The two IDF radio stations Army Radio and Galagalatz will continue to play songs performed by anti-Israel artists, including those who accuse Israel of genocide, IDF spokesmen said Friday.

"We will continue to play music. There must be a separation between art and opinion," the army explained.maxi jazz faithless palestine

The subject came up for debate after two members of the British band "Faithless," together with other British artists, created a song and video clip titled, "Freedom for Palestine." The video accuses Israel of a variety of crimes, including apartheid, racism, and crimes against humanity.

The video includes a cartoon in which IDF soldiers deliberately murder innocent Arab civilians and fire on a school. The soldiers are shown sitting in a tank with a blue star of David on the side, apparently to identify them as Jews.

At another point in the cartoon a soldier is shown pushing an Arab woman and her baby to the ground.

A second band, Coldplay, promoted the clip on its Facebook page. Coldplay is a popular band in Israel, and has considered appearing in Israel this September.
