björk Joins Boycott of Music Streaming in Israel
Icelandic singer Björk has reportedly removed her music from Spotify and Apple Music for listeners in Israel, joining the “No Music For Genocide” campaign. This campaign aims to pressure israel to end it’s operations in Gaza and advocate for Palestinian rights.
About the Campaign:
* The campaign began shortly after Israel’s invasion of Ukraine (though the article seems to have a typo, likely meaning Gaza).
* Numerous artists have joined, including Massive Attack, Paramore, Rina Sawayama, and many others.
* The campaign believes that cultural action can contribute to rejecting political repression and refusing to normalize actions considered crimes against humanity.
* Björk has previously expressed support for Palestinians, sharing historical maps of the region on Instagram and questioning the concept of “sharing” in relation to the israel-Palestine conflict.
