“No Tune For Genocide” is described as a “cultural boycott of Israel,” according to the initiative’s official site. It underscores that over 1,000 musicians and record labels have opted to withdraw their music from “that region in response to Israel’s actions in Gaza; the persistent occupation and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank; apartheid practices within Israel sence 1948; political repression of pro-Palestinian movements worldwide; and the music industry’s ties to arms trade and crimes against humanity.”
The website stresses that this action is just one step towards “recognizing Palestinian calls for isolating and delegitimizing Israel as it continues its actions without accountability on a global scale.” Drawing comparisons with historical successes seen in South Africa and Russia, an increasing number of artists are joining this movement by removing their music from streaming platforms accessible in Israel. Notably, Traipse For Duvet Records has aligned itself with ‘No Tune For Genocide’ by halting distribution of its music within that territory.
