Massive Attack, Brian Eno launch syndicate to defend artists criticizing Gaza war

British band Massive Attack, Brian Eno, Fontaines DC, and Kneecap launched a syndicate to defend artists criticizing Israel's war on Gaza. They say artists are targeted by 'aggressive, vexatious campaigns' by pro-Israel groups like UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI). The syndicate aims to protect emerging artists from being 'threatened into silence or career cancellation'. UKLFI filed a police report against Bob Vylan for chanting 'death to the IDF' at Glastonbury, now under investigation. UKLFI also filed a complaint with the BBC, and several shows were cancelled. Mo Chara of Kneecap was referred to authorities and charged with a terrorism offence for displaying a Hezbollah flag. Kneecap had concerts cancelled.
