Didn’t they all leave in support of Palestine?
macklemore was booted from the tour for making pro-palestine comments at one of the shows.
I’m aware, but as Macklemore’s own statement said, he is not a victim. I would hope the acts that quit did so in support of Palestine, not Macklemore.
Well, they kinda drew a line in the sand. Now, if you stay on tour, youre pro isreal by default. This is how lines are drawn
Funny thing is, it was Kraft who drew the line and caused this whole thing. And everyone but sheeran stepped right over his line. it really highlights how much the US isnt buying the zionists BS narrative anymore.
Not necessarily, which is why I hope the quit in support of Palestine.
Being pro-Macklemore ≠ pro-Palestine and from what I recall about the statements each posted they were very carefully worded.
I’ll never fault anyone for doing the right thing, even if it’s for the wrong reasons, but I’ll always be sceptical of the motivations of public figures in these situations.
