美国说唱歌手Macklemore因在Ed Sheeran巡演中发表支持巴勒斯坦的言论，遭到犹太团体和场馆施压，最终被巡演主办方Messina Touring Group从演出名单中移除。1根据报道，Macklemore在新泽西州MetLife体育场演出时表示"释放巴勒斯坦"并演唱歌曲《Hind's Hall》，引发以色列美国委员会发起请愿要求其离开巡演，反犹太主义监测组织StopAntisemitism也指控其进行"宣传"。1场馆所有者Robert Kraft随后表示，其场地不会为"仇恨言论"提供平台。1
Messina Touring Group表示，他们被告知场馆方将不允许Macklemore继续演出，否则整个巡演将被取消。1对此，Ed Sheeran在Instagram发表声明称"这是主办方的决定，不是我的"，同时解释了他选择不在公开场合谈论政治问题的原因。1Macklemore则回应称"在压迫者和被压迫者之间没有中立立场"，并表示如果他的言论能够成功转变对巴勒斯坦的讨论，这将是他"有史以来最成功的巡演"。1
American rapper Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran's touring lineup following his public statements of support for Palestine, which drew criticism from Jewish organizations and pressure from venue operators.1 During a performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Macklemore declared "Free Palestine" and performed a song titled "Hind's Hall," prompting the Israel America Council to launch a petition demanding his removal from the tour, while the organization StopAntisemitism accused him of engaging in "propaganda."1 Stadium owner Robert Kraft stated that his venue would not provide a platform for "hate speech."1
The touring promoter Messina Touring Group ultimately removed Macklemore from the bill after being informed by the venue that he would not be permitted to perform, or else the entire tour would be canceled.1 Ed Sheeran addressed the controversy through an Instagram statement, clarifying that the decision to exclude Macklemore was made by the tour organizers rather than by himself.1 He explained his preference not to discuss political matters publicly.
Macklemore responded by asserting that "there is no neutral position between the oppressor and the oppressed," and suggested that if his statements successfully shift the conversation surrounding Palestine, the tour would represent his "most successful tour ever."1
