Tarik reflects on his family’s roots in Palestine, the emotional toll of watching the genocide in Gaza from the diaspora, and why performative empathy is not enough. He also shares the story of co-founding Prosthetics for Palestine with his wife, a project focused on building long-term care infrastructure for Palestinian amputees.\nThe conversation moves through Tarik’s life in revolutionary music, from Arab Summit and Palestinian hip-hop to his new album Watani 77, a 77-minute improvised album on 77 years of Nakba, memory, culture, and resistance. Ezra and Tarik discuss Palestinian cultural continuity, the often forgotten history of Palestine’s Moroccan Quarter, October 7th, anti-Zionist Jewish responsibility, and Tarik’s complicated but deeply felt hope for a free Palestine — one rooted in liberation, memory, and resistance to erasure.\n\nTarik’s Music\nProsthetics for Palestine\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\nhttps://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}
