"Q: Sixty million American readers here fascinated by one thing—success. That is the aim of every American. Is there a recipe for it?

"A: ... I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.... 
    "[N]atural feelings are never enough. You have got to marry those natural feelings and tendencies—to marry them with really hard work—but the hard work comes more easily when you are doing things that you want to do ... You must be fundamentally attracted towards it."

~ Margaret Thatcher in a 1986 interview with Parade magazine

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?
