Raye Cosbert signed an open letter by the Creative Community For Peace asserting Israel's right to 'defend' itself, justifying the murder of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians and the ethnic cleansing of millions more.
He is the managing director of Metropolis Music
MUSIC
Raye’s career started at Metropolis Music in 1989. Prior to that he promoted club nights and small shows in London.
Raye began repping shows and quickly moved on to become a junior booker. Over the years he has worked across all areas of live including production, booking, ticketing, marketing, as well as of course promoting.
Raye quickly moved up through the Metropolis ranks and in 2017 got the top job as MD. He has always worked with a diverse group of artists, current acts such as Bjork, Goldfrapp, Tyler, the Creator, Charli XCX, Gorillaz, Koffee, Damian Marley, Chronixx, Snoh Aalegra, Mika… as well as promoting and supporting many up-and-coming artists.
In addition to his day job, Raye is also part of the UNICEF Music Group. Most recently the group has worked to alleviate child malnutrition in Liberia, raised funds to bolster the emergency fund to help children displaced by war and conflict, as well as projects to assist in UNICEF’s work around the world.
Creative Community for Peace Letter:
A staunchly pro-Zionist organisation, the Creative Community for Peace is on a mission to “galvanize support against the cultural boycott of Israel" and therefore working against anti-genocide and anti-apartheid protestors who want a free, liberated Palestine and the end of the 75+ year Israeli-occupation of Palestinian lands.
The Creative Community for Peace supports Israel by promoting dangerous Zionist propaganda that seeks to demonise Palestinians and those advocating for their liberation, defaming and smearing them as "calling for the murder of Jews everywhere” — both across its website and its social medias.
It also claims that Israel should and would take "the necessary steps to defend itself,” asserts Israel’s right to exist and declares the very crucial, compassion-driven anti-Zionist campaign as a “misinformation campaign spearheaded by Iran” — despite the very real, very well-documented genocide that has claimed the lives of over 35,000 RECORDED Palestinian deaths, without accounting for the ones that Israel has made a disconcerted effort to conceal.
These are crude attempts at white-washing and sanitising both history and the present through a revisionist Zionist lens that erases the 75+ years of subjugation, torture, assault, murder, ethnic cleansing and systematic erasure of Palestinians by Zionist machinations, Israel and even Israelis themselves.
By participating in such revisionist history —and signing their letter — this individual is actively perpetuating the oppression and marginalisation of Palestinians and are therefore complicit in the promotion of the Zionist agenda seeking to whitewash the atrocities committed against the Palestinian people while also vilifying those who advocate for their rights and liberation.
