Statement from Stop The Hate UK Bandcamp has removed Boy George’s latest track, “We Will Dance Again,” after he endured a vicious campaign of abuse for standing with Israel and with the Jewish people. Bandcamp now has one choice: explain itself or restore the song. If the track breached a genuine technical rule, publish the rule, the evidence and the record of consistent enforcement. Show that other comparable releases have been treated in exactly the same way. If Bandcamp cannot do that, then this looks like what it is: ideological censorship dressed up as moderation. Boy George has been targeted because he refused to bend the knee. He honoured the victims of Nova. He stood with Jews when much of the cultural establishment chose cowardice, silence or open hostility. Now a platform that boasts of defending independent artists has apparently decided that solidarity with Jews is one form of independence it cannot tolerate. That is disgraceful. Bandcamp cannot host endless anti-Israel propaganda, indulge the language of “resistance” and then suddenly discover its principles when an artist mourns murdered Jews. Selective enforcement is not neutrality. It is discrimination. Stop The Hate UK demands: 1-the immediate publication of the full reason for the track’s removal; 2-evidence that Bandcamp’s rules are applied consistently; 3-restoration of the song unless a clear and legitimate breach can be proved; 4-a public assurance that artists will not be punished for supporting Israel or standing against antisemitism. Boy George has shown more courage than the platform attempting to silence him. Bandcamp should restore the track, answer the public and stop hiding behind corporate evasions. Until it does, its claim to support independent music is worthless.
