronts the ways that Zionism is an anti-Jewish hate movement.

Throughout the book Kern's arguments are staunchly anti-imperialist. Part 3 of the book is Towards Collective Liberation—What does "Free Palestine" Even Mean? Here Kern links Palestinian liberation with the need for all of us, everywhere, to defeat capitalist empire.
