The conversation explores connections between Indigenous struggles across the Americas, Palestinian liberation, Zionism, diaspora identity, and the ongoing work of decolonizing inherited narratives.\nThey also discuss activism, music as resistance, solidarity movements, electoral politics, direct action, and what it means to find your place in liberation work.\nThe Thin Veil / Ezra Lipp’s PatreonSupport Ezra’s Work and The Show on Patreon\nThe Mixtape for Palestine Concert benefiting United For Dignity AllianceTickets on Sale now!Sunday 5/31/2026 Ivy Room, Albany CA\nThe Thin Veil with Ezra LippThe Thin Veil on all Podcast PlatformsThe Thin Veil on Youtube\nEzra Lipp’s Siteshttps://www.instagram.com/ezralipphttps://www.ezralipp.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@Ezralipp\nThin Veil Theme Music by Magic In The Other https://www.instagram.com/magicintheotherhttps://www.magicintheother.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@magicintheother","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/fhBUvd45_rNnoJ7g61jw-mCpqqEbrbUP0UY24votLns/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83MDBm/OTU5ODQ3ODA4OTU0/OTU4MTcxNDM3ZGI1/N2NmNy5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
