JDPON Robert Kraft, honestly. Macklemore flying the Palestinian flag on stage at an Ed Shereen concert would have been ten times more preferable to these ghouls than what they ended up doing LOL.
For people like Kraft, the cruelty is the point. I would be surprised if he matches.
Even PBS was calling out Kraft over his bullshit “Antisemitism” by accurately pointing out he didn’t cancel Kanye concerts.
The promotional material for the Kanye shows even included a line about his “admiration for Hitler.” Not antisemitic by any current definition, apparently.
Ah, thats a very good point. Fuck this guy fr.
He matched (and might have doubled but can’t remember) with some vague “donation to the region”
That alone makes me think it went to whatever the fuck trump wants to build in Gaza
He’ll probably match with a donation to the IDF.
Or to some frothing-at-the mouth settler org.
Damn he really gonna make me listen to his music
I hadn’t heard of his name until this situation so I gave him a listen. He’s one of those artists where even if you don’t know their name you’ve probably heard at least one of their songs in passing. I’ve definitely heard at least a couple of these before.
He was inescapable in the mid-2010s. I honestly thought he had retired because I didn’t listen to anything new by him, except for the song he wrote about Hind Rajab.
There’s a second one that’s also very good. It’s a collaboration with some Palestinian artists.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
You want to support a musician these days, you gotta buy merch
I feel like he would say to save the merch money and donate it to Palestinians instead.
I really was not expecting Macklemore to be this cool. I thought he would be like a Vanilla Ice type lol
He’s from Seatle, In 2020 during the protests I was like “where’s Macklemore at? Why hasn’t he said anything about the racist Seattle police or been at protests?” He came out with a song about it after a few months and I thought maybe he was a poser. Lately I’m thinking he could have been there in black and a mask like a lot of people, maybe he actually is for real?

He came out with this song of all things in 2005 lol. It kind of got buried and went unnoticed in his career blow up, but there were signs even then.
the very definition of a quirked up white boy
Where’s the Macklemore apology card
