Overview

• More than 400 artists and independent labels have moved to block their catalogs from streaming in Israel through geo-restrictions.
• Participants include Massive Attack, Rina Sawayama, Fontaines D.C., Japanese Breakfast, Arca, MIKE, Primal Scream, MØ, and others.
• Massive Attack asked Universal Music Group to remove their music from Israeli streaming services and separately requested a global takedown from Spotify, citing the CEO’s reported investments in military AI and munitions.
• Organizers urge Sony, UMG, and Warner to implement companywide restrictions, noting the groups blocked catalogs and shuttered operations in Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
• The coalition plans a 48-hour Radio Alhara takeover at the end of September as part of its partnership with PACBI.
