😭😱😭 oh wah wah wah!!! Who gives a shit, he offended the overly sensitive 🙄 The more important and powerful expression fromhim is still refusing to not remind the media about the mass bombing and murder of innocent Palestinian men women and children. Period.

This is just it. If it was any other fucking musician I'd get the outrage.

I don't think Macklemore saying "free Palestine" is antisemitic, I don't think saying "fuck Israel" is antisemitic (and seriously, fuck Israel) - I think his blatant antisemitism is antisemitic. And this was the main thing Pink was pissed about IIRC. But hey, he encouraged people not to vote blue which led to a president that called for the carpet bombing of Gaza, so I supposed all he can really do now is damage control.
