Vegans for Palestine Podcast - Episode 22 - From Spain to Palestine: Anti-Colonial Vegan Activism

In this episode of the Vegans for Palestine podcast, Dalal speaks with Frasco about his journey from growing up in a poor village in Spain to becoming an intersectional vegan activist shaped by anti-racist, feminist, and anti-colonial struggles. Frasco explains how learning about speciesism and watching the documentary Earthlings led him to connect animal liberation with broader systems of domination, while also confronting vegaphobia and social backlash. Together, they critique racist and orientalist tendencies within mainstream animal rights campaigns, arguing that advocacy must be accountable to the communities it addresses and rooted in justice rather than moral superiority. Drawing on examples from Palestine, Latin America, and Europe, they link animalization, colonial violence, and land dispossession, ultimately presenting veganism as a global ethical framework that challenges hierarchies of power rather than a Western luxury or trend. This episode is captioned for Deaf and Hard of Hearing viewers here. You can follow Frasco here https://www.instagram.com/frascfz?utm...Link to his book is here:  / dtyk5yqigglrrnfjm4tgq6z9iq5zzkb1dzkdrs0  Book published by   / animalesysociedad  The music in this episode is by a Palestinian singer, artist and song writer named Jawdat Khoury.
