This Week with David Rovics

"The Genocidal Democratic Senators Song" REMIX

While Israel continues its genocide of the Palestinians, all the Republicans in the Senate and half of the Democrats voted once again to continue facilitating the genocide. This song names the names of the genocide-supporting Democratic Senators, all of whom should obviously not be in positions of power -- all of whom should be locked up in the Hague, for that matter. This version is another brilliant remix from Chet, bound eventually for another album.

"Now They Say It's Time to Recognize Palestine" REMIX

Another powerful remix from Chet Gardiner to drive home the message of the song I wrote just the other day, following announcements from Israel-supporting, war-profiteering leaders like Starmer, Carney, and Albanese that they might just consider recognizing the state of Palestine  --if there are any Palestinians left alive come September, and if Hamas gives up and the Palestinians who haven't been killed yet pretend effectively "play dead."

New song: "Now They Say It's Time to Recognize Palestine"

The western powers talking about recognizing the state of Palestine sometime in the fall if certain outrageous conditions are met is the very definition of the term, "gaslighting."

The Genocidal Democratic Senators Song (corrected)

After 22 months of Israel's total war on the children of Gaza, Senator Bernie Sanders put forward a bill to stop sending arms to the Israeli death machine.  All the Republicans in the Senate voted against it, along with half of the Democrats.  These 24 Democratic senators who voted to support Israel's ongoing genocidal war have names.  And after initially trusting an AI chatbot to give me correct names, I did some proper research with the aid of human journalists, and wrote an updated version of the song.

Going Down Under

If it weren't for a very long flight, all the kangaroos and kookaburras, and everyone driving on the left side of the road, I might have thought I was still in the USA.

"From Auschwitz to Gaza" REMIX

This song is probably my best songwriting effort on the awful subject of Israel's continuing genocide of the Palestinian people by mass starvation. Chet Gardiner has provided us with another stellar remix.

New song: "From Auschwitz to Gaza"

Some distinctions between Auschwitz and Gaza? Gaza is much bigger. And the genocide is being financed and armed by the US and most of the rest of the western world.

Sydney Gaza rally recording

Vivien Langford was at last weekend's Gaza solidarity rally in Sydney for 3CR Community Radio, and she made this audio montage from the rally, featuring an amazing speech from someone from the Australian Jewish Council, followed by Kamala and I singing "I Support Palestine Action," and an announcement about the National Convergence on Canberra, which we will be singing at today, tomorrow, and Tuesday.

New song: "Maha Almassri" #FreeMaha

Maha Almassri is a Palestinian grandmother from the Gaza Strip who was staying with her son in Sydney, New South Wales, after fleeing Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, when one morning she was abducted by police in a pre-dawn raid and put in detention, where she remains today, with no explanation, and no recourse but detention or "self-deportation."  Maha is one of several Palestinians who have been similarly abducted and detained by Australian authorities this month.
