It strikes me there must be some atonement for Siouxsie's wearing of a Nazi armband, and antisemitic references in Love in a Void. As she grew up she realised she'd been misguided or naive at best, plain racist at worst. We all do and say dumb things when we are young, maybe she saw a chance to seek make a statement that countered earlier perceptions. Also, she spent a year wearing the Star of David...
@feufollet she is atoning for nothing. She has the right to free speech and free expression. This song is about the suffering of Palestinians at the hands of Israel, that’s what Siouxsie is singing about.

@feufollet I don’t think Siouxsie felt she had to atone, she, like a lot of punks at that time wore swastikas and Nazi symbolism to shock etc. I doubt she regrets the fundamentals of punk.

@feufollet „Little orphans in the snow..“ it’s about post holocaust time. After the war.
Siouxsie said herself for being ashamed for wearing swastika , she said she didn’t understand the true meaning of it , and did wear David star for a while
Not every song about Israel is with criticism about it..
Sorry to disappoint you. Read the facts about the band first .

Hi, I'm poster LeFeuFollet - lost original sign-on. Was not refuting the references to Palestine, and Siousxie tends to favour the oppressed and does address political or cultural issues no question. Swimming Horses another obvious example of this, about honour killings.

What I was saying in my original post was that in addition wearing a star of David is an obvious counterpoint to wearing a Swastika.

As a postscript, the punk idea if wearing a swastika as an "up yours" to the previous generation was always thin in logic, and still repellent. Looking at Johnny Thunders in one was always depressing too, when he made such great music. The symbol will always represent death and destruction...
@feufollet The swastika is an Indian religious symbol which the Nazis stole in perhaps the worst act of cultural appropriation ever. You can still see it on Hindu and Buddhist temples all over India. So it's not entirely correct to say it will always mean death and destruction. Siouxsie, Sid Vicious and a few others weren't wearing it as a nod to eastern religions though, more as a stupidly immature attempt to shock mainstream sensibilities.
