Macklemore says Robert Kraft led the effort to kick him off Ed Sheeran’s tour. In case you don’t know the story about the 5 yr old the IDF killed that Macklemore named his song “Hind’s Hall” after, watch this. No wonder Zionists want to shut him up.

Paloma Faith exposed Ed Sheeran’s neutrality lie and his pandering to Ziønist pressure. “I played a concert with Ed Sheeran to raise money for Ukraine, so he wasn’t apolitical by doing that. I don’t really understand why one felt more political than the other.” There it is. Ukraine: take a political stand.Palestine: suddenly become “apolitical.” Macklemore said “Free Palestine.” Ed Sheeran clearly doesn’t want to hurt the feelings of Ziønist billionaire Robert Kraft, Netanyahu’s friend, who helped orchestrate the whole cancellation of Macklemore. Politics were never the problem. Palestine was.

🚨 BREAKING: Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour after saying "Free Palestine" at MetLife Stadium. Macklemore says Robert Kraft called Sheeran and rallied other stadium owners to issue an ultimatum: Drop him or lose the venues. Macklemore's view: If Ed Sheeran's tour was the biggest platform I've ever had, and those words got me dropped, but brought the conversation back to Palestine — it was the most successful tour I've ever done. He says Sheeran told him "Free Palestine" was "hurtful to a lot of people he had spoken to." Macklemore replied that there is no neutral position "between the oppressor and the oppressed." 7 or 8 stadium dates were canceled. Neither Kraft nor Sheeran confirmed or denied the ultimatum.

Tucker Carlson: "Macklemore was canceled by Robert Kraft. Fox News framed it as the audience's decision-dishonest. The audience was cheering 'Free Palestine.' One billionaire made the call. Then he lined up other billionaires and said: 'We can't let this guy perform.' This is censorship by the billionaire Epstein class."
