[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 444323, member: 35"] Ultimately, yes. Artistic expression and free speech should always come first. I personally prefer when an artist speaks through their art rather than going on a rant on stage, but I still think they should have the right to do so if they wish. Of course, Macklemore didn't even go on a rant. He simply said "free Palestine," and the Zionists got in a tizzy. As for Sheeran, I think the difference between his stance on the Ukraine War vs. Gaza comes down to self-preservation. It's always been acceptable to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but Gaza is different. Because of the hold Israel has over the US, people are often condemned for calling the atrocities in Gaza a genocide. Even expressing sympathy for the suffering of Palestinians is condemned by these ghouls. Sheeran chose stadium gigs over his beliefs, not anticipating that it would cost him in other ways. [/QUOTE]
