Rowe cited that everyone on the lineup supported Palestinians living in Gaza. “Like, if Ed Sheeran was a fucking Zionist, why would he have all these fucking people on the fucking tour?” Rowe added.</p><p>Rowe said he believed Sheeran knows he made a mistake and took his home country of Ireland, other governments, the media, and the music industry to task who he said have “done fuck all” about the situation, despite having “so much money and so much power that they’re able to basically shut down any opinion that they don’t agree with.</p><p>“You should be using this opportunity to plaster Robert Kraft’s face everywhere, someone who tried to shut down free speech, someone who tried to silence the voices of people who are shouting out genocide,” he added. “That’s what you should be using your energy on, not fucking Ed Sheeran, for fuck’s sake.”</p><p>Doubling down on his stance after his removal from the tour, <a href="http://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/macklemore-palestine-donation-ed-sheeran-tour-1235628025/" target="_blank">Macklemore pledged to donate $1 million</a> to Palestinian support groups and challenged Kraft “to match” him. <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/robert-kraft-responds-macklemore-1-million-donation-match-1235628081/" target="_blank">Kraft responded with a statement</a> that included a $2 million commitment “to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis,” claiming it was a match to a donation from Sheeran. A rep for Sheeran did not immediately respond to <em>Rolling Stone</em>’s request for comment about the statement.</p><p><em>From <a
