Macklemore claimed Monday the Jewish NFL owner Robert Kraft pressured Ed Sheeran to drop him from his tour after pro-Palestinian elements of his show.

“Ed told me Robert Kraft called him,” Macklemore wrote on X Monday. “We were scheduled to play Gillette Stadium later this month, which is owned by the Kraft group. Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium.”

“Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues,” he added.

NY Post is, as always, a garbage propaganda rag. Macklemore's statement explicitly says, "I am not a victim," and does not mention Kraft's Jewish identity at all.

Note that these same studio owners have had no problem hosting Kanye West after he literally said, "Heil Hitler." This is because antizionism is a much bigger problem for the powers that be than actual antisemitism is. It's unfortunate that OP won't see that on account of blocking me for saying that, because this just goes to show my position was correct.

The ruling class only cares if people are opposed to Israel, whether people hate Jews is negotiable.
