The IAC, which says it represents more than 150,000 Israeli-Americans, launched a petition addressed to Sheeran, his tour management, upcoming venues and promoter Live Nation demanding Macklemore's removal from the remainder of the 'Loop Tour', calling his set a one-sided political agenda dressed as fact.
