Concertgoers bought tickets to hear music, not to be subjected to political propaganda that erases the complexity of this conflict and presents Israel as the sole cause of the region’s suffering. Following reports from attendees at the first show, AJC New Jersey immediately contacted the Meadowlands to express our community’s outrage.

Music should bring people together and not turn Jewish and Israeli concertgoers into targets."> <meta name="twitter:description" content="While opening for Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium, Macklemore chanted “Free Palestine,” accused Israel of “genocide” and “apartheid,” and used the stage—and the massive screens behind him—to promote a deeply one-sided and uninformed narrative about the Israel-Gaza conflict. …
