He could easily fix this by ending his both sides bullshit, but he won't. Lib Zionists are stuck in a rut. They have a circular idealist worldview where all sides are equals, clashing, it's all so complex. Nothing material can dislodge this because it's not based in any material understanding.

On a certain level I could definitely be convinced that Ed Sheeran is just totally politically oblivious and doesn't understand the gravity of this issue. The kind of stuff he's saying was maybe a common viewpoint like 10-15 years ago, which might be the last time he actually engaged with politics.

That said, ignorance isn't an excuse, and he's a dipshit either way.

it was the common viewpoint until 2023, but anybody still ignorant at this point is just an eternal ignoramus incapable of learning on their own.

He's not ignorant, he doesn't want to admit to being in the zionist camp.
