JVL Introduction
We Believe in Israel, a pro-Israeli propaganda group, has recently tried to get the music of renowned rapper and Palestine solidarity campaigner Lowkey banned from Spotify.
As Paul Salvatori explains in this article in the Palestine Chronicle, they are “deliberately framing Lowkey as a hateful propagandist when in fact he’s an exemplary artist, namely one—through his powerful music—fighting for Palestinian justice.”

What a bunch of bullies they seem to be at ‘We Believe In Israel’, They have the establishment media spouting one-sided half-bottomed rot for them, but they want to silence a rapper. For goodness sake! Lowkey is rather good, a coherent speaker also. And Lowkey is absolutely correct. Keep it up, Lowkey.
The Director of We Believe In Israel, Luke Akehurst, is a a member of Labour’s National Executive Committee (NEC), and a former lobbyist for the arms industry. Tells you everything you need to know about Keir Starmer’s new New Labour Party.
Music can be a great mobiliser for Peace and Justice.
Long Live Palestine.
Long Live Lowkey.
“They” do not like the young being given messages by charismatic intelligent singers when badness could slide by unnoticed. All power to Lowkey. Russian musical history is a good example of the effectiveness of music explaining, sympathising, and coercing the masses and the lengths politicians,often tyrants, will got to to bend that music to their advantage.
So long as Starmer refuses to acknowledge the Palestinian peoples rights and the IDF’s crimes against humanity, Labour is going to be very difficult to support.
It seems that pro-Israeli propagandists are currently operating from many sources. It is surely the role of honest journalists to call them out. Where are the BBC’s journalists, where are the Guardian’s?
I 100% agree with James Dickens. Luke Akehurst spends every waking hour, to stop criticism of Israel.
