Stop the killing of innocent people. De Centrale is deeply shocked by the recent violence against civilians in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. Our thoughts are with the countless victims and their families. De Centrale maintains close ties with musicians from the region; musicians who, through their music, express hope for a better future for all citizens despite the violent politics and mutual resentments. For De Centrale, the people there have a face through an employee who has lost most of her family in Palestine. We, along with many others, call on our political leaders to do everything in their power to achieve an immediate ceasefire and the application of international humanitarian law.
