Rabbi Shmuley LOVES Boy George's ATROCIOUS Pro-Israel Song
This video from Due Dissidence provides a critical commentary on the recent pro-Israel song, "We Will Dance Again," released by Boy George (0:00 - 1:36). The hosts analyze the song's lyrics, which they describe as "god-awful" and suggest were created with the assistance of AI (1:36 - 3:00, 10:34 - 10:47).
Key themes and events discussed include:
- Critique of the Song: The hosts argue that the song, which dismisses the term "genocide" regarding the situation in Gaza (2:15, 9:55), is a piece of "musical propaganda" (6:23). They also highlight negative reactions from others, such as Martin Ware of the Thompson Twins (6:12 - 6:38) and journalist Suzanne Harrington (11:37 - 12:28).
- Backlash and Career Impact: The video notes that Boy George faced professional consequences, including stepping down from the West End production of Jesus Christ Superstar (6:55 - 7:09) and parting ways with his record label head, Tony Panous (9:08 - 9:24).
- Managerial Influence: The hosts speculate that Boy George's manager, Paul Kemsley, who is noted as a "big Zionist," may have influenced the artist's decision to release the track (8:13 - 8:43, 18:36 - 18:48).
- Questionable Past: The commentators frequently reference Boy George's 2008 conviction for the assault and false imprisonment of a male escort as a point of criticism (16:25 - 17:15, 20:30 - 20:38).
The hosts conclude by suggesting that the song reflects a broader, superficial "Israeli aesthetic" and critique the lack of cultural depth they perceive in the current Israeli project (22:48 - 24:12).
