<\/a>New Zealand Music Festival Cancels Set by Israeli DJ for Not Condemning Gaza War<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nShiryn Ghermezian<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Organizers of an underground music and arts festival in New Zealand removed an Israeli disc jockey from its lineup of performers because he has not publicly condemned Israel\u2019s military actions in the Gaza Strip and continues to perform in Israel, they announced this week.<\/span><\/p>\n DJ Dekel Kamiosky, who goes by the stage name Dekel, was scheduled to perform at the Twisted Frequency Festival. However, festival organizers said in a statement<\/a> published on Facebook that Dekel was the target of a boycott because of allegations concerning his views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which they described as \u201cthe ongoing occupation of Palestine.\u201d They said they also learned the DJ had previously served as a commander in the Israel Defense Forces.<\/span><\/p>\n Festival organizers said that as soon as they discovered the information about Dekel, they contacted his management to cancel his booking. They also tried to find evidence supporting the accusations about his stance on the Middle East conflict; however, they could not find \u201canything verified and substantial.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBut the fact he hasn\u2019t spoken out against the genocide in Palestine and has continued to perform in Israel is all that is needed to make our decision confidently. This is something we should have investigated and would have ruled out booking him in the first place,\u201d organizers said.<\/span><\/p>\n They acknowledged that Dekel\u2019s Israeli nationality and mandatory military service were not reason enough to push him out of the festival. \u201cHowever, lacking a public statement against the ongoing occupation and genocide, we cannot host Dekel on our line-up,\u201d they added, apologizing for booking the Israeli DJ.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt is the position of some music events that these spaces should not be made political. Twisted Frequency is not one of those events,\u201d the statement read in conclusion. \u201cThe actions of the Israeli government should be universally condemned. Twisted stands firm and loud for human rights and against oppression. Free Palestine!!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Dekel has not publicly commented on his removal from the music festival.<\/span><\/p>\n The festival displays a Palestinian flag onsite and has hosted workshops that address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and accuse Israel of \u201cgenocide\u201d in the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> New Zealand Music Festival Cancels Set by Israeli DJ for Not Condemning Gaza War Shiryn Ghermezian People visit the site of the Nova music festival, where partygoers were killed and kidnapped during the deadly Hamas-led Oct\/ 7, 2023, attack, on the third anniversary of the attack, near Reim, southern Israel, Oct. 7, 2026.
