While Sheeran claimed to be adhering to his apolitical brand, one critic argued he was really just "letting a pro-Israel billionaire choose his politics for him."
It was to silence them so the genocide could be covered up and continued. It was to silence them so Israel had less pressure to stop.
Israel has killed people for speaking out. Helping them silence others is absolutely complicity.
Imagine if Ed Sheran was helping keep the Holocaust quiet, or helping keep political pressure off of the Nazis. We’d say he’s complicit, a Nazi spokesperson and political collaborator.
technically he didn’t the promoter did, but like the rest of the acts he is able to walk away. he may face contract breach fines, but he can afford that a lot better than the acts that left already. basically choosing to be on the fence or undeclared is a choice for the more aggressive and violent party in any case.
Yep there is no such thing as not taking a side in genocide. You either are against it or you are for it. If you refuse to speak out on it or try to equivocate that both sides are some how the same then guess what? You’re doing the bidding of those doing the genocide.
There is no such thing as being apolitical in society. Just apathetic and selfish.
Okay, so why’d you kick someone off the tour for?

Bruh it’s Ed Sheeran’s tour he can’t just act like he didn’t have power here. What’s the promoter gonna do without you if you make an ultimatum?
