It's not brave. It's just the right thing to do. It's bot against the grain, it's what everybody should be.
And yet you still have powerful people trying to silence it. So it needs to keep being said until they and esp. politicians finally get that they can't do that anymore.
I want to be exceedingly clear about this and then I’m done with it.
Tell me again how it’s brave and against them grain to be Pro Palestine and life is so hard if you dare speak against the Israelis and Jews.
Macklemore lost an opening tour spot. And in return has generated more positive attention for himself than that tour would have given him and more positive attention than he has had in years. Plus the income from social media and no doubt new financial prosperous endeavors opened specifically because of his anti Israel pro Palestine stance.
Ed Sheeran in the other hand, loses all opening acts, loses his band, gets dragged on social media, radio stations refuse to play his music. Which no doubt leads to a huge financial hit. And we’re not even done yet. Doors will be closed to him, friendships will be lost, the list goes on.
So, tell me again how it’s brave to be anti Israel and pro Palestine.
