Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead announced the cancellation of two upcoming shows with Israeli musician Dudu Tassa in the UK due to “credible threats,” which has been welcomed by the pro-Palestinian PACBI-BDS movement, who view the events as complicit in the “artwashing” of genocide. In a letter, Greenwood and Tassa expressed disappointment over the censorship and silencing of artists, emphasizing that art should transcend politics and that musicians should be free to perform regardless of their governmental affiliations. This incident follows recent cancellations of concerts by Irish band Kneecap amid similar political tensions.
