It's time for an update on the Ed Sheeran story and a little reframing, too. Especially since he himself is not the apartheid state in question. He is not our government officials who continue to send that apartheid state bombs and funding. And he himself is not a multi-billionaire capitalist and football team owner like Robert Kraft, who since Macklemore has been putting on the pressure, has pledged to donate millions of dollars in a recently released statement. That statement is a little fishy.
Robert only says that he's going to be giving this money to the region, which what organizations or areas in the region that means, we don't entirely know. I mean, could even just be going straight to Israel by that definition, and he's been known to donate to AIPAC. So again, Ed Sheeran, it's true, he's well-deserving of the clowning, but let's not forget that the real victims and the real focus of all of this should be the Palestinian people and to support them whatever way that you can through organizations like UNRWA as well as the PCRF.
What do you think?
