Cheer Boy George For Backing Jews Over Haters Even As It Costs Him His Career
MSN ^ | 8/9/2026 | Andrea Peyser

Sometimes, bravery is found in unexpected places.

The recording artist known as Boy George was so moved by an exhibition in London dedicated to the Jews slaughtered, tortured, sexually assaulted and abducted on Oct. 7, 2023, at the Nova Music Festival in Israel — “The Moment Music Stood Still” — he recorded the hauntingly beautiful reggae tune “We Will Dance Again.”

Some of the lyrics are openly supportive of the Jewish state, a risky move for an entertainer in the current climate.

“You say genocide, I say war / When you’re attacked, that’s what the army’s for.

“Does it get ugly? You bet it does / When I know you want to kill every last one of us.”

Other lines are heartbreakingly evocative, describing unflinchingly the brutality inflicted by Hamas savages on young people who gathered at Nova to move their bodies for joy and peace.

“You never mention Oct. 7 / Young girls raped against trees / Murdered brutally / For the crime of dancing.”

The song, made with AI, is tragic, at times chilling. And unforgettable.

It also expresses the deep support and affection the singer/songwriter, 65, whose real name is George Alan O’Dowd, has for Israel and the Jews.

The gesture has spelled career suicide.

I never thought I would.... “cheer Boy George”.... but these are strange times we live in and even those we previously thought might be godless cretins can surprise you. Standing by and for people that stand against evil is part of that “end days separating the wheat from chaff”. For the record, I choose wheat.

Haven’t seen the movie yet, but plan on viewing it this week now that you reminded me.

Thanks.

Chaining a male prostitute to a wall in his home for three days didn’t spell career suicide for George. But this is considered over the line?

…As It Cost Him His Career

Have to admit I had no idea Boy George still had a career to lose…

What I’d want to know...
What’s the opinion of the Boy among self identifying Jews from NYC that voted for Zohran Kwame Mamdani.

Still more worried about the 58% of gentiles who voted for Mandami, given gentiles make up 90% of the electorate.

The 30% of the 10% of the voters in NYC that are Jewish who voted for Mamdani barely relevant to the problem.

Tucker Carlson said they’re not real Jews.

Tucker Carlson has a screw loose.

Well not irrelevant to the 1933 problem Einstein solved.
