  1. One of the local newspapers (The Vancouver Sun) reached out to me after I contacted them about Boy George's upcoming concert at the PNE and PNE basically saying I'm free to not come and watch him.

    They said they are writing a "brief" piece and wanted an interview. I'm an absolute flusterbucket on the phone so I was hesitant to accept given the delicate nature of the topic.

    So instead I gave them a statement, no idea if they will include it:

    > Boy George wrote a song containing lyrics quite clearly supporting of the reprehensible acts of the state of Israel on the people of Gaza. The lyrics are:
    >
    > "You say genocide, I say war. When you’re attacked, that’s what the army’s for. Does it get ugly? You bet it does. When I know you wanna kill every last one of us."
    >
    > An Independent UN commission has categorically ruled that genocide is occurring. The death toll was estimated as 65,000 people, 30% of whom were children, as of last September.
    >
    > To express support for the Jewish people, as Boy George has historically done, is admirable, but to express support for the devastating actions of the state of Israel, as he is doing with this song, is abominable.
    >
    > I don't believe it is wise for the PNE to platform such opinions.

  2. Boy George: „Ich mache das schon lange genug und kenne den Gestank von Sabotage“

    Scheinbar macht er das nicht lange genug um zu wissen, was ein Bodypack ist.

    Meine Güte.

  3. Now the voices that told me not to follow the West are louder. But these voices are also homophobic. Is there no place where I can be gay and Arab?

    Boy George heeft voor het eerst gereageerd op de kritiek op het pro-Israëlische nummer dat hij afgelopen week online zette. De zanger had niet verwacht dat hij een uitleg verschuldigd zou zijn. Volgens hem is het lied juist "vóór vrede", staat in een verklaring die hij gaf aan onder meer The Sun.

  5. Today I noticed that the Pacific National Exhibition this summer will feature Boy George for one of its summer nights concerts:

    You may not have heard but Boy George recently denied Palestinian genocide in a reggae song he co wrote with an LLM, despite more than 20,000 kids being murdered so far. So I'm wondering how I go about ensuring the organisers are aware of this and whether they might want to reconsider this booking.

  6. RE: flipboard.com/@newyorktimes/ar

    "Paul Kemsley, Boy George’s manager, wrote on Instagram late Thursday that he had made the decision “in the best interests of my artist while also showing respect to others.” ..."

    Protests proactively do their work. Let's hope other Zionists are following Boy George's lead.

    "Boy George, has made public comments in support of Israel. “I have a lot of Jewish friends and there would never be a situation where I’d turn my back on them"

    So you don't have anti-Zionist Jews as friend? That's very odd Boy or are it just 2 people and did you never met an anti-Zionist Jew? :goose_flap:

    "... the track, which Boy George said he had written with the aid of artificial intelligence."

    Oh my, also an AI-addiction. 🙄 Other music artists are fighting against AI-slop, but you Boy are just betraying your profession (and humanity of course).

  9. “We Will Dance Again”

    So many of you have asked what are the words @BoyGeorge sings out at the end of his beautiful song. Here it is and I want to thank him for uplifting my heart. For being a champion of support for the Jewish People and Humanity. For standing so proudly in his belief that we all will dance again, and we shall. Shalom 💙

    Je parlais hier de la conversion de Goy George au sionisme.

    "We will dance again"

    You say genocide, I say war
    When you're attacked, that's what the army's for
    Does it get ugly? You bet it does
    When I know you wanna kill
    Every last one of us
    ...
    You never mention October 7
    Young girls raped against trees
    Murdered brutally
    For the crime of dancing
    You condemn the Jews, with selective memory
    Musicians holding flags, mouthing like sheep
    Propaganda fuelled by the Internet feels so weak

    [Chorus]
    But trust me, we will dancе again
    We will dance again
    We will dancе again
    And there will be no war
    But if you're ever confused
    I stand with the Jews
    I don't feel brave, I just need to behave like a human
    But trust me, we will dance again
    We will dance again
    And there will be no war
    But if you're ever confused
    I stand with the Jews
    I don't feel brave, I just need to behave like a human
    You might also like

    [Chorus]
    But trust me, we will dance again
    We will dance again
    And there will be no war
    But if you're ever confused
    I stand with the Jews
    I don't feel brave, I just need to behave like a human

    [Outro]
    אתם אומרים רצח עם, אני אומר מלחמה
    כשבאים להרוג אותך

  11. " BoyGeorge hat mit »We Will Dance Again« einen neuen, mit Künstlicher Intelligenz produzierten Song veröffentlicht, in dem er sich mit Israel und den Juden solidarisch zeigt. Der Titel greift den Satz »We will dance again« auf, der nach dem Hamas-Massaker auf dem Nova-Musikfestival zu einem Symbol für Widerstandskraft und Hoffnung geworden ist." juedische-allgemeine.de/kultur #Shalom #WeWillDanceAgain #Nova #Israel #Juden #Hamas #Gaza #Antisemitismus #Politik #LGBTQ #Queer #BoyGeorge #Musik

  12. He has been trash for some time though...

    ...I wonder what it was about chaining a human being up and beating them that attracted the Israeli state to the cunt?

  13. I woke up two days ago to the new Boy George song, “We Will Dance Again,” and my heart swelled. So heavy for everything it filled me with. Love. Pride. Love for him for doing this at all. And underneath it, the heaviness of what happened on October 7th, sitting where it always sits.

    The pride, the trust, the appreciation that he would sing loudly for us. As a human. As an individual. With his fame, which he could so easily have kept quiet and safe.

    And I felt sad that we need it at all. That we need people to stand. We will always be resilient, that has never been the question. But God, how this felt good. And how sad, at the very same time.

    I want to scream this song from the highest mountain. To use it as a healing melody. To bring peace. To soothe our pain.

    Thank you, a million times over, for this gift. We love you. We need champions on the outside too, voices that are not our own raised on our behalf, and you are one of them.
