Excellent article but I'd add a counterpoint. Most professional artists I know are timid and risk averse themselves, gripping to safe ground with white knuckles. Collectively it's an indictment on local culture www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Stormzy deleting 🇵🇸 posts so his Maccas brand deal is sanitised is disappointing.

Not only does it add ick to everything he stands for, and that's a lot, but he's RICH. In no scenario does he need it.

It looks like such poor judgement.

America loudly boasting about ethnic cleansing has not come out of nowhere. It's been ushered in by all the corporate, media and political class.

Hysteria's quivering hand.

How many ppl have been fired in Australia's entire history for making Muslims 'feel' unsafe? Serious question.

Never thought I'd see the day where leading Jewish groups defend someone giving a Nazi salute.

Never thought I'd see democratic countries openly supporting genocide and cracking down on ppl objecting to it.

We are wading deeper into more dangerous waters.

Extremist zionists like AJA and ADL want proximity to power. Rushing to excuse Musk's nazi salute while calling for govt to crack down on anti-genocide protests. Shameless frauds.

Every one of these lives lost will not be forgotten. The decision to pursue genocide has made the world a far more dangerous place.

Good. This is how it works. Apply pressure. Show some spine.

A lot of Jewish ppl genuinely believe Islamophobia is not an issue here, despite 25 years of it swelling up like a chronic injury. Aussies don't feel aligned with Israel AT ALL, but they do with Islamophobia.

Govts win elections on it.

Australia's music singles charts are made up of an average of 94.8% anglo music (from UK, USA and Aust).

The % of Aust music in this?

10.5%

Every soldier participating in this genocide will be haunted to their graves. Warmaking politicians can't protect them from their dreams and memories. No peace in a flood of anguish. Doors will be knocked. Numbers called. Stories published. Forever.

We are so deep behind the walls of decency that Palestinians need to continually lay out the lifeless bodies of their innocent children to appeal to our so-called humanity. Children like yours and mine. Dead. All at the hands of Israel and the US.

The anger at this is forever.
