A new campaign has been launched with the hashtag DJsForPalestine, numerous artists and DJs joining the cultural movement to support the Palestinian people, promoting a cultural boycott of Israel government.
Supporters of this campaign, some of them performing in Israeli in the past, have posted a picture on various personal media accounts stating that, “As long as the Israeli government continues its brutal and sustained oppression of the Palestinian people we respect their call for a boycott of Israel as a means of peaceful protest against the occupation.” Among the names who are supporting this movement are Ben UFO, Four Tet, The Black Madonna, Rrose, Pariah, Call Super, Caribou, Peder Mannerfelt, the Discwoman collective, Laurel Halo, and others.
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI), who are in charge of coordinating this campaign, has also responded to the DJs for Palestine campaign saying: “We welcome the DJs, producers, record labels and electronic musicians today endorsing the Palestinian call for the cultural boycott of Israel.”
In an Instagram post, UK DJ Ben UFO added more on the story.
