Over 1,000 labels and artists including Björk, Lorde and Paloma Faith have joined together to block Israelis from streaming their music as part of a global boycott campaign. 

The No Music for Genocide campaign, which urges musicians to ask streaming platforms to geo-block residents of Israel from accessing their work, was set up in September.

British artists Massive Attack and Paul Weller have confirmed that they had signed up to the campaign.

The campaign, which allows artists to sign up on its website, aims to get music companies such as Sony, UMG and Warner to follow suit and to take their music off Israeli streaming services.
