One wishes it didn't have to come to this for people to understand how bad so many things, and people, have become.
Pink says speaking up for Jewish people has proved “lonelier” than she expected after she faced backlash for sharing criticism of Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian performance at Ed Sheeran’s September 4 concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Macklemore shouted “Free Palestine,” accused Israel of genocide and performed his protest song “Hind’s Hall,” accompanied by images from the war.
Pink responded: “You don’t get to decide that for us.”
“What I need is to be able to say, as a Jewish mom, ‘That scared me, and it scared people I love,’ without being told our fear is just propaganda,” she wrote.
Pink, who has previously spoken publicly about experiencing antisemitism, said: “And now I’m standing up for my own people, and I thought I knew going in how lonely that would be. And it’s lonelier than that. But I’m doing it anyway.”
