Very astute. Shows you what they’re really afraid of and it ain’t ‘antisemitism’.

That’s pretty much the same conclusion I came to after a very bland and quick research into what’s going on with this whole thing.

“Macklemore wants to stand up for truth & love.

Kraft wants to deny that from happening”.

Now that Kraft is getting backlash for his actions and noticed the public is against him; he’s trying to save his face.

They love to say “it’s complicated” but it really not.

Sometimes things really are complicated. But in this case? Yeah I agree with you. It’s not complicated at all, you stand up for what’s right no matter what it costs you.

I mean, Israel definitely have had the most responsibility in the amount of civilians killed, but how is it not complicated when Hamas is embedding themselves in the civilian population?

Unfortunately for Gazans, its not only Israel that doesn't care enough about Palestinian lives, but also Hamas.
