Boy George has released a new song called We Will Dance Again, which presents support for Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. The track, shared on social media with both English and Hebrew titles, features a pop-reggae sound and contains lyrics that distinguish between warfare and genocide, referencing Hamas’s attack on the Nova music festival in October 2023 that resulted in civilian and security personnel casualties, along with hostages taken.
The song’s repeated title phrase echoes language used by Israelis to express solidarity following the October 2023 attack. In the chorus, Boy George states his support for Jewish people and criticizes what he characterizes as selective condemnation of Israel by musicians and activists. He references several artists who have publicly supported Palestinian causes, including figures from music and documentary film.
Boy George, who is not Jewish, has increasingly vocalized his backing for Jewish communities in recent months. In a recent interview, he explained that his support stems from longstanding personal relationships dating to his early career, while acknowledging he holds compassion for Palestinians. He has also voiced solidarity following an April stabbing incident targeting Jewish individuals.
The artist’s position on Israel contrasts with findings from United Nations inquiries. One report issued in 2025 concluded that Israel committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, a characterization Israel’s government disputed. A subsequent independent UN inquiry reached similar conclusions regarding ongoing genocide through targeting of children, which Israeli officials also rejected.
Boy George, prominent during the 1980s as frontman of Culture Club, has remained active in music and technology ventures. Last month, he launched a company utilizing artificial intelligence to create new versions of earlier recordings, beginning with a de-aged version of his hit single Karma Chameleon.
