Rapper Macklemore is facing significant backlash after a "Free Palestine" plea during his performance on Ed Sheeran's tour, leading to a petition for his removal. Some ticket buyers have called for the Grammy winner to be dropped from the tour following his onstage comments advocating for "safety and peace" for all, and performing his protest song "Hind's." Macklemore has since stated his call was not an attack on Jewish people.
Meanwhile, Oscar-winning actor Susan Sarandon has revealed she is still experiencing career repercussions due to her outspoken support for Palestine. Sarandon stated that she and other critics of Israel find it "impossible" to secure roles with major studios, despite a perceived shift in public opinion. The actor shared these sentiments at the Venice film festival while promoting her latest movie.
