Vegans For Palestine Podcast
Vegans for Palestine Podcast is the first of its kind. It is a podcast by vegan Palestinians about all things both vegan and Palestinian. This podcast is dedicated to empowering Palestinian veganism and raises the voices of vegan supporters of Palestine across the world. Also, this podcast will be in English so our English speaking audience can learn about the aspirations and experiences of Palestinian vegans and our allies. The Vegans for Palestine Podcast emerged from a community of the same name. This community is an intersectional, anticolonial, antiracist global vegan movement dedicated to the liberation of human and non-human animals across historical Palestine.

Vegans for Palestine Podcast - Episode 15 - White Veganism II (Part 2)
They are back! Dr Leila and Rayan are here to discuss the taboo topic of white veganism - a reality often denied by several vegans across the globe. This episode explores how white veganism reproduces racism, colonialism, and Zionism. Dr. Leila and Rayan critique the appropriation of food, the marginalisation of BIPOC vegans, and how mainstream veganism prioritises whiteness, consumerism, and neo-colonial Zionism. They highlight how ex-vegans often shift toward Zionism and the far right, questioning whether such individuals were ever committed to the liberation of human and non-human animals. Cultural appropriation, tokenism, and complicity with oppressive institutions are also discussed. Dr Leila asks a very important question - is there any hope for the vegan movement?
