Israeli Lobbyists Forced Spotify to Censor Palestinian Music

The Zionist lobby groups successfully forced Spotify to delete pro-resistance Palestinian music. The groups even enlisted the help of the British government. Firstly, it became clear that the lobby was targeting the platform when We Believe in Israel, a project of the UK’s outstanding public relations body for Israel, announced that it was mandating the removal of British-Iraqi hip-hop artist Lowkey from the streaming service back in March 2022.

The point worth mentioning here is that the attempt against Lowkey failed due to significant public backlash and celebrity support. As a result, the lobby groups didn’t keep calm and succeeded in removing the work of Palestinian artists Shadi al-Bourini and Qassem al-Najjar. We Believe in Israel is actually led by former arms industry lobbyist Luke Akehurst. In a press release with the Board of Deputies, he admitted that the organizations had lobbied a British Minister on the issue.
