Boy George Releases New Song Defending Israel and Criticizing Global Response to October 7 Attacks

British singer Boy George released a new song titled "We Will Dance Again" on the night between Sunday and Monday, expressing strong support for Israel and condemning what he calls the world's "selective memory" regarding the October 7 attacks and the ensuing conflict in Gaza. In the song, he challenges the global narrative by rejecting the label of genocide, instead calling it war, and highlights the brutal murder and rape of young girls on that day. The chorus, inspired by a call from the Nova Tribe community after the massacre, repeats "We will dance again" and ends with a Hebrew line translating to "You say genocide, I say war when they come to kill you." The song features a reggae beat seemingly created with AI and was shared on social media with the hashtag #Shalom, though it is not yet available on Spotify.

This is not Boy George's first vocal support for Israel. Earlier this year, as San Marino's Eurovision representative, he publicly opposed calls to exclude Israel from the contest and signed a letter backing Israel's participation. He has Jewish friends since his youth and stated in interviews that he would never turn his back on them. During Eurovision week, he praised Israeli contestant Noam Batan and expressed a wish to vote for Israel if he could. Additionally, about a week before Eurovision, he witnessed a stabbing attack in London's Golders Green neighborhood, where two Jews were seriously injured, and shared footage from the scene, emphasizing the need to support the Jewish community.

Boy George's new song and public statements continue his pattern of outspoken advocacy for Israel amid ongoing conflict and international debate over the events of October 7 and their aftermath.
