No Music For Genocide

No Music for Genocide is an international cultural boycott initiative launched in September 2025 by musicians and record labels to protest Israel's military actions in Gaza and treatment of Palestinians. The movement calls on artists to remove their music from Israeli streaming platforms through geo-blocking measures. With over 400 initial participants including prominent acts like Massive Attack, Rina Sawayama, and Japanese Breakfast, the movement represents one of the most significant coordinated cultural boycotts against Israel since the beginning of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

The initiative describes itself as a response to Israel's genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing of the Occupied West Bank, apartheid within Israel, and political repression of pro-Palestine efforts. Organized through a decentralized network of artists and independent labels, the movement employs geo-blocking techniques to restrict access to musical content on Israeli territory, with the dual purpose of symbolically rejecting normalization with Israel and applying economic pressure on the music industry to sever ties with Israeli entities.
