@nakedpoliticsuk: Journalist and academic Mark Lamont Hill explains why Palestinians who resist occupation are not viewed as “innocent” and the ways that resistance creates fear amongst the powerful. Lamont’s comments were being made in the wider context of Ed Sheeran’s controversial agreement to remove rapper Macklemore from his tour over his vocal support for Palestine. Robert Kraft the owner of Gillette stadium released a statement following immense online criticism and a number of other artists pulling out of the tour in solidarity with Macklemore. Kraft stated “I’ve dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people. I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting.” “Earlier today, before Macklemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis. Ed now plans to reach out to other venue owners and our goal is to continue to work together to build bridges.” 📽️ Joe Budden Show #israel #palestine #edsheeran #palestinianresistance
