Shameless and spineless from Spotify to remove Mohammed Assaf’s ‘Dammi Falestini’ song. My Blood is Palestinian surged in popularity amid the 2021 Palestinian protests against Israeli crackdowns in the village of Sheikh Jarrah as its dabke-appropriate beat resonated with Palestinian culture. Mohammad Assaf, a 33-year-old Gazan Palestinian pop singer who shot to stardom after winning the second season of Arab Idol in 2013, is outspoken against the Israeli occupation of his homeland and usually performs wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh as a symbol of his resistance.
The online uproar from fans and activists about the removal of Mohammed Assaf’s 2015 track My Blood is Palestinian from streaming giants Spotify and Apple Music seems to have quietened down, leaving many wondering what happened.
