Racism Ain’t Punk w/ Punks Against Apartheid

On this episode of CounterPunch Radio, Rebecca Maria Goldschmidt talks with members of Punks Against Apartheid to discuss the history of the network, their entry points into Palestine organizing, and the current watershed moment of cultural intifada across global stages. In 2011, PAA launched a successful cultural BDS campaign against Dead Kennedys’ Jello Biafra, who canceled his scheduled gig in Tel Aviv. Relaunched in 2024, the network connects punk communities worldwide in mutual aid efforts, boycott campaigns, and encourages all artists and musicians to get involved to bring an end to the genocide and support Palestinians in their just struggle for liberation and self-determination.
