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?

Kanye literally supported Nazi ideology. Macklemore as far as I can read said free Palestine?

What is free Palestine? If that entails dissolving the the Jewish state for the Palestinians, then it has no place at a music concert where it should be inclusive for all. A lot of dumb people who say free Palestine, that’s what they mean

Seems unfair to put words in anyone’s mouth without letting them clarify. Why not let Macklemore clarify his stance before cancelling him
