While I totally hate what #Netanyahu and #Isreal are doing in #Gaza the motion by the #uk #GreenParty is a joke and punishes everyone who supports the existence of Israel. We need stronger sanctions against the current #Isaeli regime but not against all Israelis or Jews.

Excellent news #spotify is to label #AI #music they also will not allow them on "hit lists". Others such as #tidal will not pay money for AI music, and #Bandcamp have outright banned it. All of this is long overdue.
