Digitalne streaming platforme (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer…) odbile su da puste Borghesijin singl “Gaza Youth Manifesto” – nedavno objavljenu kompoziciju nastalu kao ponovni pokušaj privlačenja pažnje na ono što se događa u Palestini.
Borghesia “Gaza Youth Manifesto” – novi pokušaj skretanja pažnje na događaje u Palestini
Na zahtev izdavačke kuće Dallas Records za preciznijim objašnjenjem zašto je došlo do zavaren, stigla je poruka da “pesma ne zadovoljava osnovne smernice streaming muzičkih platformi”.
Tekst manifesta, koji ukazuje na uključenost svih učesnika u sukobu, a objavljen je u britanskim novinama The Guardian 2011. godine, na kraju je ove vesti. U nastavku donosimo izjavu kreatora benda Borghesia:
– Ovom odlukom postavljamo si pitanje koji dijelovi ovog teksta ne zadovoljavaju smjernice koje diktiraju platforme za streaming glazbe? Ne razumijemo kriterije – je li sporna riječ “Jebote”, je li riječ “Hamas” ili “Izrael”? Eksplicitno objašnjenje što je točno sporno, nismo dobili.
“Inače, ponovila se priča iz 2013. godine, kad je Borghesia već bila napravila muziku za manifest “Gaza Youth’s Manifesto For Change” u obliku pesme ‘194’, objavljene na albumu “And Men Created God”. Album je iz nepoznatog razloga nestao iz kataloga izdavačke kuće Metropolis i sa svih streaming glazbenih platformi. Cenzura umetnosti ne pripada demokratskom društvu i svi joj se moramo odupreti! Danas je Borghesia, sutra si ti na redu!”, saopštio je Dallas Records.
Numera još uvek može da se čuje na platformi YouTube:
GAZA YOUTH’S MANIFESTO FOR CHANGE:
Fuck Hamas. Fuck Israel. Fuck Fatah. Fuck UN. Fuck USA! Enough, enough is enough!
We, the youth in Gaza, are so fed up with Israel, Hamas, the occupation, the violations of human rights and the indifference of the international community!
“We want to scream and break this wall of silence, injustice indifference like the Israeli F16s breaking the wall of sound; scream with all the power in our souls in order to release this immense frustration that consumes us because of this fucking situation we live in…
Fuck Hamas! Fuck Israel! Fuck Fatah! Fuck UN! Fuck USA! Enough, enough, enough!
“We are sick of being caught in this political struggle; sick of coal-dark nights with airplanes circling above our homes; sick of innocent farmers getting shot in the buffer zone because they are taking care of their lands; sick of bearded guys walking around with their guns abusing their power, beating up or incarcerating young people demonstrating for what they believe in; sick of the wall of shame that separates us from the rest of our country and keeps us imprisoned in a stamp-sized piece of land; sick of being portrayed as terrorists, home-made fanatics with explosives in our pockets and evil in our eyes; sick of the indifference we meet from the international community, the so-called experts in expressing concerns and drafting resolutions but cowards in enforcing anything they agree on; we are sick and tired of living a shitty life, being kept in jail by Israel, beaten up by Hamas and completely ignored by the rest of the world.
Fuck Hamas! Fuck Israel! Fuck Fatah! Fuck UN! Fuck USA! Enough, enough, enough!
“There is a revolution growing inside of us, an immense dissatisfaction and frustration that will destroy us unless we find a way of canalising this energy into something that can challenge the status quo and give us some kind of hope.
“ENOUGH! Enough of pain, enough tears, enough suffering, enough control, limitations, unjust justifications, terror, torture, excuses, bombings, sleepless nights, dead civilians, black memories, bleak future, heart-aching present, disturbed politics, fanatic politicians, religious bullshit, enough incarceration!
Fuck Hamas. Fuck Israel. Fuck Fatah. Fuck UN. Fuck USA! Enough, enough, enough!
WE SAY STOP! This is not the future we want! We want to be free. We want to be able to live a normal life. We want peace. Is that too much to ask?”
