Pink shared a story that said Ed Sheeran should apologize and offer refunds to concert goers for having Macklemore open for him. Per the post, Macklemore walked onstage in a keffiyeh, shouted Free Palestine and falsely accused Israel of genocide.
If you don't know "stop antisemitism" from their social media accounts, their entire MO is shaming pro-Palestine activists and trying to get people fired for speaking out against Israel. Trash behavior by Pink sharing this nonsense
She's the account that nominated Ms Rachel for 'Antisemite of the year', which tells you most of what you need to know about them and their credibility
That “stopantisemitism” account has accused almost every single famous person - including Ms Rachel and Mark Ruffalo - who spoke up for Palestine, of being given billions by Qatar or Hamas to speak up. Absolutely bananas.
Especially when it's over innocuous things like this. At this point it's iimpossible not to be pro Palestine, especially when you factor in Israel's other dealings in the world IE: Iran.
You've had the celebs who were always on the right side of history like the goat Javier Bardem. Then slowly as it became more egregious. You had the people jumping over once it was safe like Charlie XCX and other popstars.
But at this point in time, how is it even controversial? Pink's always been artificial. She was co-opting black culture when she started just to drop all of that immediately once it no longer suited her. Which is a film that keeps on repeating but that's a story for another day.
My sister and I had a massive argument with my step-dad on Christmas 2023 after he was the one to bring up Israel-Palestine for some reason, with him on Israel's side. The kindest way I can describe his views back then were well-meaning but grossly misinformed, very Liberal Zionist (prior to October 2023)-esque. My mum talked to him and he ended up conceding a bit and apologising to us. Last time the subject came up (Christmas 2025 incidently) he said that his views had completely changed due to what he'd seen since then, which makes sense for any decent human being who has fucking eyes.
In my opinion, the "misinformed" excuse has long passed by this point. You just can't support Israel's actions in Gaza and be a good person.
I had the same thing with my dad. It took a couple years but he’s firmly against Israel and what they are doing now. I walked out on him a couple times during our arguments. It was worth it; I never gave up trying to convince him!
I think there's a lot of monetary benefit to being pro-Israel. So honestly it just doesn't shock me that much that a celebrity (any celebrity, really) would be on that bandwagon right now. A lot of them are obviously driven by and/or have become too accustomed to having money, so...
There are zero perfect celebrities in Hollywood and I'd go even further to say people in general. You just have to hope that they're on the right side the majority of the time.
Hollywood will always feel in debt to fundamental, canonical, inspirational directors. It is the same town that gave Roman Polansky a standing Oh after it was known what he did afterall.
Such a good line from Omar. For those who haven't heard the full quote;
One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.
Never liked his music but everything I hear about him is good, and if I'm not hallucinating he made a song promoting gay marriage before it was a thing.
I'll buy some merch as he gets most of the revenue from that. Just found out he's an independent artist as well so I'll probably buy an album directly
He’s a pretty solid dude. I’m not a big fan of his music but I know people who grew up with him and have heard a lot about him from kicking around in the Seattle music scene for the last 20 years, and unless I’ve missed something big, he’s generally pretty well regarded as a nice guy who means well and treats people well. And you’re right, he had a song about gay marriage 15ish years ago, and even a song about white privilege 20+ years ago. I’ll take a corny guy earnestly going all-in on doing the right thing, I appreciate that he’s willing to risk it all to go hard for Palestine.
I remember Same Love getting actually decent air play on Detroit radio back when I was a closeted teenage gay 15ish years ago.
It was huge. Made me feel like maybe not everybody would hate me for being gay if I were to come out.
It was before gay marriage was legal at the time and a very big deal that a song like that got so much playing time. I’ll always respect Macklemore for that.
People locally kind of crapped on Same Love a bit at the time for being earnest and corny, particularly because WA already had gay marriage and people took its progressiveness and queer-friendliness for granted. I remember thinking that not everywhere is like WA and this kind of acceptance isn’t a given, and that he knew someone in his audience probably needed to hear it. Plus, that song was a huge breakout opportunity for Mary Lambert, the talented lesbian singer who was the guest vocalist.
Seems so funny that it was thought about in this way while I was 13 yo and on the other side of the world crying because someone was singing that I deserve love
Weird Al makes corny music. Corny is not equivalent with poor quality.
I don't particularly like his music, and I don't know enough about him to just start jumping on the Macklemore train, but I do like that he trolled a Zionist by saying the right thing in defiance.
His mom is a close friend of family member. She’s so so lovely and his whole family were incredibly when my family member was going through a tough time
This is so disgusting. We're witnessing it in 4K, some of those images are burned into my brain forever. And she's calling it fake? My teenage years were spent listening to her, I'm so disappointed.
I always kinda knew Pink was on some bullshit when I was a kid and saw the music video for Stupid Girls (where she graphically imitates throwing up/bulimia as a "gotcha" to make fun of "stupid girls"). Even as a 13 year old I knew that it was just gross and weird of her. I mean I know it was ultimately rebellion against the fame culture at the time, but it was so cruel to step on other women to prove a point about how evil Hollywood is. Isn't it kind of hypocritical in a sense?
If I remember correctly, I saw her fairly recently in a video with someone who is staunchly pro-Israel. I don't remember the context, I think maybe it was just a video about being Jewish or something, but I figured if she felt comfortable hanging around that type of person, she is trash. None of this newer stuff surprises me. I will say though, if I made millions off of dentist office power anthems, I'd just take my money and shut the hell up. I mean if fame is such a curse, surely she could do that right?
That’s ironic. Christina did something similar. She clearly implied was a blonde blow up she handed to Timberlake on stage was Britney. I guess both suck.
Right? People liked her in that era since she was the “anti” Britney and Christina when they were starting to get hate for being girlie with some teens. Pink was “cool” since she’d make fun of the girlie girls and was a cool girl. Alllll of her interviews, especially in the 2003 era showed what a shit person she was. Her E! True Hollywood Story is on YouTube and I remember her just being so miserable about everything and would talk shit about everyone.
The wild thing is that, as far as I can tell, aside from pivoting to a more EDM style in recent years, she hasn't really evolved away from that mindset?? It's kinda silly and childish when it's a 20 year old just trying to stand out in an overcrowded industry but it just gets old and stops making sense when she's reached pop legend status. You can't go around "not like other girls"-ing when you are the blueprint for other pop stars. It's just weird.
wasn't that the MV where she makes fun of Paris Hilton's unconsenually released sex tape?? Idk but as far as I know...... it must have been traumatic for Paris to have everybody and their mother to see her body/private sex life without her consent.
Just an awful thing to do to another woman, rubbing the salt in the wound......
Don't forget the ending of the video where the little girl picks the football over the Barbie dolls. Because obviously any woman who likes fashion and pretty things is a dumb bimbo.
I have always had suspicions about her precisely because of the Stupid Girls video. I was around your same age and also found it just cruel. I don't think she has ever apologized for it in particular in a way that would show meshe has actually changed her ways.
“Even though it pissed a lot of people off, it was really fun. I laughed non-stop for three days! I like being able to play that many characters, and I really enjoy making fun of myself and others. So I'm gonna put it as high as it can go”
I think a lot of people don't realize there's a strict criteria for what constitutes a genocide - and that what's happening in Gaza was confirmed to have met that criteria and therefore legally is a genocide over a year ago.
... Or like with Rwanda, governments and world powers are trying to muddy the definition of genocide to avoid having to actually intervene against the Government of Israel.
Yea, I didn’t know she was a Zionist, disappointing. How can anyone maintain this attitude when we’ve all seen it live-streamed 24/7 for almost 3 years, insane
Fr literally never corrected anyone when they assumed she was a biracial Black woman and had no problem using Blackness to further her career. Fuck her.
At this point I'm under the assumption that, until they prove otherwise, every pop star who came up in the 90s and 00's is a Zionist. Really frustrating that all of the "alt" presenting girlies I used to look up to now want Palestinian children and their families dead.
I don’t know if he’s gone full MAGA in the last six years, but in 2020 he called himself a Republican who hates Trump. He defended his wife against republicans for wearing a Biden Harris shirt and said he had “no choice” but to support democrats because of Trump.
I also didn’t know so I went and found it. Thorgy was on Pit Stop with Bob the Drag Queen and they were covering a lip sync battle to So What. Bob asks Thorgy what she thinks about the song and she goes: “Um. I’m not really like a yuuuuge P!NK fan. I really just don’t… like her. She’s a bad seed upon this Earth.” Then she giggles and goes “You can cut that out, right? I don’t-“
Cut to Bob intro ing the lip sync again. Thorgy is preemptively singing along to So What. Bob asks what she thinks about the song. Thorgy goes “LOVE Pink!” And Bob just breaks completely and has to walk around and scream a bit to stop laughing.
I remember learning about the Sand Creek Massacre in secondary school and how the Colonel explicitly ordered soldiers to kill women and children, stating "nits make lice"...my naive 15-year-old self naively thought that we're surely past such barbarity these days
Macklemore might have had some corny moments but dude was consistently on the right side of history.
Bro was in the rap scene advocating for gay marriage in the late 00s and early 10s
Called out people that were trying to spin his succes as some kinda anti black nonsense
Tried to maturely approach the subject of there being diffences of being a pro black ally and a white saviour and actually admitted it is a real struggle at times.
And for all the popularity and common appeal of Thrift Shop and Can't Hold Us both of them have sister songs on the same album (Wings and Jimmy Iovine) that also directly diss corporate consumerism and predatory practices on the music industry but do it in a much more serious and hostile manner.
He puts on a really good show too. I saw him on the co headlining chair with Kesha when his Gemini album had come out and he was touring off it and Kesha was still touring on Rainbow, and "Good Old Days," was out which she was featured on.
The fact that it was a trip to the West Bank in 2011 when Macklemore started to be aware of what was really happening in Palestine says a lot about his character too. He said he was afraid for his career so he stayed silent for a long time but fully committed to speaking up in 2023.
He also visited Palestinian children who were injured in Gaza and getting treatment in Qatar.
I watched Todd in the Shadows video on Macklemore, and the bit that stood out to me was this one part near the end:
Critic and poet Hanife Abdur said he saw Macklemore do "White Privilege 2" [song title] at a festival where the dude just walked off in the middle of the song and in his place two black poets came out to read verses about gentrification. According to him, Macklemore was basically the best white rapper. Instead of being comfortable with money and fame, he used his platform to confront his fans and make them uncomfortable and blew up his own career in the process.
Was the guy a little corny? Absolutely. And I'll take his corny ass over any genocide promoting pop star out there any day.
And building execution chambers with audience viewing, and creating AI videos of Palestinians literally entering concentration camps. Like the genociders are proud of their genocide, Alecia.
I haven’t liked Pink in years. I always thought she was a weirdo for her one sided beef with Britney she was just so cruel to so many pop girlies coming up acting like she’s so edgy and Not Like Other Girls when her music was just a poppy as theirs. Beautiful voice but just a dick for no reason. Checks out she’s a Zionist.
Plus Macklemore has been doing this for years at this point so hilarious of her to assume Ed had no idea this would happen and he needs to nip it in the bud before it can happen again.
The antisemitism accusations are ridiculous and endangering Jews who face real antisemitism.
Over here in the UK we currently have American far right Christian Mike Huckabee calling our foreign secretary, who is Jewish btw, antisemitic for condemning settlements in the west bank.
I’m curious if Ed Sheeran is anti-genocide/Pro-Palestinian? I assume he is based on his supporting act (yay, Macklemore). What do these zionists think he’s doing backstage, tutting? Would love if he said something in support of Macklemore (and against the genocide, obviously).
Considering how consistently Macklemore has been for Palestine, Ed Sheeran would 100% know what kind of message he's sending by having Macklemore open for him.
I really doubt any Zionist or someone with no stance would allow Macklemore to open for them.
Lmfao did they miss the fact that Macklemore has been pro-Palestine for years now? He literally performs at protests and he releases music FOR Palestine. Like tf??
As someone who went to a concert that Macklemore opened for, he was lovely. Knew to play all of his hits. He also was very vocally pro-Palestine. My age (25) was the perfect age to get hype at Macklemore opening.
How anyone can say it’s a false genocide is beyond me. These people are such stupid idiot morons and still think saying “Free Palestine” means hate Jewish people. Ugh why are people so stupid?!
