(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)

Over 1,000 labels and artists including Björk, Lorde and Paloma Faith have joined together to block Israelis from streaming their music as part of a global boycott campaign.

The No Music for Genocide campaign, which urges musicians to ask streaming platforms to geo-block residents of Israel from accessing their work, was set up in September.

British artists Massive Attack and Paul Weller have confirmed that they had signed up to the campaign.

The campaign, which allows artists to sign up on its website, aims to get music companies such as Sony, UMG and Warner to follow suit and to take their music off Israeli streaming services.

Mainstreaming antisemitism.

1. I could agree with this if they also stopped their music from the Arab countries that treat their women like crap and..

allow no dissent.

4. ...or they way they treat GLBT people.

How many of those artists are queer and yet, they "allow" for their music to stream to countries where the GLBT population are imprisoned, at best, and murdered, at worst! Are they "de-platforming" Russia? China?

5. Right. I should have added that. Thank you.

2. Meanwhile, Paul Weller is suing the accounting firm that cut ties with him due to Weller's genocide inversion stance.

The accounting firm Harris and Trotter referenced its strong Jewish roots and many Jewish partners when it announced that it was cutting ties with Weller over his genocide claims.

Paul Weller sues accountancy firm for cutting ties with him over ‘genocide’ comments

Harris and Trotter reportedly told the rock star that 'we as a firm with Jewish roots and many Jewish partners are not prepared to work with someone who holds these views'

The accountancy firm Harris and Trotter reportedly informed the former guitarist and singer songwriter for rock band The Jam that they would be ending their working relationship of 30 years after his comments.

According to a legal letter from Weller seen by the PA news agency, it was alleged that the artist had been sent a whatsapp message by a senior artist at the firm which included the sentences: “It’s well known what your political views are in relation to Israel, the Palestinians and Gaza, but we as a firm are offended at the assertions that Israel is committing any type of genocide.

“Everyone is entitled to their own views, but you are alleging such anti-Israel views that we as a firm with Jewish roots and many Jewish partners are not prepared to work with someone who holds these views.”

If actors, musicians, NATO, and the whole damn world have a problem with Israel and 0.2 % of the world’s population existing, then how about they return or refuse any and all innovations Israel and Jews have contributed to the betterment of mankind regardless of “race/creed/color”??..they can start with Barbie/the teddy bear/computers/the polio vaccine/department stores/movies/the dialysis machine and go from there..
