Don’t bother calling Jimmy Kimmel or the ACLU.

Neither the late-night talker nor the once-mighty group care about censorship when it hits anyone perceived to be on the Right.

And if you’re a pro-Israel voice, you’re on your own, too. Just ask Alyssa Rosenheck. The author of the upcoming “White. Blonde. Jew.” saw her Nashville book appearance canceled due to alleged safety concerns.

Now, Boy George is learning this depressing lesson.

The former Culture Club singer released a new song late last month, “We Will Dance Again,” that debunks the pro-Palestinian messaging against Israel. The lyrics pull no punches.

You say genocide, I say war
When you’re attacked, that’s what the army’s for
Does it get ugly? You bet it does
When I know you wanna kill
Every last one of us
Every last one of us
Every last one of us
You never mention October 7
Young girls raped against trees
Murdered brutally
For the crime of dancing
You condemn the Jews, with selective memory
Musicians holding flags, mouthing like sheep
Propaganda fuelled by the Internet feels so weak

Triggering! And fair.

The song’s release caused a commotion in the artistic community, because artists are allowed to have one specific opinion on the intractable Israeli/Palestine war.

It’s a genocide. Disagree? Shut up, bigot. He had to fire his label manager for refusing to promote the song. He pulled out of a “Jesus Christ Superstar” London production due to the chaos the song inspired.

He wouldn’t backpedal, and the Left couldn’t stop Boy George from talking. They did the next best thing. Bandcamp, a major music distributor, yanked his song off the platform.

Why was @BoyGeorge’s song #WeWillDanceAgain taken down @Bandcamp ?

This hate driven censorship must be corrected immediately. https://t.co/kCDN59XnPr

Why?

Threats? Censorship 101? Something else?

Does it matter? Censored is censored.

The song’s cancellation won’t become a cause celebre. Far from it. Still, a few artists are willing to stand up for censored Jews, including David Draiman of Disturbed fame. Will others take up the fight on Boy George’s behalf?

Don’t count on it.

The artistic community has said little about other Jewish performers being cancelled or silenced. Why start now?

Ryan McMaken attempts to explain “Why Comments Sections Are Not Coming Back to Mises.org,” Power & Market (07/31/2026). He makes the obvious point that the owner of the site can set whatever policy it wants. But as one commentator noted:

One of the article’s arguments is that the Mises Institute has no obligation to provide a platform for its critics. That is true, but it addresses only the Institute’s right to close its comment sections—not whether doing so is intellectually wise. Property rights determine who has the authority to make the decision; they do not establish that open criticism has little value or that eliminating it best serves the Institute’s educational and scholarly mission.

And of course his screed ends with this censorious little graphic:

https://t.co/ZMU2yly8eL@ryanmcmaken’s defense of keeping comments disabled on @mises raises several legitimate practical concerns, but it does not fully justify the broader dismissal of comment sections as intellectually unhelpful.

One of the article’s arguments is that the…

As I tweeted back,

If you have a blog and want to turn off comments, that’s one button. You don’t need to erase years of old archived comments, change the name of the blog, change link structure without redirects, or reimpose strict copyright controls.

I already explained what has gone wrong at Mises.org and what should be done now in “My Years with the Mises Institute,” Property and Freedom Journal (May 2, 2026), in particular in the subsections: Pointless Name Changes, Website Changes, and Journal Confusion; Open Publishing Abandoned; Mises.org; Copyright and Open Publishing/Information:

Mises.org; Copyright and Open Publishing/Information

The CC-BY policy previously used should be adopted again, and the website overhauled so that old comments are restored, broken links fixed, and the JLS and QJAE unified in one place each, with all back issues and volume easily findable. Its most useful programs, in particular the Mises U, could be expanded to invite as many  students as possible, even if it is more costly. Surely the donors who have provided funds would be in favor of such expenditures. All these are easy fixes if there is a President who understands this and has the support and resources to get this done.
