To respect BDS, we won’t be playing this AI-generated apologia for the Gaza genocide, or anything else from George’s catalogue, but Tim does explore the British singer’s confused history of political pronouncements on this and other issues, alongside some contemporaneous synth-pop from his New Romantic heyday. <br>Elsewhere in the episode Tim talks about his own Jewish upbringing, the history of Israel, the nation’s participation in Eurovision, current reflections on the horrors being perpetrated in Palestine, and some modern and vintage Palestinian liberation music. </p><p><br></p><p>Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod</p><p>www.loveisthemessagepod.co.uk</p><p><br></p><p>Tracklist:</p><p>The Equals - Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys </p><p>Visage - Fade to Grey </p><p>Heaven 17 - (We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thing </p><p>Kofia - Leve Palestina </p><p>Roger Waters - Comfortably Numb Re-Imagined <br></p>
