Boy George at the Nova festival memorial: ‘If you’re ever confused, I stand with the Jews’

Boy George, the frontman of the iconic band Culture Club, recently paid tribute to the victims of the Nova music festival massacre in Israel during a press conference. The festival, which was held on October 7, 2023, resulted in the deaths of over 360 attendees and the taking of dozens of hostages. Boy George, who arrived in Israel on Saturday, will perform a concert on November 7 and the following Saturday, featuring his new song "We Will Dance Again."

This song, which has become the motto of Nova survivors, opens with the provocative lines "You say genocide, I say war." Boy George's visit to Israel has been arranged by Sylvan Adams, president of the World Jewish Congress Israel, in solidarity with the Jewish community. Adams announced that 1,500 tickets to the concert were made available to Nova survivors and their families, in collaboration with the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem.
