Boy George has stirred up further controversy amid the release of his controversial new pro-Israel song, falsely claiming that Dua Lipa made inflammatory comments about Israel. “Why is [Dua Lipa] allowed to say ‘Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth’ and I get abuse for defending my Jewish friends?” When an X user asked for Boy George’s source for the Dua Lipa quote, he shared screenshots showing pictures of the singer with text overlaid reading: “Dua Lipa: As long as Israel continues to exist on Earth there will be no peace,” and, “Singer Dua Lipa claiming there will be no peace while Israel exists is circulating widely.” Dua Lipa has spoken out in support of a free Palestine in the past, but no credible source has verified that she made the statements shared by Boy George. “The evidence shows that Palestinian children have been deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli security forces,” said Srinivasan Muralidhar, the chair of the commission.
