What are your thoughts on Macklemore's vile anti-Semitic performance at MetLife? Look, it's just the most ironic thing. I mean, I think Macklemore literally supports Hamas and is probably thrilled by October 7th. He won't hide it. I don't think so. I don't think he could prop defend a position in which he actually could properly condemn those actors who want war, perpetual war and terrorism in the Middle East. You know, he gets up there spouting all these Western democratic principles and values. We just want a world of equality where everyone lives in dignity. Okay, does Hamas agree with you, Macklemore? Does the majority of Palestinian society in Gaza or the West Bank agree with you? Is that the world they want? Ask them because Israel has a state. Israel exists and demonstrates what it stands for and the values that it stands for and wishes to protect and preserve the society it built. What is that society like? What would a free Palestine look like? I tour the world and I come to these stages to say one word, free Palestine. Would a free Palestine be free? Would the people living in it have rights? Would the women living in a free Palestine have rights? Would the homosexuals living in it have rights? Did they have rights in Gaza as they were thrown from rooftops? Or as women are oppressed or collaborators or free speech advocates or journalists, are they protected in Gaza by their Hamas leadership or are they gagged, tied up, with their feet broken by bricks, shot in the streets and you say nothing? Nothing. Nothing is easier than pointing out that free societies are imperfect or have fallen short of certain ideals and principles, but they hold those ideals and principles. The societies and states and cultures you're protecting and speaking out for Macklemore don't even have those principles or ideals. They're not trying to do those things. They don't care about human life, civilian life, and they're not working towards building societies and cultures that respect the very rights you're out there advocating for. Israel does. And the proof is in the pudding.
