🎸🎤 Rock legend Paul Weller is taking a stand! The iconic former frontman of The Jam is suing his long-time accountants, Harris and Trotter, for dropping him after more than 30 years together. The reason? Weller’s outspoken views on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. 🇵🇸
After the accountants ended their professional relationship, Weller filed a discrimination claim. According to a legal letter, the firm, which has Jewish roots, was offended by Weller’s allegations that Israel is committing genocide and didn’t want to work with someone holding such views.
Weller is known for using his platform to voice his thoughts on international issues. He believes that what’s happening to the Palestinians in Gaza is a catastrophe and firmly stands by his statements. 🕊️
In a powerful statement, Weller declared, “Silencing those who speak this truth is not just censorship – it’s complicity.” What’s more, he’s donating any damages won from this legal action to humanitarian aid in Gaza.
His case is a part of a broader movement against silencing voices supporting Palestinian rights. As musician solidarity grows, many in the industry are facing challenges similar to Weller’s.
