From an article with Louder, 14/04/24: "“We’ve endless, special respect for younger artists or artists at earlier stages of their careers who choose to take a stand against corporate support for apartheid and now genocide in Palestine,” Massive Attack say. “It’s extraordinary to think that in 2024, promoters and festivals still don’t understand that as artists, our music is for sale but our humanity and morality is not. The truth is, while the boycott of events sponsored by toxic corporations like Barclays is courageous, the motives behind it are totally uncontroversial: everyone can see what’s happening in Gaza and no one should accept it.”
As a quick check on their real accounts on other platforms shows or the many interviews they have done, they have nothing but opposition for what Israel is doing to Gaza.
The band's actual position:
The fake Massive Attack account is still active, still gaining followers (200 or so since this morning I think), and is still posting fascist propaganda, their latest one below.
Keep reporting, and if you’ve got mutuals following it, let them know what it is.

my friend Haneen needs mutual aid urgently! if you can please donate! even the minimum is helpful!
there’s so many new people on bsky & many Palestinians requiring funds for food, supplies, necessities right now! Haneen needs to get to safety with her husband & continue their lives:
mmhm precisely :/.
*willingly ignorant shite. ✨. ugh but no i hate it here lmao and they need to implement locked accounts to keep people safe also, just don’t understand why they wouldn’t give people the option
god this too, i feel for trans community here having had a safer place respected and looked out for by ppl here, bc some are actually at risk unlike white middleclass cishet bigots that say theyve had to leave *now* & as if they have been harmed by mild upset. it’s a load of shit.
it is so bad and it’s exhausting seeing the liberals here self congratulating themselves over being a “twitter refugee” and like i’m sat here as a non refugee screwing my face up at these people so ugh the poor people who are actually refugees reading all this willingly ignorant.
i gotta turn off the moderations for spam to warn instead of block- recommending to anyone who hasn’t because bsky has incorrectly labelled some people’s as such- including people in Palestine and Haiti which is just plain wrong, these people are trying to raise funds to survive!!!
only to arrive here and be act like they can finally just block out marginalised people, not have to be held to account or be reminded of racism, transphobia, ableism and other forms of violence against certain demographics vulnerable to hate and it comes from liberals who think it couldn’t 🙃
staying on twitter anyway because i think there’s important information & happenings over on the platform to looking out for. of course take off a bit for health- do what you must but at this point i see who’s deactivated came here and profess themselves to be “twitter refugees”……
Please share and donate if you can to @alaaibrahim.bsky.social, a mother of two in Gaza. She urgently needs $200 for her toddler son, Muhammad, for milk and antibiotics to treat a parasitic infection caused by the horrendous conditions & a lack of clean running water www.gofundme.com/f/alaa-and-h...
everytime someone tries to say endometriosis is ‘just’ a reproductive disease a nerve ending in me dies lmao
guess i should should say something here then in the ✨better place with the greener grass ✨ that definitely doesn’t do things like ban Palestinians trying to survive genocide or let people make terf lists… and no racism here either 🤗
