Putin, Netanyahu,Trump/ supporters & 1% techbros are stretching full agreement w/Macklemore. Their naked power, inhumanity & control of of economy, daily lives & personal freedom aren't trivial. We need to treat these pariahs of our global stability in a different way. Resist & break-up monopolies.

"WANTING ALL HUMANS TO BE TREATED EQUAL" Yes- but not trading one for the other either, which is what I hear in a lot of the language in support of Palestine. ISREAL existed in an unofficial capacity before 1967. The Bible is proof of that. It's been the KEY FEATURE OF HISTORY FOR THE LAST 2000 YRS

MUSLIMS will not acknowlege that- because it's not their religious book of choice-- BUT JESUS AND MARY ARE MENTIONED IN THE QURAN MORE THAN THE BIBLE. Christianity is an offshoot of JUDAISM and JESUS, the MESSIAH of the Bible-Was a Jew. JERUSALEM HAS THE TEMPLE MOUNT HISTORICALLY RELEVANT TO ALL3

He should absolutely NOT have been removed from the tour.It's fucking outrageous that Israel has such power to stop anyone saying out loud, that they support Palestine.Macklemore is correct that every decent human should want other humans treated fairly;not bombed,maimed,starved & slaughtered!

He's a UK citizen, the UK has recognised a Palestinian state with borders established by the Oslo Accords. The British patriotic position remains that we support Israel within their their borders, any construction outside of that jeopardises the two state solution. Israel fine; no settlements.

Keep your friggin’ political opinions to yourself and just entertain us!! That’s what we pay you for, not to get a lecture! 🤯🤬

#BoycottTheMessinaGroup, the promoters who knuckled under to censorship. #BoycottEdSheeran, the headline artist who knuckled under to censorship. #BoycotttheNewEnglandPatriots, the football team owned by the oligarch protecting genocide through censorship.

For decades we've seen Group A hurt Group B and vice-versa. One hit, and a counter to that, and again. Put it in a spreadsheet of needless deaths. October 7th: Horrific. Treatment of Palestinians in Gaza: Horrific. The humane should rule. The inhumane should be shunned. Either side. Any time.

By failing to speak out and then failing to defend someone who did, Sheeran shows the kind of person he is. Rich, famous and devoid of empathy. So few in his position deserve to be there.

Stadiums 🏟️ names are very telling who were part of the cancellation process. Bank Oil Gillette I wouldn’t spend a dime in them. All these stadiums stand over a genocide which currently shredding children, journalists and hospitals 🏥 and starves people. Gotcha 😉

He is completely right why must people make everything g about race? I. His comment he gave Jews a kudos he was referring to Israel not general Jews they took what he said out of context as if the whole world didn’t see what he said. Hello it was in public

The Free Palestine movement is hurting itself as the liberal movement overall and woke movement did. One mouth says "all people treated equal" another says "from the river to the sea" Preach and be morally superior on one hand, and be a terrorist supporter on the other. Classic.

Here's the thing. I defend Macklemore's right to say what he did. I agree with what he said. I also defend Ed's right to determine who he wants on his tour. That's how freedom works.

I’m tired of this country defending the terrorist State of Israel. And I don’t want to hear anything about antisemitism. I’m not against the people of Israel I’m against the assholes running it.

Kind of like how "From the (Jordan) River to the (Mediterranean) Sea" is decried as explicitly genocidal but the Greater Israel Project calling for the annexation of all land between the Nile and the Euphrates into the State of Israel is not.

Have you ever heard Israelis chanting “execute the ‘greater Israel project!’”? “River to the sea” is common and ubiquitous. Also, it is the official spokespersons of HAMAS that say regularly “we want to genocide the Jews”.

How does Ed Sheeran even have the power to do that? I could have sworn that Macklemore was the more popular of the two. He's definitely got the better politics of the two.

It seems it was stadium owners like (New England Patriots owner) Robert Kraft and some others telling Sheeran he had to drop Macklemore or *nobody* would be performing in their stadiums. Come on, Patriots fans, do something.

Surely they were just bluffing. There's no way a stadium would turn down a massive gig like that. And it's not like Sheeran needs the money🤔...JFC! Net worth of 370 million sterling. I never liked him anyway. I feel pretty vindicated.

No, Adolf Hitler was not elected by the German people He was chosen on January 30, 1933 by President Paul von Hindenburg & financial powers, following political dealings #LandBack >DECOLONIZATION Let's #DESTROY work & economy >REQUISITION #ABOLISH Police/Army & POLITICAL PARTIES >EMANCIPATION

Yes, but that pink haired college junior who is giving you the stink eye in class because you just said something racist is the real threat to free speech!

I respectfully disagree with that also. Palestinians can live without being destroyed and Israel can continue to exist but change needs to happen. Respecting that ALL people have a right to exist seems to be something that the world is struggling with right now.

What is wrong with people All people should be free and all people should have the right to say this Macklemore has this right This is why America was founded I'm just sad this is happening

Quite the refutation of the old stereotype that "Jews run everything". Zio's aren't even trying to hide their influence which means their backs are against the wall which means they're probably going to do something even more desperate very soon and try to blame it on the ground

Good for him. Someone should try explaining to Pink how religion isn't a factor here and has nothing to do with people's issues with Israel. It's one of many reasons why we shouldn't allow theocracies to exist. That's not Democracy when you're brainwashed from childhood to believe in nonsense.

Wasn't there a peace agreement signed between Israel and Palestinian leaders to rebuild Gaza? Didn't T-RR set up a fund for restoration of Gaza for the Palestinian people? It was a big deal when it happened. Did all the $$$ go to T-RR?

It involved all the Israeli hostages being returned to Israel, a trip to Saudia Arabia for the signing of the agreement between multiple countries. What happened to that?

Free Palestine. Shana tovah! Happy New Year! High Holy Days - Book of Judgement is open. Tikkun olam or Israel? What will diaspora Jews choose: the right side of history or support for genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, sadism, murder of children by the fascist self-proclaimed “Jewish State”?

It is unclear whether or not Sheeran will be singing “Eyes closed”, “Hearts don’t break around here”, “I don’t care”, or “What do I know?” on his US tour.

I will not watch another Patriots Game this season Sheeran should have told him to fuck off, then file lawsuit for violation of free speech and cause of action for business harm

As a person of Jewish heritage, this shows how deep Israel has its claws in world culture. This blind obedience to Israel, in the face of Netanyahu and company committing genocide in Gaza, and an imperialist invasion of its neighbors, is cowardice. Opposing Israel is not antisemitism!

I certainly don't condone the crap Hamas has done over the years including dictating to the people of Gaza. An eye for an eye is one thing, 1200 vs 74,000 people? The demon is Natanyahu and the one whispering in your ear.

Violent conflict and military control have lasted for nearly 78 years since 1948, with direct military occupation of Palestinian territories stretching back to 1967.

"The International Association of Genocide Scholars concluded that Israeli policies meet the legal definition of genocide. Casualties and Destruction: Over 73,000 Palestinians have been reported killed, and roughly 90% of civilian infrastructure in Gaza has been destroyed."

Weird how @forbes.com framed this as Sheehan removing Macklemore rather than the oligarch with a monopoly on music venues is censoring their art. Almost as if they promote class division in support of billionaires

What the fuck, people! This is the absolute minimum to hope for agree country for an entire group of people. I would more likely have gone to the concert after his comment.

He was apparently forced into it, but yeah, he could have told the stadium owners, "OK, then I won't perform either". That would have been the right thing to do. I wonder if people can get refunds for their tickets.

This is a massive tour, he has a staff, they are bringing in 60-80 trucks,that's 300 jobs for 4 days in every city. Its not something that he can just cancel because the opener has some shit to say that embarrasses the oligarchs. Looks like they win this one.He should do an album on this subject.

Palestine welcomed disenfranchised and threatened Eastern European Jewish people with open arms. I imagine that the Jewish people who lived in Palestine as refugees at a time when their future was dismal are horrified. Calling out genocide is not antisemitism. Netanyahu is a monster.

I 🤷🏽‍♀️. Another example that racism costs. This is 400 years of faux exceptionalism mocking 🇺🇸…again. Known sex offenders calling the shots others bow down to…while the masses whine…rationalize …and then reveal their true selves by going about their daily business…attending concerts. 🙄
