Rapper Macklemore is a vocal supporter of Palestine and Gaza residents. During a recent concert at MetLife Stadium, he yelled “Free Palestine!” onstage, projected images of devastation in the area, and performed protest song “Hind’s Hall.”
Now, it seems that American venues are not willing to play ball with the Seattle artist, and he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour.
“After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates,” according to Messina Touring Group, the promoter of Loop Tour. This news follows backlash from organizations like StopAntisemitism and others, such as pop star Pink.
Cool. No clue who any of these guys are, but I’m with the macklemore guy. And no. I don’t want to know more.
The macklemore guy is an antisemite FYI
like a real one of according to Ben’s definition? If a real one, fuck this one too
Another commenter replied to this accusation with a context link.
I don’t know the deep beliefs this guy holds, but this costume + “from the river to the sea” (= ethnic cleansing/destruction of Israel) are tells for me.
Certainly ground for Ed Sheeran to drop him.
