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.

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.

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!

In part 1 Kern briefly explains how they became a pro-Palestine influencer.

The bulk of the book is part 2: Answering Hasbara starting with a chapter on ways to respond to the question "Who Are You to Speak on Israel?".

This chapter highlights critiques of "deference politics" by philosopher Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò in the book Elite Capture.

#Europe is so cucked & owned by Zionists that they would rather have actual European countries like #Spain, the #Netherlands, #Ireland & #Slovenia not be in #Eurovision than block the genocidal Israeli death-cult, which is not even in Europe, from using it as propaganda for itself
