My ex’s dad worked for Exxon in Saudi Arabia for a number of years. Every reasonably well paid job had an “official” person who held the job title, permanently absent from their pristine office, and then they employed a foreigner to do the work. Saudis are discovering out that this strategy doesn’t work for a national military.
Macklemore opened for Ed Sheeran on Friday night in New Jersey, and during his set the rapper sang out “Free Palestine” before launching into a speech, telling the audience he wanted people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank to know they had not been forgotten.
His politically-themed set sparked a petition from the Israeli American Council, which demanded the rapper be removed from the remaining dates on the Loop tour.
