Pink is standing by her criticism of Macklemore after he performed an anti-Israel song and chanted ‘Free Palestine’ at a New Jersey concert, saying her repost of a critical video was not an endorsement of everything in it and that she was speaking as a Jewish mother who felt scared.
Where I live, everyone’s a Middle East analyst by lunch. The barista. The plumber. Now the pop stars, chanting geopolitics into a stadium mic between encore ballads. Pink reposts, Macklemore wails, and neither has read a briefing. Millions displaced. Millions more performing outrage for ticket sales. That’s the joke. Nobody’s laughing.
