Voices in Solidarity with Palestine

"To perform in Israel is a lucrative gig but to do so serves to normalise the occupation, the apartheid, the ethnic cleansing, the incarceration of children, the slaughter of unarmed protesters … all that bad stuff."

"What is threatenin' about divesting and wantin' peace? / The problem isn't the protests, it's what they're protesting"

"Silence is complicity. You cannot be neutral in an unfolding genocide."

"We believe we have an obligation to use our platform when we can to raise the issue of Palestine, and it was important for us to speak out at Coachella as the USA is the main funder and supplier of weapons to Israel as they commit genocide in Gaza."

"We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine."

"I see all children as precious and equal. My deep care for children doesn't stop at any border."

"This is a genocide. And so I'm here. I'm very grateful to be here, just to try to lend my voice, to elevate the voices of all the people who have had so much loss."

"My heart is bleeding with pain from the trauma I am seeing unfold, as well as the generational trauma of my Palestinian blood."

"[Artists for Ceasefire is] calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. There are 1,200 Israelis dead and 27,000 Palestinians."

"I can't believe I have to say this, but Palestinian people are not disposable. We are human beings just like anyone else."

"We don't believe in having to shrink ourselves or to perform a different script in order to be awarded freedom and dignity. These are things we are entitled to."
