Dalal has an interesting conversation with Georges that turns deeply personal and political, tracing how witnessing violence and injustice from the genocide in Gaza to the everyday cruelty of industrial farming transformed one activist’s understanding of ethics and liberation. Georges reflects on the interconnectedness of human rights, animal rights and environmental justice, arguing that the struggle for freedom must include all beings. Through vivid stories of activism, from running a vegan restaurant to campaigning in Lebanese politics, they show both the hope and the heartbreak of trying to change entrenched systems of power. The episode also delves into trauma, recalling the experience of living through war and finding solidarity in global networks like Vegans for Palestine. Enjoy this one!
