      No, they have not.

      From an article on a recent boycott of the group at an Australian music festival:

      Organisers of protests across the country have called for a boycott of the duo, with activist group Stop War On Palestine in particular alleging:

      1. That they have publicly supported “every major assault on Gaza in recent years - including Israel’s current genocidal war.”

      2. The cover of their 2023 single, ‘Dance Forever’, "featured an Israeli flag blanketing all of historic Palestine.”

      3. One half of the duo, Amit Duvdevani’s claims that supporters of Palestine are “brainwashed”.

      4. A regular collaborator Skazi’s comments that his fans should “dance on the ruins of Gaza”.

      5. Continued donations by the duo to the Tel Aviv Foundation, which has ties to the IDF, along with Tribe of Nova, whose co-founder launched an intelligence platform that supplies intelligence to the Israeli military.
