never heard of this macklemore but this move by ed removes any interest i had in his obvious skill and talent;
Macklemore has been removed from the duration of a tour with Ed Sheeran for saying “Free Palestine” and criticizing Israel’s genocidal atrocities in Gaza.
In an eloquent statement posted on social media, Macklemore said he was told by Sheeran that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft had barred him from the Gillette Stadium and coordinated with other stadium owners on Sheeran’s tour to follow suit.
Robert Kraft has a net worth of some $15 billion. He was once publicly handed a trophy by Benjamin Netanyahu honoring his commitment to the Zionist project, after which he gave a speech saying, “After my family, there is nothing I’m more passionate about than the State of Israel and my Jewish identity.”
Macklemore said Sheeran defended his decision to comply with Kraft’s demand by telling him that “the words ‘Free Palestine’ and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people.” Which really says a lot about the detached celebrity cloud that Sheeran has been living on. If it hurts your feelings to hear someone saying genocide is bad and people should have freedom, then you deserve to have your feelings hurt............more.......
