Props to Rapper MacKlemore....FREE PALESTINE!!!

Posted by noting gm on 9/16/2026, 6:44 am

It is amazing that we've gotten to the point where saying Free Palestine is now considered antisemitic and will get you banned from performing in certain event stadiums, in particular venues owned by radical Zionist like Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots.
This is what happened to Rapper Mackelmore who during his performance as an opening act for singer Ed Sheeran declared FREE PALESTINE!

😆🤣..well, that was enough to get him censored & banned from Kraft's stadium(Gillette stadium?) and other venues pressured by Kraft. Wat Da Fuc?!!

BIG PROPS TO RAPPER MACKLEMORE👏 👏 👏
And here I go, FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Shame on you Ed. You hide behind promoters and logistics, claiming you don't want to be drawn into a public discussion. But in a crisis, silence is a side. Rock and roll isn't about playing it safe to protect a stadium tour or corporate interest; it’s about standing up when the system tries to silence the oppressed. Rock and Roll, the music you claim to play, is built on an attitude of defiance, freedom, and raw energy. By letting your promoters muzzle Macklemore while your other openers had the guts to walk away, you didn't preserve neutrality—you chose compliance.

gm, you are spot on. I love this quote from the Danish pop band Lukas Graham: "Nobody's bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we're allowed to acknowledge."

Macklemore's Complete Speech

Posted by maestro on 9/18/2026, 7:19 am, in reply to "Fans demand refund! refund! refund! refund! Messy shit....Nt"

For all the people who have not actually seen or read the speech that led Robert Kraft to demand that Macklemore be removed from the Sheeran tour, this is it:

"I've been trying to figure out a way to say this all day. One of the reasons why I wanted to come on this tour was because I wanted to stand up here on stages and stadiums across America and say two words that are very near and dear to my heart: Free Palestine!
"I said, Free Palestine!
“I want those words to be loud and clear, so the people from Gaza, all the way to the occupied West Bank, know that we have not forgotten them.
"And this next song was inspired by the bravery of Columbia University students who led an encampment movement that mobilized the entire world; opened up hearts, myself included. So thank you to those students that risked their diplomas, that risked their tuition, that risked their scholarships, that stood up and said, no. CUAD students, Students for Justice in Palestine, and Jewish Voices for Peace. Thank you, guys.
“To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters: criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you. My message is for peace, love, for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality.
“So I say Free Palestine! I say Free Lebanon! I say Free Cuba! I say Free Congo! Free Sudan! I say Free all people in America living in fear of this terrorist organization, ICE! None of us will be free until we are all free."

I have always felt that maybe the Zionist $billionaires did not read the speech before reacting so foolishly to the term Free Palestine.
And it's so maddening that there are folks out there who want Free Palestine to be labeled an antisemitic term. Are they fucccing crazy?!! That's like saying Free South AFrica or Free Mandela were anti-white or racist slogans...or banning Free Angela Davis etc etc.
How did we get here?

Anyway, the backlash against Ed Sheeran & the wicked Robert Kraft has been fierce. Very good!

BTW, Colin Kaepernick has some very insightful takes on the whole mess. He's accusing the stadium owners of "colluding" against Macklemore pretty much as they did against him. He's right!

Macklemore(photo below) is also a feminist who proves conclusively that Irony should be DEAD!!

Israel is finished, no way for Israel to survive its current downward spiral. Kudos for every word Macklemore said. I validate every single thing he expressed. Macklemore is more like the Houthis to me, NOT THE SAUDIS.

"Israel is finished, no way for Israel to survive its current downward spiral."

It may seem so and if the Netanyahu brand of politics continues, Israel is in deep shit! HOWEVER, always remember there's a deep Radical Tradition in Jewish life and its intellectual tradition with many of its adherents in Israel. If they are able to gain political currency and acceptability in a post Netanyahu Israel, the country will be okay, especially if a two-state peace agreement comes about.

In the mean time, if the Netanyahu-style of politics continues, the instinct for revenge against Israel will simmer and eventually boil over/explode - believe me, the young kids who survive the genocide will grow up, get educated, and probably become more dangerous than Osama bin Laden.
Let's keep hope alive!

, you must know that Israel's current government and many of its citizens oppose a two-state solution primarily due to deep-seated security fears, historical distrust, and "ideological" claims to the land. Also on the Palestinian side "some" don't want any two-state solution, they want the Jews out. They see them as invaders.

LOL, I think its the Afro-Palestinians who should decide who can stay in the country and who should leave because they are the real natives of the land. Hahahahaha!! I'm dead now!! Please stop shooting at me G? Sir, are you trying to deliberately fire all the ammunition from your firearm until it is completely empty?? GOsshhh, I can see too many bullet holes in my chest. LOL!!

Good point, but it may never happen Mr G.

"""If they are able to gain political currency and acceptability in a post Netanyahu Israel""""

The country might become temporarily peaceful after Netanyahu is gone but deep scars will remain, I mean a real deep emotional wound will be left by this painful experience(genocide), which means somewhere some Palestinian "Nat Turner" can show up at anytime. Don't forget that Palestinians were not any good even in a pre-Netanyahu Israel.

""""especially if a two-state peace agreement comes about""""

Well, thats a dream that will never come true. Been hearing about this deal since my childhood days , you must know that Israel's current government and many of its citizens oppose a two-state solution primarily due to deep-seated security fears, historical distrust, and "ideological" claims to the land. Also on the Palestinian side "some" don't want any two-state solution, they want the Jews out. They see them as invaders.

Genocide is not a political fashion anymore. With all this media coverage and the world becoming a village through technology&science, it looks very savage and uncivilized to practise genocide in this 21st century. Like I said, Pygmies have never been savages.

Indeed(photo below) props to Macklemore and his friends.
