British pop singer Boy George released the song “We Will Dance Again” on Sunday, voicing support for Israel and Jewish communities in the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre.

The Culture Club frontman shared the track on social media, where it quickly drew millions of views. The song references the Hamas-led Palestinian assault on southern Israel and criticizes what he portrays as selective criticism of Israel, while expressing solidarity with victims.

In the lyrics, Boy George sings, “You say genocide, I say war / When you’re attacked, that’s what the army’s for,” and in the chorus, “If you’re ever confused / I stand with the Jews.”

The track also includes Hebrew elements and repeated references to dancing, widely seen as a nod to victims of the Nova music festival massacre.
