Boy George Releases Pro-Israel Song Addressing October 7 Attacks and Gaza Conflict

British singer Boy George published a new song titled "We Will Dance Again" on social media overnight between July 26 and 27, 2026, expressing strong support for Israel amid the ongoing conflict following the October 7 attacks and the war in Gaza. The reggae-influenced track criticizes musicians and activists who, according to George, ignore the events leading to the war, singing "You say genocide, I say war" and accusing critics of Israel of selective memory. He references the brutal rape and murder of women who went out dancing on October 7 and condemns online propaganda spread by some musicians.

The chorus, based on the slogan "We will dance again," is associated with survivors of the Nova Festival massacre and the victims' families, conveying hope for peace and an end to war. George declares his solidarity with the Jewish people, stating, "I am not brave, I just have to behave like a human being," and ends the song with a Hebrew phrase meaning "You say genocide, I say war when they come to kill you," though the Hebrew contains a minor translation error.

This song marks George's most explicit expression of ongoing support for Israel. Following the October 7 massacre, he publicly stood with Israel, condemning attacks on women, children, and the elderly. In February 2024, he was among over 400 cultural figures opposing calls to boycott Israel at Eurovision. His connection to Israel dates back decades, with Culture Club performing there since 1985 and George openly rejecting comparisons of Israel to apartheid South Africa. He has collaborated with Israeli artists and consistently voiced support for Israeli fans.

Recently, George has opposed calls to boycott Eurovision due to Israel's participation and criticized Roger Waters for his harsh anti-Israel rhetoric. The new song continues his stance through direct musical messaging rather than online disputes. As of publication, the song is not officially released on platforms like Spotify or YouTube, and no production details have been shared.
