I don’t have to blame Ed for the situation to recognize that he’s complicit. Saying nothing about Palestine only helps Israel. The attempt to make the shows apolitical is fruitless and ignorant. He may not be the one to silence Macklemore, but he finds it acceptable. No matter what he thinks he’s doing, he’s supporting Israel.
You’re just completely fucking incapable of seeing the value in that? It totally escapes your grasp and you somehow think that means he supports Israel
He accepted Macklemore’s request to join, for the stated reason of artistic merit
Knowing he’d say what he said
Absolutely no evidence of that
that means he supports Israel
I never claimed to know how he feels about the situation. What I said was that the actions he’s taking (or lack thereof) support Israel. That is true regardless of whatever he feels about the situation
I’m not pop culture pilled enough to know much beyond Thrift Shop and I have no clue what you’re saying with the Charlie Murphy comment.
Though if Macklemore had just done the pro Palestine songs without specifically yelling “free Palestine” to the crowd, then I don’t think anything would’ve happened. Not giving any excuses, just theorizing that the moneyed interests are less concerned about activist language when it’s masked by art. They more fear the explicit calls to action that leave little room for interpretation.

He is the one that got Macklemore on stage…
Knowing he’d say what he said…
You don’t think that was beneficial?

What the actual fuck is wrong with people?

Name any two songs he’s made in the last five years besides Hinds Hall and Hinds Hall 2…
