As Israel’s onslaught on Palestinian lives, especially in the Gaza Strip, only continues its ravages, artists from all over the globe are now coming forward to stand against the atrocity. One of the collective actions making buzz online is the newly launched “No Music for Genocide” initiative, which has been joined by over 400 singers and artists around the world.
