Boy George Defends His AI‑Generated Pro‑Israel Song Amid Backlash

by rrollins, July 31, 2026

Boy George has unveiled We Will Dance Again, an AI‑generated reggae song supporting Israel, which immediately drew criticism from musicians and journalists. The track opens with the line “You say genocide, I say war,” rejecting descriptions of Israel’s Gaza campaign as genocide and referencing the October 7 Nova festival attack. Critics, including Martyn Ware of The Human League, condemned it as pro‑genocide propaganda. George defended his stance on Threads, citing personal ties and belief in Israel’s democracy, while praising AI as a creative tool. In contrast, he is also leading Artist Included, an “ethical AI” project reviving Karma Chameleon.
