The song references the October 7 Hamas attack that killed over 1,200 people.
Its opening lines state: "You say genocide, I say war / When you're attacked, that's what the army's for."
Boy George, who is not Jewish, has faced backlash for dismissing characterizations of Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide.
Reports from organizations like the United Nations and Human Rights Watch have described the situation as genocide.

In discussing the song, Boy George cites the 344 civilians killed during the attack at the Nova music festival, stating they were "murdered...
for the crime of dancing." The Palestinian death toll since the conflict began reportedly exceeds 73,000.
Boy George's lyrics also criticize pro-Palestinian musicians, saying: "You condemn the Jews, with selective memory / Musicians holding flags, mouthing like sheep."
