From further down in the article:

Pink wrote that she was not trying to get any artist fired or silence anyone but that she took issue with Macklemore’s putting “violent images” of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza up in a stadium filled with families, then telling Jews in the audience that “it wasn’t about them.”

She's mad that Macklemore put up pictures of the shit that the Israeli military did? But she takes no issue with what the military itself did?

    That's not what she said?

    Maybe nothing, maybe something, but doesn't mean she has no issue. Finding A in bad taste doesn't mean you support B.

    You can condemn the genocide committed by Israel and also not want pictures of dead people in a family event.

    She felt it necessary for her to speak out publicly against Macklemore showing the genocide that Israel is comitting. She did not feel necessary to speak out publicly againts the genocide itself. Priorities...

    you know how often the literal Nazi leaders publicly said they were doing a genocide, and were in support of genocide? while they were doing it? this is some flawed logic bud.

    Support isn't exclusively stating you explicitly support genocide and nothing else. The majority of support is going to look like people who refuse to mention anything at all about the genocide but show up to tell people AGAINST the genocide that their actions, methods, wording, and choices are wrong. that's about the strongest public support you'll see. if your argument is no one can call it support because she isn't saying out loud 'I support the genocide in Palestine' you're making a very bad argument. Historically, a supporter of atrocities is going to tell others to sit down and shut up, it's going to claim nothing is actually happening, it's going to argue that the law allows the abuse or forbids aid and that's just because it's the law, or something else along those lines, it's never going to be someone saying they support the genocide directly.
