“No one is free until Palestine is free” is such a true statement. Think about it. We can’t even publicly support Palestine without some sort of penalty. That’s proof enough how we are NOT free
All the acts that dropped out (except maybe Finneas) are not rich. As a matter of fact they probably made more money touring with Ed than they have ever made in their lives. That didn't stop them from doing the right thing. @edsheeran is worth half a billion and a coward
there's something so weird about constantly trying to prove your fave is pro-palestine i genuinely hate how an actual genocide turned into a stan war for so many people. we will not give your fav a standing ovation because they liked a pro-palestine post. grow tf up
Macklemore is speaking out after being dropped from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour, seemingly placing blame on New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, saying that the billionaire rallied other stadium owners to ban him from performing at their venues:
“Ed is my friend. I've known him for 13 years.... I told Ed multiple times on the phone, our friendship can't change my responsibility to tell the truth about what happened [in Gaza]... Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him. We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft Group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues....
Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He 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. But he couldn't get past his public facing, 'I don't take sides'....
I hope this isn't the end of my relationship with Ed. Thirteen years of friendship doesn't disappear because of one painful disagreement. I hope we both continue listening, studying what is happening in Palestine and wrestling with what neutrality means in a moment like this. My door will always be open to continuing that conversation....
I didn't need 10 shows from Ed. I needed 2. Two chances to stand in front of 90,000 people and say the words that somehow became too dangerous to say. Free Palestine. But if those words cost me the stage, while turning the conversation back to Palestine, then it was the most successful tour I've ever been on.”

so Robert Kraft, one if the owners of Gillette Stadium has rallied a bunch of other stadium owner to ban Macklemore for being pro-Palestine. but when we say jewish zionists own the world we’re the bad guys? right right right
Please when you talk about Israel and Palestine talk about Lebanon as well the death toll has now reached at least 8,948 recorded deaths and 30,638 injuries Israel is committing genocide there too and none of us should be silent while innocent people are being killed
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨My wonderful friends, this has become an absolute emergency. I desperately need your help. I can only beg you because my animals are hungry, and I cannot look into their eyes without feeling guilty for not having enough food for them. 🥺💔 We could buy food for our beautiful animals only for four days!
So please my friends , be there for the cats and dogs I am taking care of. . we need more help so we can buy more food for the cats , for our lovely dog Lisa, and obviously for the poor helpless vulnerable stray cats and dogs on the street.

II told you that our adorable dog, Lisa, is pregnant! 🐶Such lovely news! My uncle (my father’s brother) confirmed it 🤰 I am also convinced she is expecting pups. My children and I can’t wait to see her puppies—it fills our eyes with stars and our hearts with joy! ✨❤️
This is why we urgently need food for our cats 🐱 and for our wonderful dog Lisa 🐕. This cannot wait; it is an extreme emergency.🥫🛑
We urgently need donations. 🚨 💵 These helpless sweet animals need our constant help. If you could donate on a regular basis , it would be so wonderful for all of them.

I don’t think a lot of people criticize things out of love for things they consume, they either can’t differentiate between “this thing isn’t for me” and “I have ideas to improve this because I want it to be better.”
People love being mean and snarky online and it’s so weird.
