British trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack have joined other bands and musicians in seeking to block their tracks being streamed in Israel as part of a cultural boycott campaign over the war in Gaza.
The Bristol natives said they had joined No Music for Genocide, a new collective of musicians modelled on the Film Workers for Palestine group.
A website for No Music for Genocide says it brings together more than 400 artists and labels that “have geo-blocked and removed their music” from Israel in protest at the country’s Gaza campaign.
Massive Attack, who are long-time anti-war campaigners, criticised the links between Spotify and Helsing, saying that “the hard-earned money of fans and the creative endeavours of musicians fund lethal, dystopian technologies”.
Like many other campaigners, Massive Attack cited the cultural boycott of apartheid-era South Africa as inspiration for their actions against Israel.
