“Yo I just want to let you know you’ll have to leave the tour because you saying ‘end the Holocaust’ has offended the small group of rich and powerful Nazis I’ve spoken to. I am neutral by the way.”
.@TulsaFootball head coach @CoachTreLamb9 opened his weekly press conference this afternoon by taking a moment to remember Kayla, the wife of outside linebackers coach John Beckley. Kayla passed away suddenly on Wednesday. The team will honor her with a helmet sticker. #ReignCane
My children are hungry and I don’t know where to turn. 💔
Where is the humanitarian flotilla that promised to bring food and aid?
Was all that hope just a show?
How can the world watch children suffer and remain silent? 🇵🇸

Robert Kraft, who sought to ban Macklemore from Ed Sheeran’s tour, funded Donald Trump and his name was also included on “Netanyahu’s list of millionaires” leaked over a decade ago.
It seems Netanyahu considered Robert Kraft to be a funder of his election campaign.
Robert Kraft — who's given millions to pro-Israel orgs like AIPAC — got a $1M award from Netanyahu for helping stop people from boycotting Israel.
"Israel does not have a more loyal friend than Robert Kraft," Netanyahu said.
Now Kraft helps kick Macklemore off Ed Sheeran's tour:
Macklemore has been dropped From Ed Sheeran's tour and says Sheeran "told me that the words 'Free Palestine' and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with."
"I told him that if those words were 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."

@PopBase Robert Kraft, owner of Gillette Stadium, is the one who rallied stadium owners to demand Ed Sheeran drop Macklemore from the tour. Kraft has donated $3 MILLION to AIPAC's United Democracy Project super PAC.
Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham says any person from Ireland who does not support Palestine cannot truly consider themselves Irish and needs DNA test
Hay Ed Sheeran take a note!
We strongly condemn Robert Kraft and other stadium owners who reportedly pressured Ed Sheeran to drop Macklemore from his U.S. tour over his support for the Palestinian people and opposition to the Gaza genocide.
Privately owned sports stadiums should never threaten to ban musicians because they dare to oppose the murder of children, and publicly owned stadiums entities cannot engage in such censorship without violating the First Amendment.
We call on Mr. Sheeran and the tour promoters to reverse course. They should pursue legal options or reschedule his tour rather than give in to bullying by billionaires who care about free speech as much as they care about slaughtered Palestinian children.
We call on stadiums hosting Mr. Sheeran's tour that are owned by a governmental entity to publicly clarify whether they joined on this threat to cancel Mr. Sheeran's tour.
Macklemore is being targeted for criticizing the genocidal mass murder of the Palestinian people and calling for the liberation of Palestine, stances applauded by prior audiences.
Macklemore is taking a heroic stance and Mr. Sheeran should stand with him. The companies responsible for this attack on free speech for the benefit of a foreign government must be held accountable.
told you the israel advocacy orgs would hit the venues hard. its quite remarkable how much they exercise control over free expression.
being for palestinian emancipation is the moral majority position, and yet, corporations still cave to these ridiculous pressure campaigns.
Mass. taxpayers pitched in up to $72 million for building Gillette stadium in 2002 and the Kraft Group is currently refusing to pay Foxboro an invoiced $953,640 to renew the stadium's entertainment license.

Sarah died today..RIP🕊️
Last year, 6-year-old Sarah was shot in the head by Israeli sniper in Gaza.
After months of deliberate delay, the occupation finally permitted her to travel to Jordan to receive medical treatment, but she died of her injuries.
