Rapper Macklemore is a vocal supporter of Palestine and Gaza residents. During a recent concert at MetLife Stadium, he yelled “Free Palestine!” onstage, projected images of devastation in the area, and performed protest song “Hind’s Hall.”

Now, it seems that American venues are not willing to play ball with the Seattle artist, and he has been dropped from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour.

“After discussions with stakeholders, Macklemore will not be performing on the remaining support dates,” according to Messina Touring Group, the promoter of Loop Tour. This news follows backlash from organizations like StopAntisemitism and others, such as pop star Pink.

    It’s actually directly relevant and I think Glytch is catching OP’s strays - by showing exactly what dozenyear old “scandal” the troll OP is referencing. I think everyone thought Glytch was trying to prove Mr ‘lemore is a current antisemite.

    Everyone is on edge. Unrelatedly, grace is a really lovely concept that is truly humanist; the golden rule in action.
