His attempt to ‘both sides’ what he calls the ‘Israel-Gaza conflict’ just isn’t going to wash. There are clear war crimes committed on regular basis by gov of Israel against innocent people. He didn’ take same approach to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He has chosen a side & I hope it haunts him.

“Taking a side can cost you,” Macklemore said. “Money, brand deals, sponsorships, festivals, private shows, relationships and access. I’ve lost all of those things. But there is no neutral position between the oppressor and the oppressed.”
