[theqoo] THE ED SHEERAN + MACKLEMORE + PINK AFFAIR CAUSING A STIR IN HOLLYWOOD
Ed Sheeran held a concert in New Jersey
Macklemore opened the show
Who is Macklemore? This is his most famous song
(You guys might know this song, or you might not.)
However, Macklemore shouted “Free Palestine” during his performance
He passionately performed “Hind’s Hall,” a song that references the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and criticizes Israel’s military actions
(He also reportedly made it clear that he loves his Jewish brothers and sisters, and that criticizing Israel is not the same as criticizing Jewish people)
In response, the Israeli-American Council (IAC) demanded that Ed Sheeran drop Macklemore from the remainder of his tour, arguing that the concert was not a political rally
Macklemore clarified that his remarks were not an attack on Jewish people but a message advocating for human rights and peace
Ed Sheeran has not issued an official statement
But then, out of nowhere, Pink got involved…?
She shared a post on her Instagram a post from an Israeli group that essentially said, “Let’s protest against Ed Sheeran, demand ticket refunds, and force Macklemore to issue an official apology!”
The post also claimed that the massacre in Gaza was entirely fake and urged people not to be swayed by propaganda
It seems she was sharing videos by influencers promoting Zionist propaganda a few years back too
Pink is Jewish
This caused quite a stir more than expected
And then, Pink posted something like this again
In the midst of this, artists have also come forward to support Pink (e.g., Boy George)
Macklemore posted on Instagram,
1. Freaking disappointed in Pink. I support Macklemore
2. Pink is such a turn off
3. I didn’t know Pink was Jewish? Seriously Zionists are so disgusting
4. Macklemore is courageous
5. Why is she denying the truth?
6. So disappointed in Pink
7. So Pink is someone like that… Wow
8. It’s my first time learning Pink is Jewish. She sucks
9. Wow Pink is a turn off
10. Pink is crazy, it’s my first time learning about this… Macklemore is cool as always
