Pro-Palestinian Groups Urge Rosalía to Endorse BDS After Designer’s Rebuke

In a Sunday letter the groups praised Miguel Adrover’s stance in rejecting collaboration, urging her to leverage her platform to press for military and economic sanctions against Israel

Overview

  • Miguel Adrover turned down a custom design request from Rosalía in late July, declaring that silence on Gaza constituted complicity and demanding a public pro-Palestine statement.
  • On August 1 Rosalía published a full Instagram statement condemning the killing of innocent Palestinians and clarifying that her earlier silence did not signal indifference.
  • She argued that calling out peers undermines the cause and insisted that accountability efforts should target decision-makers rather than individual artists.
  • Humanitarian reports indicate more than 50,000 civilians have died in Gaza due to military attacks and famine, intensifying international calls for action.
  • Two Catalan pro-Palestinian organizations wrote to Rosalía on August 3 asking her to join the BDS movement and advocate for comprehensive sanctions against Israel.
