Topshelf Records Launches Donation Initiative for Aid in Gaza
Briefly

Israel's actions in Gaza have precipitated a severe crisis, with famine classified as the worst-case scenario by the UN-backed IPC. This humanitarian disaster is identified as man-made, fueled by continued support from the US and other nations. The article emphasizes the moral responsibility of artists to speak out against violence and genocide, underscoring that silence equates to complicity. The potential consequences of inaction include a redefined world suffering from interconnected crises such as climate change, poverty, and failing public services. The call for Palestinian liberation is framed as a struggle for collective liberation.
Israel's genocide in Gaza has reached its next tipping point, with final stage famine now on the rise, confirmed by the UN-backed IPC as the "worst-case scenario of famine".
This famine is man-made, supported by the US government and other nations unwilling to stop their funding and denial of Israel's war crimes.
As musicians and artists, our collective humanity and responsibility toward one another bind us; we cannot remain silent while an entire people are eradicated.
What we choose to overlook now will redefine the state of our world, as the imperial war machine underlies all problems we face, including climate and poverty.
