The recent publication of Bad Genocide, a book by anti-Zionist Jewish author Sim Kern, has sparked widespread debate and gained significant attention across the United States. The book, which delves into sharp critiques of Israel and Zionism, has defied initial publishing rejections to become a bestseller on Amazon.

In a video statement, Kern revealed that major publishing houses had refused to print her book due to its content. However, the manuscript found a home with Interlink Books, the only Palestinian-owned publishing house in the U.S., known for its independent, family-run operations.

Despite limited initial support, Bad Genocide achieved a remarkable milestone, climbing to the number-one spot in Jewish history book sales and becoming the top-selling book in the category's history. Its sales even surpassed those of the King James Bible, an achievement that underscored its immense impact.

Kern's book openly expresses solidarity with the Palestinian people amid what she terms "Israeli genocide." The author has been vocal about her stance, particularly in the wake of Israel’s ongoing aggression against Gaza.

In a deeply emotional video shared on TikTok during the first month of the war on Gaza, Kern tearfully addressed her fellow Americans, expressing frustration and disbelief at the silence surrounding the humanitarian crisis. "I don't know how anyone can be silent," she lamented. "I don't understand how you can now share the food you eat on social networking sites."

The book’s success highlights a growing discourse within the U.S. about Israel, Zionism, and the plight of Palestinians. Bad Genocide stands as both a literary achievement and a powerful statement of resistance, drawing attention to a narrative often marginalized in mainstream publishing.
