    It’s not clear that Ed Sheeran had anything to do with the decision, but him and more acts may want to back out of tour, until a new promoter is found, or decision is reversed.

      Staying silent means he has something to do with it. Releasing a statement saying “he’s neutral” means he has something to do with it.

      The only correct option is voicing support for Macklemore and agreeing that Israel is committing genocide (as it is doing). Force the venue’s or promoters hand. He has the money to do it.

        I do believe the Zionist Robert Kraft did gather other stadiums in the tour to present the ultimatum to Ed Sheeran.

        That doesn’t excuse Sheeran’s capitulation to Zionist sanctions.
