In a format similar to Macklemore, Ed Sheeran has responded to the controversy regarding his tour and the genocide of Palestinian people. He has reaffirmed his stance on "not taking sides" while also stating that he wishes for violence to end. He disabled comments on his post.

Coward.

"I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed"

You mean by allowing Macklemore to be kicked out for his free speech? Stopping him from voicing his support is keeping conversations open?

Not taking a side is taking a side, period.

Just like Taylor, all words no action when it counts, not surprised in the slightest, money comes first to these posers, they honestly couldn’t care less about socio-political issues unless it helps their brand or makes them more money. 

Plus the music is pandering, basic garbage, never understood the appeal.

He doesn't realize it, but this statement will haunt him for the next 50 years.

Saying that you don't take a side is just being a coward... I hope he never comes back but it's so easy for men to get away with everything

western media forces Ukraine to be coddled like a little baby, like it isn't getting constant funding in arms and weaponry from the western world

 

but when you suggest palestenians deserve human rights suddenly it's intensely political.

Not just the supporting acts, but the backing band? Oh @Pablo may be right about the tour being ruined.

Thank you so much! Again, with mobile it isn't always the most reliable thing, but I will try that in the future and hopefully it works!

Ed is the type of artist who handles negativitiy towards him very poorly he is fragile. But the reaction to this statement is extremely negative I think he is going to have a breakdown.
