Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead criticized “censorship” after his upcoming shows with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa were canceled due to credible threats. The venues deemed it unsafe to proceed, prompting the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel to welcome the cancellations, claiming the concerts would “whitewash” the Gaza conflict. Greenwood and Tassa expressed disappointment in the situation, emphasizing that art should transcend politics and lamenting the weaponization of their cancellation by both political extremes.
