In this video, we’re talking about why Macklemore was kicked off Ed Sheeran’s tour after speaking about Palestine and why the remaining opening acts dropped out too.
We’re also discussing Ed’s attempt to remain apolitical, criticism of Israel versus antisemitism, and whether celebrities can genuinely avoid taking a political position.

ABOUT
My main goal is to provide you the tools to rationally share your opinion on tough topics.
I’ve adopted the mindset that you can either be a victim of your past or a victor of your future and that at some point, you have to move forward in your life and accept that you are the present manifestation of the past.
I’ll always be here to share my thoughts and offer a new perspective on tough topics. From politics to culture and self-development to new ideas, I’m here to talk about it all.
