And make no mistake: to choose silence, to hide behind being "apolitical" in the face of oppression, is to choose the side of the oppressor.

Nothing can justify being this spineless. Releasing a “both sides” statement in the context of a genocide is unforgivable. Shame on Ed Sheeran.

All remaining supporting acts of Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour (FINNEAS, Aaron Rowe, and Lukas Graham) & his backing band of over 10 years (Beoga) have boycotted to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and with Macklemore: these are people with morals and a backbone.

And make no mistake: to choose silence, to hide behind being "apolitical" in the face of oppression, is to choose the side of the oppressor.

Ed Sheeran's promise to "keep conversations open, not closed”, while silencing those calling attention to the mass murder and ethnic cleansing of a people, is a contradiction of the highest degree.

Calling a genocide a "conflict" is one of the most disgusting things a person can say, especially from someone with a platform as large as Ed Sheeran's. Releasing an statement declaring "I am not complicit”, while actively choosing complicity in a genocide, is beyond shameful and embarrassing.

Mothers who woke up to empty beds, shattered homes and the unbearable task of burying their own children while bombs fall around them. Today belongs to the women who carried life, protected it and are now holding unimaginable loss in their arms. (2/2)

Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers of the world. Especially the mothers in Palestine, Lebanon and Iran who are spending today grieving instead of celebrating. VIA: @des_arayofsunshine

End ethnic cleansing from Palestine to Lebanon.

Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance. Israeli has ordered Muslims civilians to leave southern Lebanon; while guaranteeing Christian and Druze civilians complete safety in the same region.

As the bill was passed, Israeli officials celebrated with champagne; noose-shaped pins fastened to their suits. This is APARTHEID and this is GENOCIDE. Boycott, Divest, and Sanction. (2/2)

Israel is the first state with a death penalty for one race but not another since Nazi Germany in 1945. Palestinians convicted of certain crimes now face a default sentence of death by hanging. The conviction rate for Palestinians in Israeli courts is 99.74 percent. (1/2)

It’s not over yet. 🇵🇸
