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

Here is Macklemore dressed in ‘Jew Face’ doing a Nazi salute.

Fuck him.

Oh come on!
People don't want to know that he's actually a nasty little Jew hater.

Genuinely, I haven't kept up with her since she was 12 years old, "voice of an angel" and all that. Is this a Kanye West bipolar disorder situation? If so, she really shouldn't be performing.

If not, she must be on drugs. "We're coming to get you, Ed!"

Yikes.

I haven’t watched but that line is bad enough.

I just don't understand the cult of Gaza and how it's became the ultimate trend for the bored middle classes. This pretence that artists who support Gaza are 'so brave' is just ridiculous. They are clearly just jumping on the fashionable band wagon. And don't get me started on the Queers for Palestine!!

Oh it’s ridiculous, totally agree, trendy people shouting free Palestine , most would be locked up if they dared to live there, see how free it is then.

Gay people punishable by death, non existent woman’s rights but let’s all shout about making
it “ free”
Instead what they should be shouting about is freeing it from Hamas.

Wonder who 'We' is in this context. Kind of frightening.

There were some pro-Palestinian students protesting outside my workplace last year (I work at a Uni) and they were asking people to sign a petition to 'keep Zionists out of the University'. I obviously said no thank you and then they ASKED MY NAME so I could be added to some list they were keeping of refusals? No thanks. Kind of horrifying to think what that list would be for really.

Horrible little fascists

Paloma Faith jumping on the bandwagon now though kinder towards ES.

Paloma tells her children every night Free Palestine

the sacrifices these musicians and artists are making for peace in the Middle East is truly astounding I can only stand back and admire their bravery

If I was a Christian in Sudan or an ethnic minority in China I'd be quite pxssed off that the pop-stars only care about Gaza. I'd be thinking 'What the hell, what about me, I'm being persecuted and none of these pop-stars give a damn'.

Would be quite bewildering for anyone who doesn’t understand the Western tendency to adopt fashionable causes & ignore others.

Yes, totally.

I wish it was like the 80s and 90s. Back then the fashionable cause was anti-apartheid and some pop-stars were involved in that. I remember Elton John got a bit of flak because he performed in South Africa. If that was now, he'd probably be pelted with stones, banished to a small island and all his records destroyed. Crazy times we live in.

There's a horrible goady thread in AIBU, about where Jews were born.

So Macklemore is set to launch a Free Palestine tour. Is this the equivalent of a counter protest but on a bigger scale? No wonder the virtue signaller is happy to part with one million. Plenty more where that came from. All performative.

Pretty amazing he managed to get that organized in less than a week.

Selling tickets apparently via Ticketmaster. Any artist with any discretion and principles would not use them.
