Re Macklemore "We must keep prising the fingers of the billionaire class off our throats until it is only the discredited & morally bankrupt who refuse to speak loudly in opposition to genocide." During 3 years of Israel's genocide in Gaza, "the corporate world has maintained its grip over the West’s cultural spaces in part to conceal its own complicity in those crimes." https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2026-09-17/ed-sheeran-pimped-billionaires-genocide/ #USPol #EUPol #EdSheeran #Macklemore #FascistBillionaires #gazaGenocide #palestine #Gaza #news .

So, I've stayed out of the whole #Sheeran / #Macklemore situation because I honestly don't think I could have picked either of them out of a lineup. But as it's escalated, and people are choosing sides, we need to talk about something it has illuminated so brightly it cannot be ignored. #Zionism. And why we need to talk about it is because there is a difference between it and #Judaism, and people on many sides, for many political reasons, are trying to make the two synonymous in the zeitgeist. I am antizionist. I am not anti-Jewish people or faith practices. There is a clear, undeniable genocide happening in #Palestine. We can all see it. We have allowed Israel to cage a group of people and systematically murder them. All so #Israel can have their rivers, their oil, their beaches. We cannot do much, we have very little power. But we have the truth. And ethics demand that we speak it. #FreePalestine from the river to the sea. And donate to the WCK: https://wck.org/relief/chefs-for-gaza/

Agi: Cosa è successo tra Ed Sheeran e Macklemore? La star parla di Gaza dal palco: "Dispiaciuto... AGI - La popstar Ed Sheeran ha dichiarato che la situazione a Gaza e' "ingiustificabile", in seguito a un'ondata di critiche che lo ha travolto per non aver sostenuto le dichiarazioni pro-palestinesi del rapper Macklemore, che apriva i suoi concerti. "Cio' che sta accadendo a Gaza e' catastrofico, ingiustificabile e sproporzionato", ha affermato il cantante britannico, aprendo il suo spettacolo a Philadelphia senza Macklemore, escluso dal 'Loop Tour' dopo aver gridato "Palestina libera" durante un concerto nel New Jersey all'inizio del mese. "Ho dovuto prendere decisioni difficili, sto commettendo degli errori e mi dispiace immensamente", ha aggiunto Sheeran visibilmente commosso. Lo stop al silenzio sul conflitto e le parole per la Cisgiordania Sheeran, che finora aveva mantenuto una posizione apolitica sul conflitto israelo-palestinese, ha rotto il silenzio e ha denunciato "cuori spezzati dall'entita' della devastazione e dalla perdita di vite civili, di bambini". "Inoltre, l'ingiustizia sistemica a cui stiamo assistendo in Cisgiordania non puo' essere ignorata", ha aggiunto dal palco a Philadelphia, nel primo concerto dopo la controversia che ha visto coinvolto Macklemore. Le proteste dei fan e l'appello al boicottaggio del tour Sheeran e' stato criticato per non essersi opposto all'allontanamento del rapper dopo che aveva gridato "Palestina libera" durante uno spettacolo precedente, finendo nel mirino dei sostenitori pro-Palestina che hanno lanciato appelli al suo boicottaggio. Alcune decine di dimostranti hanno organizzato un presidio pacifico fuori dal Lincoln Financial Field prima dello spettacolo, sventolando bandiere palestinesi e scandendo lo slogan "Palestina libera". Alcuni fan diretti allo stadio hanno ammesso di aver esitato a partecipare a causa della controversia, ma alla fine hanno deciso di esserci e godersi la musica; altri, invece, hanno cambiato i loro piani. "Estendiamo il nostro appello al boicottaggio dell'intero tour mondiale di Ed Sheeran, incluse le prossime date in America Latina e la tappa europea non ancora annunciata", ha affermato la Campagna palestinese per il boicottaggio accademico e culturale di Israele (Pacbi). What happened between Ed Sheeran and Macklemore? The star speaks of Gaza from the stage: “Sorry…” Ed Sheeran has stated that the situation in Gaza is “unjustifiable,” following a wave of criticism for not supporting pro-Palestinian statements made by rapper Macklemore, who opened his concerts. “What is happening in Gaza is catastrophic, unjustifiable and disproportionate,” said the British singer, opening his show in Philadelphia without Macklemore, who was excluded from the ‘Loop Tour’ after shouting “Free Palestine” during a concert in New Jersey at the beginning of the month. “I had to make difficult decisions, I am making mistakes and I sincerely apologize.” Sheeran added, visibly moved. Silence on the conflict and words for the West Bank Sheeran, who until now had maintained an apolitical stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, broke his silence and denounced “hearts broken by the scale of the devastation and the loss of civilian lives, of children.” “Furthermore, the systemic injustice we are witnessing in the West Bank cannot be ignored,” he added from the stage in Philadelphia, in the first concert after the controversy involving Macklemore. Protests from fans and a call for a boycott of the tour Sheeran was criticized for not opposing Macklemore’s dismissal after he shouted “Free Palestine” during a previous performance, coming under fire from pro-Palestinian supporters who launched calls to boycott him. Several dozen protesters organized a peaceful demonstration outside Lincoln Financial Field before the show, waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Free Palestine.” Some fans attending the stadium admitted to hesitating to participate due to the controversy, but ultimately decided to be there and enjoy the music; others, however, changed their plans. “We extend our call for a boycott of Ed Sheeran’s entire world tour, including upcoming dates in Latin America and the yet-to-be announced European stop,” said the Palestinian Campaign Boycott Academic and Cultural Institutions of Israel (Pacbi). #EdSheeran #Macklemore #pro-Palestinian #British #Philadelphia #the‘LoopTour’ #FreePalestine #NewJersey #Sheeran #Israeli #theWestBank #first #Palestinian #LatinAmerica #European #Pacbi https://www.agi.it/estero/news/2026-09-20/cosa-e-successo-ed-sheeran-macklemore-gaza-39147736/

I gotta say: I had not been a fan of #macklemore previously. I am old and not really into that sort of music frankly. But that has changed. And it has nothing to do with his music. Anytime a successful performing artist - in any field or genre - risks it all by standing up to #Fascism, #Racism #hate #murder and #war on #Children - by making very public statements - they know will likely damage ticket sales.... count me in. Big #fan now. I may go buy some #Macklemore stuff online ....

"Macklemore’s "Hind’s Hall" hits iTunes top 10 after removal from Ed Sheeran tour The chart surge came after intense public focus surrounding Macklemore removal as an opening act on Ed Sheeran’s North American stadium tour. Several high-profile opening acts, including Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham, and Beoga, withdrew from the tour in solidarity, sparking a broader industry debate over political expression on major concert stages. Rapper Macklemore’s protest anthem "Hind’s Hall" has surged into the top 10 on the US iTunes singles chart, propelled by a viral wave of streaming and public interest following his controversial removal from Ed Sheeran’s North American stadium tour. The track, which was released independently in May 2024 with all streaming proceeds pledged to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), has re-entered mainstream music charts as debates over political speech on major concert stages intensify. The track serves as a direct, anti-war anthem written in support of global university campus demonstrations calling for an immediate ceasefire and institutional divestment from ‘Israel’ amid the ongoing aggression in Gaza. The title references two key symbols of the protest movement: Hamilton Hall / Hind's Hall: The iconic building at Columbia University in New York City that was occupied by student protesters and symbolically renamed "Hind's Hall". Hind Rajab: The song honors Hind Rajab, a six-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed by 'Israeli' military fire in Gaza while trapped in a vehicle alongside deceased family members while awaiting emergency responders, who were also killed. The sudden chart revival follows Macklemore's removal from the remaining opening slots on Ed Sheeran’s "The Loop" North American tour." .,,..,,. https://en.royanews.tv/news/73743/Macklemore%E2%80%99s-%22Hind%E2%80%99s-Hall%22-hits-iTunes-top-10-after-removal-from-Ed-Sheeran-tour #HindRajab #gaza #genocide #music #Macklemore

Macklemore has announced he is donating his $1 million net earnings from the Ed Sheeran tour to organizations that support the Palestinian people. The rapper, who was dropped from Sheeran's tour at the behest of billionaire Robert Kraft, urged Kraft to match his donation. “With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom," he wrote in a new Instagram post. https://flip.it/AUDnef  #Palestine #Macklemore #EdSheeran

So Mr Ed claims in a statement that he's apolitical but about 10 seconds later, there was tons of responses about his overwhelming support for Ukraine and he even recorded a song with Bono about the war! Sheeran features on the second verse of "Yours Eternally," a song inspired by Ukrainian soldier and musician Taras Topolia. #freepalesti̇ne #fuckIsreal #fromtherivertothesea #palestine #israeliWarCrimes #KickThemOut #EdSheeran #Macklemore
