Sure would be a shame if concert-goers elected to boycott the venues that rejected a performer on those grounds.

    Honestly this:

    “Criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you. My message is for peace; love for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality.”

    There's no masking the state that Israel left Gaza, they tore the place to the ground, and the Israeli "defense" force has committed outright war-crimes against Palestinians.

    If this were any other group of people, any other religious group, nobody would be questioning what Israel are doing as being a Genocide. But because Israel is a Jewish state, everyone's afraid to call the spade a spade.

    If Pink agrees with calling an anti-genocide movement anti-Israeli propaganda, then I'm afraid that says more about her views on this genocide than her words can for her. Because if she truly wasn't okay with the Genocide, she'd be joining Macklemore as an ally, not criticising him over how he chose to spread the message for the world to see.
