5.5 million dead in the Congo: silence
500,000 dead in Syria: silence
500,000 dead in Sudan: silence
400,000 dead in Yemen: silence
300,000 dead in Iraq: silence
250,000 dead in Afghanistan: silence
70K dead in Gaza (majority of them terrorists), the entire UN: “GAZA!!”
@HooReallyCares@SpencerGuard@netanyahu 2 million ppl have died in the Russian Ukraine war. About 73,000 Gazans have died most were combatants. No one feels worse than the Israeli’s for any life lost that wasn’t a combatant. Your lies and distortion disgust me.
Honored to have my research mentioned by @netanyahu in his address to the UNGA. Israel has in fact implemented more civilian harm mitigation measures (many that no nation has ever even imagined/attemped) than any military in history.
The other facts in his speech were also spot on. Israel has not only implemented extraordinary precautions in urban warfare to prevent civilian harm while Hamas has done everything it can to increase civilian harm, there is no genocide, actually the opposite of genocide in Gaza, Israel provided tons of food, water, medical supplies, facilitated immunizations for the entire populations, field hospitals, built new water lines, electricity, got patients to hospitals outside of Gaza, and much more.
It’s been more than a day since it was confirmed that at least 100,000 Iranian civilians, half of them children, were murdered by the Islamic regime during the January protests.
Ms. Rachel, Macklemore, and pro-Palestinian activists haven’t said a single word.
When October 7th happened, the "Free Palestine" crowd on social media was quick to push back, claiming these complete acts of evil were somehow justified.
My kids had real questions about what was actually happening, so instead of explaining it to them like in one of my chalkboards, I decided to take them to ground zero to see the devastation for themselves.
Because when you stand where families were slaughtered by neighbors they once invited to their weddings, or walk through a field where hundreds of young kids were hunted down at a music festival, the online propaganda completely vanishes. You realize the truth of that tragic day cannot be ignored.
It has now been confirmed that the Islamic regime in Iran has murdered at least 100,000 civilians, half of them under 18, whose sole crime was protesting for freedom.
Macklemore and Ms. Rachel haven’t said a single word.
Weird.
Ed Sheeran got on stage and spoke about the many injustices currently taking place around the world.
He brought attention to the genocides in Sudan, Myanmar, Ethiopia, and Nigeria;
He pleaded for an end to Russia / Ukraine war which has resulted in over 2 million dead;
Speaking with passion, he brought attention to the mass killings in Congo;
He spoke with conviction about gender apartheid in Afghanistan;
He rallied for people to pay attention to what’s happening in Syria and Yemen, countries where tens of millions are trapped in poverty;
He shone a light on the ongoing wars in Burkina Faso and Mali;
Finally, he begged that help be sent to Haiti, currently facing a deep security and humanitarian crisis, a country where armed gangs controll most of the capital and large parts of the country, and complete lawlessness runs rampant; it is located just 700 miles from the U.S.
Just kidding…
He didn’t talk about any of these conflicts.
Ed Sheeran only mentioned Israel,
He painted a picture that Israel is mistreating innocent Palestinians.
Then he started to cry.
For the record: Ed Sheeran specifically addressed October 7th in his speech tonight, saying, “What happened in Israel at the Nova music festival on October 7th was horrific and compounded centuries of Jewish pain.”
He’s probably one of the ONLY artists who has specifically acknowledged the Nova music festival by name. He’s not going to make everyone happy, obviously. But give the guy credit for saying it. And as he said, he’s there to talk about MUSIC, not politics. Give the guy some grace and respect, and move on.
Rolling Stone has learned that several venues allegedly told Ed Sheeran's tour promoter that they would not allow the rapper to perform.
This came after Macklemore made onstage statements in support of a “free Palestine” and critical of Israel's war in Gaza.
