[briantrumpet]

Macklemoore didn't name Israel. Just Palesting, Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon, Cuba,etc.

Macklemore did explicitly say in no way is a criticism" of Jewish people.

Hmm, OK. Maybe Sheeran and the stadium owners cutting their losses by being hypocrites then.

I don't think anyone is concerned about the musical content of his performances, just about the effect of his political non-political stance on Gaza and, more importantly, his mercenary chucking of wotsisname under a bus, rather than sticking up for his right to express in moderate terms his opinions (as the rest of his co-stars did).
