Ed Sheeran and Robert Kraft are raising Macklemore’s $1 million donation to Palestinian relief by donating $2 million each — although it’s unclear exactly to whom. Kraft’s statement says: “I have dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people. I believe deeply

American rapper Macklemore has shared what he said that got him banned from Ed Sheeran's Loop tour. He literally says, his criticism is not directed against Jews but against the state of Israel and their genocide. I find it extremely saddening, that Ed Sheeran did not have the spine to stand up for the freedom of speech, and chose profit over…

Two days of public hearings were held on 11 and 12 January 2024 at the Peace Palace in The Hague.[10] The court ruled that it is plausible that Israel's acts could infringe rights of the Palestinian people protected by the Genocide Convention and issued provisional measures,[11] in which it ordered Israel to take all measures to prevent any acts…

The dam is breaking. Ed Sheeran & Robert Kraft have unintentionally opened the door to more and more artists speaking up in solidarity with Palestinians by standing with @macklemore.

Macklemore has announced he is donating his $1 million net earnings from the Ed Sheeran tour to organizations that support the Palestinian people.

Trumps Epstein class Oligarchs like Robert Kraft wants the world to accept 20,000 dead children . And they want us to ignore the next 50,000 children and innocents in the box. And if you use your voice in defense of all these dead children then you get doxed and lose your job. Next thing that jappens is those cameras at Gillette have facial…

I don’t know, if were at a concert, Macklemore saying “Free Palestine“ would be much less disturbing to me than Ed Sheeran saying, “Gonna play some of my songs for you right now.”

And this is apparently what passes for journalism today. No, the raging Zionist Robert Kraft who rounded up a posse of stadium owners to cancel Macklemore for supporting Gaza during his set is *NOT* doubling Macklemore’s $1M donation to Gaza. Ed both-sides-on-genocide Sheeran asked Kraft “to match a $2m (£1.5m) donation to ‘aid in the region’” (…

I'm going to be real, this has been an issue for the better part of the last 15 years, it just now affects speech people on reddit care about. Before this, "its a private platform/entity they can censor you all they want" and "lol freeze peach" This is why the freedom of speech is important. This is why crtitical discussion is important instead of…

Venues branded by corporations and controlled by billionaire team owners—like Robert Kraft’s Gillette Stadium, home to the New England Patriots—have become a mechanism for censoring political speech.

Give this man the Nobel Peace Prize (for real)!

The old ADL doesn't have a great history either, opposing recognition of the armenian genocide, opposing affirmative action, their feuding with Jewish Voice for Peace, their complicated realtionship with apartheid south africa, and being a big driver of conflating anti-zionism and anti-semetism. I will admit that the ADL absolutely has done good…

He describes the $1M as "net earnings", so that's probably what he's actually pocketing? I am guessing he was going to get $1M net total even if he played the entire tour. I can see his contract having some sorts of clause to assure he'd get the full amount even if his contract was going to be terminated earlier. Also, I can see Ed Sheeran's…

"It has been an excellent 48 hours for Schadenfreude." A good summary of the Sheeran brou-ha-ha for those not following especially closely. Young artists on the way up, walking away from an opportunity to perform in front of stadiums in the US in solidarity with fellow artists standing up against genocide makes my heart sing. The kids are OK. The…

JFC I thought surely what he said was going to be controversial and maybe even a little veiled anti-semitism by the reaction of that guy in charge.

U think macklemore saying something about palestine over a year after genocide make any difference? Im a realist and this did not help even a single palestinians. Us govt is about to sell 40000 bombs to israel. If you want to actually help palestinians, help elect officials that will detach us from israel.
