"The children will grow up".
This was also the argument that Nazi officials gave, during the Nuremberg Trials, to justify why they had killed children during the Holocaust.
Even though the Kraft money is definitely going to some awful Israeli group that supports apartheid, the fact that he felt he had to say something means that both him and Ed Sheeran are panicking right now. The public pressure is working. Keep it up.
Paloma Faith questions Ed Sheeran’s neutrality after he said he doesn’t like to discuss politics:
“I played a concert with [him] to raise money for Ukraine, so he wasn’t apolitical doing that. I don’t really understand why one feels more political than the other.”

okay not to beat a dead horse but can't stop thinking about how macklemore's statement made it obvious how it hurt him to clash with his longtime friend while ed is just throwing him under the bus. "macklemore asked to join the tour and his contract is with the promoter". really?
Interesting choice. Do I bow down to a guy in the Epstein files, or do I stand up for my friend of 13 years and his right to free speech? Hmm doesn’t seem that difficult to me. Yes, Ed Sheeran was put in a tough position but not an impossible one. You never choose Robert Kraft.
I didn’t know who this fella was but a quick google tells me he released his first EP last year so touring with Ed Sheeran would have done wonders for his popularity.
Fair fucks to him, truly, for being a morally upstanding individual. I’ll give his music a listen.
Anche il regista e attore Xavier Dolan si è espresso su quanto accaduto e dichiarato in un post dal cantante Macklemore, il quale è stato escluso dal tour di Ed Sheeran per essersi esposto contro il genocidio palestinese.
If hearing “Free Palestine” makes you uncomfortable, your comfort is built on the subjugation and oppression of 7.5 million people. Explain how that makes you different from a colonizer.
jacob tierney doing instagram activism liking pro-palestine posts re: ed sheeran but then sticking by his decision to cast his violently islamophobic zionist friend in his show...lol. lmao even. perfect microcosm of the white liberal mind
not gonna lie i was reading though that macklemore post waiting for him to defend ed sheeran’s choice but he exposed that man for who he is and doubled down on his stance against israel. that is how you oppose apartheid
