A message from Ms Rachel on Ed Sheeran.
"Ed Sheeran had an opportunity show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine. Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it."
Macklemore said Ed Sheeran’s “typical apolitical stance” was challenged as a result of demands from stadium owners, resulting in him being dropped from upcoming shows after he made pro-Palestine comments.

Rapper Macklemore says he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour after turning the stage into his own political soapbox.
Macklemore says Robert Kraft told Sheeran that the rapper must be dropped or he wouldn't be able to perform at Gillette Stadium.
"Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners, and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues," the rapper claimed.
"Ed was in a f*cked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words."
"I told him that if [Free Palestine] was more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public-facing, 'I don't take sides.'"
