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.

Didn't know Ed Sheeran was a zionist but now at least I have a better reason to hate him other than "I think his music is boring"

He’s “apolitical” and found, after talking to people (Zionist pissbabies), that Macklemore’s remarks wer perceived as very hurtful to their genocidal feelings. He thus immediately caved to whatever opinion is in power and therefore did what “apolitical” people always do.

Honestly, I believe Ed Sheeran is simply too stupid and, in the original sense of the word, idiotic to form any opinion on a genocide that doesn’t involve his immediate personal environment.

To give a slightly deeper insight into Ed Sheeran’s sheer vapidity and stupidity, I recommend listening to the song/reading the lyrics of his song “What do I know?”. The question in the title can firmly be answered with “fuck all”.
