Nick Cave expressed his challenges with the idea of a cultural boycott, stating, 'I find it difficult to accept the idea of using my music to punish ordinary people because of the acts of their government.' He believes that such boycotts are ineffective and may even reinforce the government's agenda in Israel by creating an isolationist narrative.
Addressing the broader implications of a cultural boycott, Cave criticized its effectiveness, saying, 'In my view, it sort of emboldens the worst aspects of the current government. They exploit this isolationist thing, like 'The whole world is against us.' This strategy may ultimately harm the very individuals these boycotts aim to support.'
