Ed Sheeran/Macklemore

[WallyHilloughby]

what are your thoughts on this whole debacle?
quite frankly I’m sick and tired of artists using concerts etc as some political forum

@NancyThompson
You console yourself with those thoughts while Israel continue to bomb children in tents.

You console yourself with being a social justice warrior that conveniently happens to hate the only Jewish-majority country on earth.

Ed Sheeran has properly f'd this up.
Artists get it wrong sometimes. Queen did when they went and played South Africa at the height of apartheid. He’s in it for the money. Tight af as well.

You said October 7th was retaliation. Maybe bombing children in tents is too.

@NancyThompson I am proud to fight for social justice, so that is a badge of honour thanks. I do not hate Jews, so do not hide behind that slur. I do hate Zionism, a big difference. Thousands of Jews worldwide are againsts the actions of Israel .

@stargirl27 Telling someone not to have kids because they disagree with you. That's low.

"I don't hate Jews.

I just hate when they believe they have a right to a homeland in the place where their tribe originated."

Doesn't sound great tbh.

So you hate the majority of Jews.

Zionism is just a belief in the the right for Israel to exist as a Jewish homeland. Which the majority of Jews worldwide do support. So that's who you hate - most Jews. What a badge of honour.

Why do you hate Zionism? Do you think Jews shouldn't have a homeland?

She said that she hates Zionism not Zionists. I hate the Catholic Church, I don't hate all Catholics. You can hate the belief without hating those who believe it.

It’s very selective the hatred of Zionism, which is why many wonder whether it’s underpinned by something sinister. Do any of these people hate the idea of Pakistan existing independently from India? Or hate the imperialism of the Saudis? Or a united Ireland? Why is it only Zionism they hate?

So she hates the idea that there should be a Jewish state so that Jews have someone they can be safe. Yeah that sounds loads better.

She hate the belief that Jewish people should have a homeland.

Vile antisemitic man so I’m glad he’s been dropped.

Well now - plenty have hated the notion of a United Ireland! I thought that was well publicized - having you been living under a stone for the last 120 years?

This Catholic church one actually often comes up as an example.
I wonder if someone went to a strict Islamic country and announced loud and proud that they just hated Islam, not Muslims, would the authorities see the nuance?

I must have been because I missed the mass cancellation and social media hysteria towards anyone supporting a united Ireland.

Please do not speak on behalf of Jews.

Please learn about what actually is zionism and stop equating it to political thinking. Even better don't speak on a subject until you learn about ot in general.

Please don't use Jewish people as a way to find some purpose to your life or make yourself feel more superior than others.

Please don't tell Jews what other Jews think about Israel. The subject is far to complicated for outsider to understand because about Jewish identity and the very complicated Jewish relationship with their own people. Quite frankly some Jews don't understand this so non Jews just don't get it.

Yep she doesn't hate Jews

She just hates Jews that to be safe from persecution, death, not live as second class citizens under Islam and what to be able to live freely as Jews. The meaning of zionism.

Definitely not a Jew hater at all

I have no idea who you are, and have no intention of letting you tell me what I can or can't say.
Likewise you have no idea who I am.

I wouldn't know tbh. I don't 'hate' Zionism. I stand by people's right to express their feelings about various beliefs though.

Questions have to be asked about why Ed would word with this guy

Ed obviously not such a nice person himself then

Nobody with any morals would touch this guy with a barge pole.

Racism and prejudice like Jewface is never OK. The fact that Ed's people didn't advice him against working with this guy or Ed didn't refuse to work with him is a sign of just how acceptable Jew hate has become again in our society. Palestinianism as a cause is a riot that will destroy our society and idiots around the world will continue to support this riot because they lack basic critical thinking skills or they actually want the riots to happen to further their own ideology.

Mass cancellation and social media hysteria - well now if we only had to fight that, we'd have been on the pig's back!
