"The campaign, backed by hundreds of artists and dozens of labels, is a streaming boycott that geo-blocks the music of participating acts from appearing on streaming services inside Israel. Among the initial musicians to join were Massive Attack, Kneecap, Fontaines D.C., Rina Sawayama, and Japanese Breakfast. "No Music for Genocide" specifies that it is a response to "the genocide in Gaza; ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank; apartheid within Israel; and political repression of Pro-Palestine efforts wherever we live.""
""We stand in solidarity with those calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire," Paramore wrote. "We do not believe that support for our Palestinian friends and family equals anti-Semitism. We love our Jewish friends and family and pray for the safe return of the remaining hostages... That being said, we simply cannot support a genocide.""
Paramore and frontwoman Hayley Williams joined the No Music for Genocide mass Israel boycott and were added to the campaign website. The campaign is backed by hundreds of artists and dozens of labels and geo-blocks participating acts' music from streaming services inside Israel. Initial participants include Massive Attack, Kneecap, Fontaines D.C., Rina Sawayama, and Japanese Breakfast. Music from Paramore's catalog and Williams' solo work will now be geo-blocked in Israel. Paramore previously called for an immediate ceasefire and encouraged donations to Save the Children and Doctors Without Borders. No public comment has been made about joining the campaign.
