@suegreene633@withlovejohana “He speaks like an antisemite” isn’t an argument. It’s an accusation. Criticizing Israel’s government and military isn’t the same as hating Jews. You’re repeating a label and hoping nobody asks for evidence.
@suegreene633@withlovejohana Gaining followers after taking a risk doesn’t mean there was no risk to begin with. You’re confusing the outcome with the decision.
@suegreene633@withlovejohana You can’t answer because you know stadium owners don’t have a right to impose to artists what they can or can’t speak about.
@suegreene633@withlovejohana I can read, Sue. Ed Sheeran still has almost 50 million people following him. Almost 25% of the entire population of my country.

@suegreene633@withlovejohana These artists are smaller and less influential than Ed Sheeran, have more to lose, and still walked away from a platform that could advance their careers rather than accept that kind of silencing. /2
@lewscard Impressionante que todo mundo pode lutar pela própria independência, menos a Palestina. Estados Unidos entrou em guerra contra a Inglaterra; países latinos contra a Espanha. No século passado, teve a guerra da Argélia contra a França. O fim da guerra depende de Israel
