Boy George releases pro-Israel single 'We Will Dance Again'

musicJul 27, 2026401,523

Boy George released a reggae-tinged single titled We Will Dance Again, posted with the Hebrew title עוד נרקוד, that voices explicit support for Israel’s military response to the 7 October Hamas attacks. The song opens You say genocide, I say war / When you’re attacked, that’s what the army’s for, and its chorus repeats We Will Dance Again alongside the line I stand with the Jews / I don’t feel brave, I just need to behave like a human. Boy George cites the Nova music festival attack, saying civilians there were murdered “for the crime of dancing”; the Guardian notes 344 civilians and 34 security personnel were killed at the festival and 44 people were taken hostage. The article records a wider Palestinian death toll since the war began of more than 73,000. The track criticises pro-Palestinian musicians by name, contrasting them with artists such as Stormzy, Damon Albarn, Clairo and Brian Eno, and echoes a phrase, We Will Dance Again, that has been used in Israel and as the title of a documentary about 7 October. The Guardian frames the release as an intensification of Boy George’s public support for Jewish communities and for Israel after earlier comments this year that he “didn’t have an opinion” on the country and after he publicly backed Jewish communities following an April knife attack in Golders Green.

There have a number of things Boy George has said & done over the years that have led me to believe he's a bit of a cunt & I'm sad to report that I was completely correct... www.theguardian.com/music/2026/j...
