Macklemore is donating his entire $1 million salary from Ed Sheeran's tour to organizations supporting Palestine and is inviting Robert Kraft, who blocked him from performing at Gillette Stadium, to match the donation. “Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth. That is what this has always been about. Not me. Not a tour. Not the headlines or the controversy. It is about Palestinians right to freedom, dignity and safety in their own homeland. I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in. I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine. Their risk is of a far different order than mine. Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free. That is where my focus will remain. I will continue to stand with the Palestinian people and their fight for liberation. When the news cycle moves on, which it will, don't move with it. variety.com/2026/music/news/…

No anti Israel type admit that the non Muslim "infidels" of the Middle East exist Or that "infidels" have rights The infidel Christians Hindus and Yazidis have all been persecuted or killed off They're after the Jews like all the other infidels We do exist And We have rights

Macklemore has quoted "from the river to the sea.." He supports terrorism against Jews. The man is an antisemite. He should not be surprised that adults want nothing to do with him.

@patriots Listen Mr. Kraft. Just because someone supports the Palestinian people does not make them antisemitic. Got it. And killing 50,000 innocents in Gaza is a war crime. And Bibi is a war criminal. People stating that does not make them antisemitic. People can still support Israel but hate their leaders and policies. Just like I can love America and hate Trump. Think about that.

Hey @macklemore, serious question: You’re willing to use your stage in the US to speak passionately for Palestinians. Would you also perform in Lebanon, play “Same Love”, and use that same stage to speak just as passionately for LGBTQ rights? Same artist. Same principles. Different audience. Would you do it? 👀

Why doesn’t this “Macklemore” donate to United States causes , to fight homelessness or cancer or 1000 other causes . What fucking connection does he have to “Palestine”? He doesn’t even know where it is on a map and he’s fed Hamas propaganda about “genocide” . Hamas can surrender

It’s like Macklemore has no clue how Hamas steals the aid meant for people. The press doesn’t question anything on how he formed his opinion and where he gets his information. He doesn’t seem very informed on the history of the region.

He should do the same for Nigeria, Sudan and Congo or is just selective who's lives matter.

The Middle East has had a fucking OCEAN of time to figure out the beefs between them all. It’s all he said/she said at this point. No one can go back and explain to me who’s at fault when they all just point fingers.

So is he going to go to Gaza with his million dollars and hand it to Hamas in person or have it funnel through their channels first?

Turn you concert into an antisemitic free palestine rally and then give Palestinians $1M so Hamas can take it and kill more people. And you wonder why the Jewish stadium owner does not want you there.

Are you kidding me? @macklemore is donating to “groups supporting Palestinians” (aka—terrorist organizations). @macklemore is so disingenuous. Just look at his antisemitic antics. But he is also a dangerous fool. He is a prime example of how great Hamas is at peddling propaganda. Hamas is probably even surprised by how swimmingly their propaganda campaign is going. I am sure they didn’t even expect this level of stupidity. First of all—@macklemore’s sanctimonious screed fails to even mention Hamas, who has used civilians as human shields and has burrowed beneath schools and hospitals. Second of all—Israel has gone out of its way for decades- to help Arabs in Gaza through providing humanitarian aid and alerting civilians when military operations are about to take place. Meanwhile, many civilians in Gaza helped hide and torture Israeli hostages. Third of all—for decades, Israel took care of the people in Gaza by providing medical aid, infrastructure, clean water, job opportunities, and a great quality of life - far better than anywhere else in the region. And what did Israel get in return? A huge F-U- with constant terrorist attacks perpetrated against them, and now, to make matters worse, they are being treated to useful idiots buying into Hamas bullshit. @RobertKrafts @Patriots

Not invite, blackmail. If you compel someone by public pressure to do something that he doesn't want to do and this leads to a financial loss, it is called a criminal act of blackmail. The fact if the blackmail was for a good cause is not relevant before the bench.

So he's basically just donating a million dollars to Hamas which will be used to attack Israel and possibly other Western targets....

These donations do not meaningfully address the underlying causes of Palestinian suffering. If every “Free Palestine” advocate demanded that Hamas surrender and that the Palestinian Authority end payments tied to terrorism, that pressure could do far more to improve Palestinian lives. Until then, much of this amounts to virtue smoke signals.

Palestinians have far better access to healthcare, food and education than any country in Africa. In fact I would say they have these things at the expense of every country in Africa. For 80 years Palestinians have been violent bad actors. Dominating the peacekeeping and aid space through their absolute refusal to sign ✍️ for peace ☮️
