Want to see some more Israel/Jew hatred in action? Not because you enjoy it (at least I hope not), but because you want to know about it?

Ed Sheeran’s tour in trouble after opening acts drop out in solidarity with rapper Macklemore
Ed Sheeran’s tour of North and South America was plunged into chaos Tuesday when four of his supporting acts abruptly quit in solidarity with the rapper Macklemore, who was dropped for making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.
Hours after Sheeran posted on social media about Macklemore’s ouster and attributed the decision to the tour’s promoters, Irish acts Aaron Rowe and Beoga, the Danish band Lukas Graham, and Finneas posted on Instagram that they were leaving the tour.
Rowe and Lukas Graham would have been replacements for Macklemore on Sheeran’s remaining U.S. dates, while Beoga had been performing several songs — including some the Irish folk band co-wrote — with Sheeran around the middle of each set. Finneas, who is Billie Eilish’s brother and musical collaborator, was due to tour with Sheeran in South America later this year.
Fascinating.
sheeran was forced to remove macklemore from his tour because of macklemore’s unbridled anti-Semitism – which sheeran must have known about this, since macklemore had made no secret of it for years.
But because he did something about it, sheeran has now lost so many of his group – who, obviously, are in sympathy with macklemore – that his tour is in jeopardy.
If you, or anyone you know, still wonders how strong, how pervasive Israel/Jew hatred has become – and how its practitioners are now emboldened to go public with it (like they did in 1930’s Germany, for example) – this should help to provide the answer.
