Kern asks us to dream that "maybe—we can Free Palestine, fuck empire, topple all tyrants, and save life on earth."
Kern also lists books they recommend to help us imagine a different kind of world including my favourite book, The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin.

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.

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.

CBC London has a story with more updates:
"Lots of folks [at the protest] were concerned about Gaza, and were also concerned about war crimes in Sudan and other places and the fact that Canadian war merchants, death merchants, are arming them," Heap said.
"I think the police response is overreaching, and that's because they're trying to intimidate people from standing against war industries ... more generally, and it won't work," he said.

I honestly don't know a lot about PeerTube but setting up an instance at some point is definitely on my radar.
