MACKLEMORE: DROPPED FROM ED SHEERAN TOUR AFTER SUPPORTING PALESTINE

 If you're a metal head you've probably never heard of rapper MACKLEMORE. ITP's author doesn't know much about his music either. . However, in the metal scene,you will be hearing from ED SHEERAN as he is due for a collaboration with British, gothic, black metal warriors CRADLE OF FILTH. 

 

After a pretty tame pro Palestinian speech at New Jersey's MET LIFE STADIUM, New England Patriots owner ROBERT KRAFT banned MACKLEMORE from GILLETTE STADIUM (BOSTON) and organized a boycott of other U.S.A.  stadiums..ED SHEERAN was forced to kick  MACKLEMORE off the bill. 

 

ITP V.026 EDITORS NOTE: Sounds like censorship to me. I saw the video for  MACKLEMORE's speech in New Jersey, nothing anti Semitic was said. 

 wow. I don't even listen to hip hop and barely know this artist. He didn't say anything anti Semitic. Unfortunately, post holocaust, Israel has done to Palestinians what the Nazis did to the Jews. It's possible to support Jewish safety and the Palestinian people without supporting terrorism.

I'm disappointed in the leadership in Israel and Palestine. Apartheid needs to end and Israel and Palestine must learn to live together in peace.  

Support of the people of Palestine does not automatically make one antisemitic.  

 

 

 

FROM CONSEQUENCE: 

 Patriots owner Bob Kraft has released a statement addressing his decision to block Macklemore from performing with Ed Sheeran at Gillette Stadium, a move that ultimately led Sheeran to drop Macklemore from his tour.
