The Palestine thread

[Baile Brigín 2]

f**k Sheeran, he's taken the easy way out. Hope Macklemore takes the lot of them to court and wins

Wins what though? if you have signed an agreement that says your are not to shout a slogan during your time on stage then you aint winning shit.. Again I've no clue how these contracts are done but with todays climate and various other singers that have had issues, there will probably be something to cover that..

He'll have soured his popularity for sure, coming near the end for him musically too I feel, hasn't really brought out as good as songs he's done in the past

Has he signed that? You are the first person I have seen claim Macklemore did such a thing

I posted, IF, who knows?  but it doesn't stop people speculating

You are speculating.

Sheeran got bullied and blinked. End of.

People as in people on here including me.

Probably, most likely bullied by a multi billionaire.. I wasn't there and neither were you though so, still speculating

I'm going with what Macklemore said happened and Kraft agreeing with his version.

You, as you say, are making stuff up.

Kraft says he wants peace and bans Macklemore. Only one narrative is tolerated by the Zionists.

The thing here that is most problematic is we are told antisemitism is on the rise, and it probably is.

Then along comes a Jewish billionaire, who is in the Epstein files and currently being prosecuted for sex stuff, who manoeuvred behind the scenes to bully a singer into silence for criticism of Isreal.

There is a lot of your base antisemitic tropes in one story here, isn't there.

Aaron Rowe, Beoga and Finneas have all pulled out of the tour now

Can't say I know any of those but fair play

Inevitable to be honest,  Beoga are huge supporters of Palestine and knowing them personally this would have been an easy decision from a conscience perspective.  They are good friends with Ed Sheeran and this will have hurt them as while they may say they will continue to be friends they will struggle to remain objective on this long term.

Sheeran reportedly lost nearly 100,000 Instagram followers amid backlash after Macklemore was dropped from tour dates following his pro-Palestine remarks

Sheeran is too big to be cancelled but he should be finished in Ireland.

Some Israeli bot farm will top them up soon enough.

Dolly was smart not to get involved in any politics.

Sheeran is supposedly worth £370 million. [Sunday Times Rich List]

He has a lot to lose and I think youd find if he became an antisemite he would lose most of it.

What the absolute flying f**k are you on about? MR2 responded to another poster banging on cluelessly about Macklemore taking legal action. The point was clear that we've no idea what is in any of the many contracts between the many parties involved, so any discussion of such would be, yes, complete and utter pointless speculation.

I've less than zero interest in Sheeran, but anyone kidding themselves that we Irish are all so noble and just that we'd not put up with Sheeran over this is deluded. He'd sell out 10 straight nights in Croker if they'd let him. And the GAA would if they could get the licence.
