In this conversation, we talk about how that work shaped his understanding of Palestine, what he had to unlearn as an anti-Zionist Jew, and why the fight for Palestinian liberation is inseparable from other struggles against empire, racial capitalism, militarism, and colonial violence.We also discuss Jewish deprogramming after October 7th, the limits of conditional solidarity, the question of who Seeds for Liberation is for, and what real safety might look like beyond police, prisons, punishment, and fear.\n\nSeeds for Liberation Film\nReimagining Safety Film\nMatthew Solomon on Instagram\nThe Thin Veil / Ezra Lipp’s PatreonSupport Ezra’s Work and The Show on Patreon\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}
