Boy George calls out musicians ... in "We Will Dance Again," singing: "You condemn the Jews with selective memory / Musicians holding flags, mouthing like sheep / Propaganda fueled by the internet / Feels so weak."

[PJMedia.com] Boy George released a new song on July 29, "We Will Dance Again," or Od Nirkod in Hebrew, about the Nova Music Festival—one of the scenes of Hamas' massacre of Jews on Oct. 7, 2023. It opens with lyrics so refreshingly direct in their moral clarity—"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"—that you'd be forgiven for thinking they came from a speech by friends of Israel like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) or Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, rather than from a British pop icon who gained worldwide fame in the 1980s with hits like "Karma Chameleon."

But perhaps a look at what Boy George has said about the meaning behind that 1983 song, which became a No. 1 hit in every country that had a chart, provides a clue as to why the man born George Alan O'Dowd on June 14, 1961, has been so willing to speak truth about a war that started with the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. He said of "Karma Chameleon": "The song is about the terrible fear of alienation that people have, the fear of standing up for one thing. It's about trying to suck up to everybody."

Icelandic singer Björk doesn't experience alienation when she removes her catalog from streaming services in Israel as part of the No Music for Genocide boycott. U2's The Edge risks nothing in today's antisemitic climate when he calls Israel's war of self-defense "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide." Boy George calls out musicians like these in "We Will Dance Again," singing: "You condemn the Jews with selective memory / Musicians holding flags, mouthing like sheep / Propaganda fueled by the internet / Feels so weak."

Brendan O'Neill, writing in Spiked, argues why it's Boy George who is the truly rebellious artist.

It takes a near-Herculean spine for a pop star to defy the cultural establishment's Stepford-like demand that everyone bow down to the dogma that the Jewish State is a uniquely monstrous entity. In resisting the siren-like lure of the genocide lie, that libellous mantra that might grant one access to cultural high society but which destroys one's soul in the process, he has struck a blow for truth—and for punk. The unhinged response to his correct labelling of a war as a war reveals so much about the genocide libel.

That blowback started coming immediately after Boy George posted "We Will Dance" on his X account... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
