Criminal recording artist Boy George and the genocidal Zionist movement: truly a match made in hell and one we don't understand

Boy George, the multi-award winning music artist, is a convicted criminal who once falsely imprisoned a sex worker in his home by handcuffing him to a radiator. He’s also pretty much the last celebrity willing to defend the genocidal nation of Israel, and this means the Zionists have no option but to hold him up as some sort of hero.

Boy George is an iconic British superstar.

This week he put out a song to show solidarity with the Jewish people post October 7. It is called We Will Dance Again.

As a result, he has been libelled by almost all British media as “pro genocide”.

He has had to withdraw from…

Boy George and Zionists unite

Zionism is the ideology that dictates Israel must exist as an expansionist colonial state — one which also serves as America’s foothold in the Middle East. Zionists have used this belief to justify the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, as well as the recent expansion into Lebanon. They also use it to justify the criminal mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners, as we’ve reported:

Given the above, it’s no surprise that Israel and Boy George would find common ground. In 2009, the Guardian covered his trial:

Boy George was today sentenced to 15 months in jail for falsely imprisoning a male escort by handcuffing him to a wall and beating him with a metal chain.

The judge told the 47-year-old former Culture Club front man, whose real name is George O’Dowd, he had left the escort “shocked, degraded and traumatised” by the ordeal.

O’Dowd was found guilty last month of attacking the Norwegian model Audun Carlsen, 29, after he visited the singer’s flat in London in April 2007.

Given Boy George’s conviction, it’s frankly reprehensible that Zionists would hold him up as a paragon of human virtue. At this point, though, who’s surprised?

‘Dehumanising and racist propaganda’

Speaking on the Boy George song that led us here, human rights advocate, Gary Spedding, said:

The [Boy George] song that many (including myself) have been talking about is objectionable because the lyrics dehumanise Palestinians, justify Israel’s crimes against Palestinians, and attack other musicians who have expressed solidarity with Palestinians.

Lyrics that stand out are:

“You say genocide, I say war. When you’re attacked, it’s what the army is for. Does it get ugly? You bet it does. When I know you want to kill every last one of us.”

And

“You condemn the Jews, with selective memory. Musicians holding flags, mouthing like sheep. Propaganda fuelled by the internet feels so weak.”

Accusing Palestinians of wanting to slaughter every last Israeli Jew is dehumanising and racist propaganda that portrays Palestinians as blood thirsty savages. Combine this with the denial that Palestinians are facing a genocide and justifying the IDFs actions in Gaza and we can see a very obvious smear.

His attack on other musicians is blatant and horrendous. He discusses propaganda fuelled by the internet and yet its obvious that Boy George himself has been driven by what hes been absorbing in terms of online content.

Because they’ve no cultural relevance left, Zionists have felt compelled to issue messages like the following:

Boy George, you dared to sing for truth and humanity while others marched with the mob. Now the United Nations must hear you. I intend to make it happen. https://t.co/yD2kTs3iAo

Time will tell, and we are people of patience.

I’m with Boy George on this one. https://t.co/e1d22ILP8H

Thank you @BoyGeorge for your moral clarity and normal working brain 🩷 https://t.co/d2llttL5eu

We’re not sure it’s best to describe Boy George as having a “normal working brain” given interactions like the following:

LBChost James Hanson said this:

Whatever your view on Israel’s actions in Gaza, no-one should be cancelled for speaking up for their Jewish friends and writing a song that condemns October 7.

Solidarity with Boy George.https://t.co/43xXrxWpUw

If Boy George is ‘cancelled’, it’s not just because he defended a genocide; it’s because in doing so, he drew attention to his past conviction. No one forced him to do that. And let’s be real, the people who are boycotting Boy George today were already functionally boycotting him anyway because he hasn’t been relevant in years.

Wait, it gets worse

In case you didn’t already know, Boy George used AI to create the rancid song in question. In other words, everything about this story is grim and unnecessary, which is the most accurate description of where the Zionists are in this current moment.
