More than 400 international musicians have signed a petition to remove their songs from platforms in Israel

Famous musicians, including Massive Attack, Primal Scream, Japanese Breakfast, and King Krule, have joined the well-known campaign to boycott Israel. This initiative is a result of the situation in Gaza, which the campaign organizers have called a “genocide.”

Support for the Boycott

Artists have urged major record companies to participate in the action. Similar measures were taken against Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.

History of the Boycott

Previously, the music community took active steps against actions they view as human rights violations. This new wave of boycott highlights that art and politics often intersect, causing a wide public resonance.

Impact and Consequences

Support through concerts and releases can have a significant impact on the entertainment industry. The boycott may spread to other countries, particularly if supported by the public.

Industry Reaction

Some companies have already begun to reassess their relationships with Israel, focusing on “moral and ethical aspects.” It is expected that this will lead to a change in the course of organizations representing the interests of musicians.
