Explaining his motivation, Brian Eno highlighted the silence surrounding Palestine in the arts due to fear of backlash. “We can’t remain silent. This is our chance to stand together and say this can’t continue.” His determination reinforces the cause for the combined efforts of individuals like Billie Eilish Cillian Murphy, together for Palestine.
