His statement:

This is awesome

Robert Kraft is just going to donate $1 million to sex trafficking

I'm an old man who had no idea who Macklemore was until this week. This guy is fucking cool.

I'd wager Kraft has already surpassed that amount, just not to Palestine.

Kraft released a statement shortly after Macklemore, saying that he was contacted by Sheeran before the rapper put out his statement to ask for a $2 million match to aid in the region.

I hate to be the "devils in the details guy", but what region is Kraft talking about?

From further down in the article:

Pink wrote that she was not trying to get any artist fired or silence anyone but that she took issue with Macklemore’s putting “violent images” of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza up in a stadium filled with families, then telling Jews in the audience that “it wasn’t about them.”

She's mad that Macklemore put up pictures of the shit that the Israeli military did? But she takes no issue with what the military itself did?

Kraft said in a statement shortly thereafter that Sheeran contacted him before Macklemore put out his statement to ask for a $2 million match to aid in the region.

Yes. sure he did. What a coincidence that must've been, and it was for double the amount.

“Ed now plans to reach out to other venue owners and our goal is to continue to work together to build bridges,” Kraft wrote.

Yes, because that will fix it.. /s

If $1M was the entirety of his earnings for the Sheeran tour, Kraft should be matching with the entirety of his earnings for the same time period. It’s only fair.

Gigachad.

The world would be a much better place if rich people competed in who can feed the most people in conflict zones more often.

MS rachel already is matching his donation by giving 1mil of her own to palestine. and she called out celebrities to do the same, although she said "white celebs"

I find it funny that on all these Ed and Macklemore posts there's exactly 1 downvote on all the comments.

Somebody's salty. I can almost see their expression as they go through every comment downvoting with full on "I'll show them all" Nerd Rage coursing through their body.

Hi, I'm wondering how many people would agree with this statement:

"I am not antisemitic, I am anti-genocide, and these are two different things."

Just trying to understand general sentiments.

I do think corny is an appropriate word to describe him, but he has always seemed genuine and sweet as hell.

When this whole drama broke like 1 or 2 days ago, reading the headlines, I was afraid I'd have to stop listening and supporting Macklemore. The headlines were vague. I'm so happy and artist I love is not a Zionist asshole

A lot more to give for macklemore versus billionaire kraft. He'll likely say he's going to match or exceed for optics. At least challenge kraft back at that point to tell him to share receipts publicly. He likely doesn't donate shit, or donates to a sham fund.

Doesn't Kraft donate enormous sums of money to Israel?

Very cool of him to do and standing behind his convictions.

Also something I came across today from Two youtubers, Lindsay Ellis and Todd in the Shadows: https://store.dftba.com/products/tribute-to-ed-sheerans-bravery-fundraiser-t-shirt

Seems like a nice chap that I can align with, definitely shouldn’t be kicked off Zionist sympathisers tours for being level headed

Hey a reminder to check his music and get his numbers up

he also has 3 songs specifically about shit like that:

• fucked up
• HIND'S HALL
• HIND'S HALL 2

(so make sure they get more popular)

Cool.

That's cute and all but I seriously doubt the monies are going to go where it's supposed to go. He would have been better off donating to homeless shelters.
