In short:<\/p>\n<p>First, to provide some context for how I see this, let me be clear about where I stand: Free Palestine. I was therefore pleasantly surprised by how Macklemore handled the situation, from his statement to donating his tour earnings.<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean I oppose Ed Sheeran\u2019s choice to stay out of politics.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good reminder of how short-sighted people on social media can be, and how easily public opinion is steered by people with power and knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>The main antagonist in this story isn\u2019t Ed Sheeran. It\u2019s billionaire Robert Kraft, owner of the Gillette Stadium and a prominent supporter of Israel, who, together with three other NFL owners, threatened Ed Sheeran\u2019s team not to host the tour as long as Macklemore was on it.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of debating the value of freedom of speech, which, from my European perspective, feels obvious, we\u2019re stuck in a debate that goes like this: Macklemore good, Ed Sheeran bad.<\/p>\n<p>And all because people want Ed Sheeran to speak out. I don\u2019t agree with that. We can\u2019t force artists to speak out, form an opinion, or become activists just because they have a platform. They can, but they aren\u2019t obliged to. We can\u2019t \u201cout\u201d somebody\u2019s opinion just to form our own. I think that\u2019s poor human behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of a Macklemore versus Ed Sheeran debate, this should be about people with power who successfully interfere with free speech. But that\u2019s not the case, and those with power have played it well.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DdT-6KGAtuI\/?ref=hypebot.com\">Ed Sheeran\u2019s statement<\/a>&nbsp;that accelerated the debate was terrible. His team should have managed this much better.<\/p>\n<p>Artists aren\u2019t obliged to speak out. But staying neutral in the middle of a fight is a message too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>+Read more: <\/em><\/strong><em>&#8220;Everything We Know About the Ed Sheeran \u2013 Macklemore Tour
