Rapper Macklemore is a vocal supporter of Palestine and Gaza residents. During a recent concert at MetLife Stadium, he yelled “Free Palestine!” onstage, projected images of devastation in the area, and performed protest song “Hind’s Hall.”

Now, it seems that American venues are not willing to play ball with the Seattle artist, and he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour.

“After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates,” according to Messina Touring Group, the promoter of Loop Tour. This news follows backlash from organizations like StopAntisemitism and others, such as pop star Pink.

      Black n white. Them and us. The only correct ideology - and the renegades.

      These are the prominent features of the fascist ideology. 💁

        Genocide is fascist ideology, “chosen people” is a fascist ideology, what else you don’t understand?

        Some things are black and white though.

        Like rape is bad. If you meet someone’s who refuses to “take a side on the rape debate” then they’re just defacto pro rape.

          Exactly. It’s so convenient to just start calling all men as rapers (because: they have penises!). Thus, all who disagree with this illogical term swap - are “siding with rapers”.

          Like, before the invasion, putin has made all the official national media be spreading anti-nazi and neo-nazi campaign (presenting all ukranians as “nazi”). Thus, putin is not killing the ukranians - he is allegedly “fighting the neo-nazi”. How convenient!

          The same way people who object juggling with the term “genocide” or who refuse to side with the motto “from the river to the sea” (urging to destroy Israel) are readily accused of "supporting genocide”. Also convenient!

          Nah, i’m not buying this “anti-neo-colonial history revisit”. It has a simpler explanation: revanchism.

            Okay, should have checked your accout before I engaged.

            My guy you really need better hobbies than posting troll comments on Lemmy. This is just kinda sad.

              I’ve checked yours too. Here is a reminder (you might appreciate): if you say shit like that, but aren’t israeli youself, then you don’t actually give a shit about palestinians or your government making mistakes in Gaza, you’re just jumping on the bandwagon because it’s cool to hate Israel.

              Sorry (and glad) to disrupt your bubble!

              I’m also amazed at how happily and willfully many in the West fall victims for populists’ agenda and can’t talk like…civilised humans 💁

              Mate, thanks! I have a couple of hobbies already)

            oh there’s a fallacy for this! to make a claim so erogenous in an attempt to make the other person’s point seem objectively bad because it’s ‘connected’ to the bullshit your spewing! :D

              There’s no need to make the other person’s point seem bad - if it’s objectively bad, though.

              Also:

              the bullshit you’RE spewing!

              You are welcome!

                  I’m sure your dumdass didn’t preplan for any mistakes, dumb or funny (sure it was funny, and the following phallusy is a better one) - and it would be nice to hear the real argumentation.

                  So it’s not a phallusy to make a really erotic claim in the hopes of getting my opponent to be negatively associated with my sensuous position?

            Israel should not exist. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. This is a chant to end the supremecist ethno-state and replace it with a state that respects all ethnicities and religions (much like existed before the zionists came to the region).

            Also here’s a reminder that Israel bombed a synagogue in Tehran that is older than zionism.

              You fail to understand not only the genocide (which is happening, but not as the hamass and other populists suggest). You also ignore that you replesent the core issue: the revanchism.

              Would you stop putting your sick fantasies above the value of human lives, please?

              Palestine, just like Teheran (the whole Iran), deserve to be free from vandals and terror fanatics in power, killing palestinians and iranians.

        I’m with you on this. Some folks just have a nuanced position on whether the holocaust was a bad thing. That doesn’t immediately make them an “antisemite” or a “horrible human being”. /s

        How about “Ed Sheeran is a spineless coward who’d rather hoard even more intergenerational wealth than taking a political position”?
