The conversation then dives deeper into activism and art, touching on the bold stance of bands like Kneecap and Public Enemy as they raise their voices for Palestine.The episode explores the devastating impact of systemic oppression and how cultural figures are challenging silence around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
