Paloma Faith, 43, made an emotional speech at a pro-Palestine demonstration near the Israeli Embassy in London on Saturday, condemning Israel’s renewed attacks on Gaza after a ceasefire collapse. The British singer, visibly distraught, highlighted the humanitarian crisis, stating, “When the ceasefire was called, I was relieved but fearful it wouldn’t last. Israel has violated every ceasefire agreement it’s ever signed.”
She emphasized the staggering toll on children, revealing, “Last Tuesday, Israel killed 174 children in 24 hours—a child every eight minutes. We should stand in silence for each victim, but that would take over 300 hours. So I won’t fall silent.” Faith, using her platform to advocate for Gaza, added, “If I don’t speak out for the oppressed, I’m complicit.”

Later, she shared her speech on Instagram, writing, “Anyone with a heart must see how wrong this is.” The protest appearance aligns with her longstanding activism, rooted in what she calls a morally grounded upbringing.
On Cancel Culture: “I’m Confident in My Ethics”
In a recent interview, Faith dismissed fears of being “canceled,” crediting her multicultural upbringing. “I was raised by a socialist around diverse communities—gay, straight, trans, drag queens. My politics are on the right side,” she told The Sun. She added, “Most canceled people are straight white men who’ve done harm. You can’t harass others and expect no consequences.”

Podcast Revelations and Personal Life
Her podcast, Mad, Sad & Bad, features candid conversations with guests like Alan Carr and Mel B. Faith shared wild anecdotes, including a risqué encounter in Seville at 21: “An old lady glared as someone went down on me in the street.” Another “mad” moment involved crafting a papier-mâché Oyster card to trick a bus driver—a prank that backfired.

Her “saddest” period followed her 2022 split from Leyman Lahcine, father of her two children. However, she’s since moved on, debuting her new boyfriend, Stevie Thomas, at a BRITs afterparty. The pair were photographed embracing, marking her first public relationship since the breakup.

New Music on the Horizon
Currently working on her seventh album, Faith draws inspiration from everyday conversations and personal experiences. “I’m pulling ideas from everywhere—life events, journal entries, even random readings,” she revealed.
Through activism, podcasting, and music, Paloma Faith continues to blend artistry with advocacy, refusing to stay silent on issues close to her heart.
