The meaning of the phrase Jews Don’t Count is often misunderstood. It means: as a vulnerable minority. A minority that has suffered, like all minorities, extreme violence and discrimination. The assumption remains, despite history, that Jews are too powerful really to be seen in that way. Drawing attention to Jewish suffering is seen as only another example of their power, of Jews' ability to highlight their own suffering at the expense of others. Jews are not granted specificity in suffering: it must always be compared to the suffering of others, and found wanting. And if you want to see that in action, have a look at some of the responses on here - or no doubt, below this message - to the various attempts to commemorate one acute example of Jewish suffering, that took place three years ago today.

I believe in the right of the state of Israel to exist. therefore I am a Zionist, therefore, according to @TheGreenParty I am a racist. I will keep to myself what I think they are, but electorally they’re toast.

A new cycle of evil begins. #EvilDeadBurn arrives on Digital today.

this track is easily the most refreshing take on tech house in a while can def see it playing as a huge influence in the future, especially regards to sound direction + song writing

Statement from @BoyGeorge Sometimes, I realise that being an air sign I expect the world to understand me without having to explain myself. The suggestion that I feel no compassion for Palestinian’s is both untrue and absurd. I am devastated for the loss of the innocent lives on both sides of this war and I call for peace. I have read members of the press calling me a ‘genocide denier’ yet those who deny the suffering of Israelis are given a free pass. My song is pro peace and about the emotions I felt after visiting the Nova Exhibition and talking to Michael and Lisa Marlowe who had their son Jake taken from them. Murdered trying help others. I also spent time talking to May Hayat who survived while her best friend was murdered. We took a picture standing in front all the people who were killed that day. Everyone knows what happened to innocent women, kids, babies, sons and fathers on that day, innocent people who were at a festival celebrating life. The Nova Festival is a mirror of my world as a DJ and I have played many such festivals, including in Israel so it resonated with me and I felt compelled to write something. I could have been there and we know that there were people from more than 40 countries who were. I felt these deep emotions and is wrote this song for them. My personal opinion is that this is sadly a war , but not an attempt to wipe out Palestine. But I respect that everyone has their own opinions and believe we should all be allowed to have that right. Look around and tell me one musician speaking out for the Jewish community, but you can absolutely guarantee they have made their living from working with a Jewish team member. I understand that is uncomfortable to defend your friends when a war like this is raging but the woman who sells me bagels is not to blame, neither is my doctor or publicist, manger, ex boyfriend or my thousands of Jewish friends. This song is for them. I come from a place of peace. I am a jew loving, trans hugging queer hippy and my mother would be proud of me. Written with love Boy George

The truth has a habit of revealing itself!

It doesn't matter what I think or what you think. When will you realise you're doing NOTHING! It's a fucking joke. I am even falling out with Jewish friends. The madness knows no bounds.
