As we reported last week, Sen. Bernie Sanders was butthurt once again over billionaires existing. As our own Gordon K reported, Macklemore was finally dropped from Ed Sheeran's tour. But it wasn't Sheeran who kicked Macklemore off of the tour because of his pro-Palestinian political screeds. It was the venue owners, in particular New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who said Macklemore wasn't welcome in his stadium. This had Sanders whining that "in the United States of America, billionaire stadium owners should not be able to silence artists because they speak out on political issues."
In what came together suspiciously quickly, Macklemore "and friends" have announced a Free Palestine tour, with the poster featuring the logos of at least 12 different activist organizations at the bottom. Macklemore says that what happened to him "is bigger than one artist or one stage" and, like Sanders, complained about "the billionaire class" deciding which voices are allowed on stage.
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.

So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations… pic.twitter.com/Eow5Lv1SCH
Last time "Free Palestine" showed up at a music festival, 1,200 men, women and children were slaughtered, raped and kidnapped by your friends.

Congrats on screwing Ed Sheeran over to get attention. Enjoy playing your songs from 2012 to the mopes that show up to glow on to the last little bit of attention from this online flap.

Macklemore is going on tour to "free Palestine," a nation that has never existed at any time in human history.

One stop the tour will not be making - Gaza, or literally anywhere in the Middle East.
It is safe to virtue signal in Dublin, Paris and London.
Take your tour to Gaza. Report back.

Why not play in Palestine and drape a pride flag over yourself like you do in America?

Nothing "happened" to you. You chose to make a career out of Jew-hatred, beginning with costuming yourself like a vile anti-Semitic stereotype. You're no martyr. You're a hateful lowlife who wants to escape any consequences for your despicable behavior.

You know you’re part of the hate movement when you’ve got the Orwellian “Jewish Voice for Peace” backing your play.

What happened to you was, you were shilling for terrorists, got dropped, ruined your "friends" tour, cost hundreds of people a couple paychecks, and now your "charity" shows are going to flop AND you're still going to be supporting Nazis that want to kill jews.

Good job dumbass.
You should play at the Nova Music Festival...

Oh wait
The pro-Hamas machine really showed how quickly it can put something like this together. Sadly, Hamas sympathizers will probably endure Macklemore's music just so they can say they attended the Free Palestine tour. There are plenty of Islamists in Dublin, Paris, and London to fill seats.
