Ezra sits down with acclaimed musician/songwriter
Alexi Murdoch for a wide-ranging conversation on art, activism, and what it means to speak up in a time of crisis.
They discuss Alexi’s recent visit to Palestine and what he witnessed under Israeli occupation. The conversation moves between the personal and the political—exploring the tension between creative expression and direct advocacy, and the moral responsibility to break silence in the face of injustice.
They also reflect on propaganda, dehumanization, and the challenge of reaching people across deeply entrenched narratives—while holding onto the belief that transformation is still possible.

What is The Thin Veil with Ezra Lipp?
The Thin Veil explores what happens when inherited narratives about history, identity, power, and belonging begin to break down—and what it means to move toward greater moral clarity and alignment in their wake.
Centered around Palestine and anti-Zionism, and rooted in musician/activist Ezra Lipp’s own process of political unlearning later in life, the show features conversations with artists, organizers, and others navigating questions of imperialism, colonization, liberation, and the systems shaping our world.
