In a statement provided to the Mirror US Sports, Kraft expressed sympathy for Palestinians who are suffering "real" losses while even calling for a sit-down conversation with Macklemore. 

...okay, that's also what Macklemore said. So what exactly did he say that involves "Jewish hate"?

Also seems pretty pathetic to call for a "sit down conversation" after you blocked an entire tour and then called all the other stadium owners to demand they block him as well.

You're open to a 'sit down conversation', as long as you first silence him?

Stadiums who let Kanye headline won’t let Macklemore be the opener….

Kanye wrote college dropout. Macklemore needed a cowriter for thrift shop.

Yeah that’s why one is headlining and one is opening

The point is the same stadiums allowing Kanye to perform are saying Ed needs to drop Macklemore as an opener
