"The BDS movement was officially founded in 2005 by Omar Barghouti. Just as it is factual to say that Israel is currently committing war crimes in Gaza, it is also factual to say that by any objective measure BDS has failed. Over the last 20 years international pressure has successfully stifled Israeli exports, but during that period the government of Israel has become more isolated and authoritarian, as conditions in Palestine have deteriorated, first slowly, and then with horrifying speed."
"Now, over 400 artists have asked that their music be geo-blocked from appearing on streaming services inside of Israel. This includes Massive Attack, Faye Webster, Arca, Rina Sawayama, Fontaines DC, Aminé, Kelela, Japanese Breakfast, MIKE, King Krule, Amyl and the Sniffers, MJ Lenderman, Kneecap, MØ, Erika de Casier, Mannequin Pussy, Liv.e, Wednesday, aja monet, and hundreds more."
""No Music For Genocide is a new cultural boycott initiative asking artists and rights-holders to remove their music from streaming platforms in Israel in response to the genocide in Gaza; ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank; apartheid within Israel; and political repression of Pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live," organizers said in a statement. "Culture can't stop bombs on its own, but it can help reject political repression, shift public opinion toward justice, and refuse the art-washing and normalization of any company or nation that commits crimes against humanity. This initiative is one part of a worldwide movement to erode the support Israel needs to continue its genocide.""
No Music For Genocide calls on artists and rights-holders to remove music from streaming platforms in Israel in response to alleged genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in the Occupied West Bank, apartheid within Israel, and political repression of pro-Palestine efforts. Over 400 musicians, including Massive Attack, Faye Webster, Arca, Rina Sawayama, Fontaines DC, Aminé, Kelela, Japanese Breakfast and many others, have requested geo-blocking of their music inside Israel. The initiative frames cultural boycotts as a tool to shift public opinion, reject political repression, and prevent art-washing and normalization of states or companies accused of crimes against humanity. Any artist can participate by contacting the campaign.
