Bad Hasbara 80: Genocide Bad, with Sim K...

Matt Lieb
About this episode

Matt and Daniel are joined by anti-zionist Jewish influencer and author Sim Kern to discuss the online hasbara sock puppet brigades, whether feeding prisoners of war is a trick, and to ask whether you can still call a perplexing assemblage of words a joke if it’s not funny in any language.
