1
When you lost Jesse Waters on the free Palestine front, it's over.
2
You know what I mean?
3
Speaking of Macklemore, there's a new Macklemore post.
4
He said, with everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
5
I'll be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from
6
the Ed Sheeran Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people, and I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation.
7
Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this.
8
Palestinian lives are worth protecting.
9
A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
10
That is what this has always been about.
11
Not me, not a tour, not the headlines or the controversy.
12
It's about Palestinians' right to freedom, dignity, and safety on their own homeland.
13
Uh-oh.
14
That's the MKUltra activation code, though.
15
You said Palestinians have a homeland.
16
Robert Kraft is not going to like that.
17
I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without basic resources to treat them and the physicians, paramedics, journalists, and aid workers who keep going back in.
18
I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine.
19
The risk is of a far different order than mine.
20
Just yesterday, 15-year-old Mohammed al-Zinadi was killed in an Israeli strike while rushing to help aid worker Sharif Lubad, who had already been injured.
21
He was a child.
22
Both were murdered.
23
Both should be alive.
24
And the ones still under the rubble, whose names exist only in the memories of people who may not have survived to speak them.
25
Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me.
26
I am doing it because I can and because these organizations are doing the work while much of the world debates it.
27
But aid alone cannot address the conditions that make it necessary.
28
This is a man-made injustice and I believe it requires immediate political change.
29
Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free.
30
That is where my focus will remain.
31
I will continue to stand with the Palestinian people and their fight for liberation.
32
When the new cycle moves on, which it will, don't move with it.
33
Free Palestine.
34
Now what's interesting is Robert Kraft has now responded from Gillette Stadium.
35
Let's read what he said.
36
I've dedicated much of my life to building bridges between all people, including Jeffrey Epstein, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Donald Trump.
37
I added that part myself.
38
I believe deeply that all lives are worth protecting, including Benjamin Netanyahu's and Jeffrey Epstein's and Donald Trump's.
39
Earlier today, before McLemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me
40
and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis.
41
Donate in the region?
42
The humanitarian crisis?
43
Who is responsible for it?
44
What are the charities you're donating to?
45
He's like, that's why I'm giving $2 million.
46
By the way, he won't even hand it to McLemore.
47
He's like, yeah, Ed asked me, actually.
48
That's why I'm doing it.
49
I'm doubling and I'm giving it to the IDF.
50
Ed now plans to reach out to other venue owners and our goal is to continue to work together to build bridges.
51
In addition, I'd like the people who are speaking in support of the Palestinian people to know
52
that for decades I have supported efforts to create opportunity for Palestinians and brought young Palestinians and Israelis together to build businesses, create jobs and forge relationships.
53
Yeah.
54
Building bridges so that we can, you know, send bombs over there to blow them up.
55
To add on to this, even Fox News, even Fox News, even Jesse Waters had to say something along the lines of like,
56
what, he just said free Palestine and that's why we're canceling him?
57
This doesn't make any sense.
58
Even Fox News is recognizing that this level of silencing,
59
this level of control over discourse in the United States of America at the behest of a foreign nation is ridiculous.
60
Flues.
61
Jesse.
62
So what did he say?
63
It was bad.
64
He said, free Palestine. Is that all?
65
He went on.
66
No, there was genocide.
67
Okay.
68
Okay.
69
Well, all I heard was free Palestine.
70
I don't think that's hate speech.
71
But, you know, if Rob Kraft doesn't want you there, he owns the venue.
72
You're gone.
73
I mean, that's ridiculous.
74
Like, he still has to turn around and make it seem like this is reasonable.
75
But even when you lost Jesse Waters on the free Palestine front, it's over you know what i mean
76
because like look this guy is the the maximum bootlicker
77
and he very quickly reveals that he is the maximum bootlicker
78
but even a guy like jesse waters has to at least come across as somewhat reasonable
79
so that the propaganda
80
that he does otherwise is more powerful this is the dynamic
81
demonstrated by mainstream outlets as well sometimes like new york times
82
will do a report that's scathing on like israel's violence israel's genocide and you're like what what the New York Times, like New York war crimes did this.
83
And it's like, yeah, they have to do this.
84
The reason why they have to do this is because if they don't, if there is something that is so glaringly,
85
obviously an inconsistent instance of hypocrisy, and you have to present yourself as like a reasonable person, if you don't do it in a moment like this,
86
then next time when you pull up to propagandize, they are going to remind you that you were inconsistent.
87
You were hypocritical.
88
You were silly.
89
This is a moment where even Fox News has to entertain the silliness. Who cares? Who cares?
90
If Greg's on my tour and he starts spouting off and annoying me, I'm giving him the boot.
91
I don't even care if it's political.
92
If he even looks at me the wrong way when I take him on tour.
93
He is gone.
94
You know why he won't?
95
Because he won't go on tour with me.
96
The fact that they are trying to justify this is so, so deeply insincere, and it will only reduce their credibility even with their own base.
97
Because I'm certain that there's still plenty of Republicans that watch Fox News, who get entertained by Fox News, who believe in Fox News,
98
who feel like this is a bridge too far.
99
Nobody likes a rich asshole controlling what you can and can't say.
100
They live with that reality every day at their workplaces.
101
So this is just a reminder of the thing you hate, of super powerful, rich asshole, comes in and says, no,
102
you can't say this thing that everyone also agrees with.
103
Simply put, that's completely unacceptable.
104
The zero tolerance policy that the Israel lobby
105
and its domestic loyalists enforced the silenced criticism of that foreign country used to be done without anyone noticing, so it was effective.
106
The problem is they're running a playbook from 2001 in 2026 and everyone can see it now.
107
Absolutely.
108
We exist in a very different media environment.
109
We exist in a very different social environment.
110
We exist in a very different political environment.
111
What used to work in the buildup in the last 80 years, when the media was far more consolidated,
112
far more organized, when people could only get their information from mainstream outlets, from six different TV channels, or maybe a hundred different TV channels, but still TV channels nonetheless,
113
information was easier to control.
114
So when this kind of incident took place, everyone in corporate media would immediately cover it as, here is a vicious anti-Semite that's getting punished.
115
And we'd move on.
116
We would just assume that Macklemore is a rabid anti-Semite, and thank God he's no longer getting a massive platform.
117
But in 2026, people understand what Israel has done.
118
In 2026, people despise what Israel has done.
119
And in 2026, people have an opportunity to learn about things that are happening from independent outlets.
120
There is a far greater, far more diverse force of information in this landscape.
121
So when people attack Macklemore or attack anyone else, even myself included, with the same barrage of disinformation,
122
misinformation, claims of anti-Semitism, people know that that's simply untrue.
123
This is the real issue.
124
This is the real problem.
125
And the more these forces, the Israel lobby, its vociferous defenders, use this same technique, calling someone an anti-Semite,
126
demanding their deplatforming, getting their wishes of deplatforming, cancellation, real cancel culture, the more that that happens, the more people despise Israel,
127
this foreign country, this foreign country and its envoys that are unbelievably entitled.
128
Ironically enough, a big part of the reason why Americans despise Israel is not only
129
because of the violence that Israel has contributed to, the belligerence of the greater Israeli project,
130
the tax dollars that are going there to contribute to these atrocities, our moral culpability.
131
These are all reasons why many people oppose Israel.
132
But that's not the main reason why there is majority support for Palestinians now.
133
Americans have been trained to collateralize brown lives.
134
They've seen it over and over again in Iraq and Afghanistan, everywhere around the world.
135
Brown bodies are seen on television as collateral damage.
136
So they're used to seeing that kind of death and destruction, even though Israel has kicked up the magnitude.
137
It's a genocide.
138
It's different than just a war.
139
It's different than an illegal occupation.
140
But Americans are used to seeing Muslims die on television and justify it.
141
But the major difference is that Israel will then turn around and demand your cancellation if you call it out.
142
That's a big problem because Americans hate cancel culture.
143
They love free speech and they do not like when a foreign country and its envoys are demonstrating this level of hubris,
144
this level of arrogance and demonstrating this level of power on American soil.
145
Every single American, when they find out that AIPAC has been able to successfully push for anti-BDS legislation in 38 states,
146
loses their minds, they go, oh, that's unacceptable.
147
In 38 states in the United States of America, you have to sign a loyalty pledge to the state of Israel that you will never boycott Israel.
148
You will never demand sanctions on the Israeli nation state.
149
You will never demand divestment from Israeli companies.
150
And you have to sign these laws to get a job in the state of Texas.
151
You have to sign this loyalty place in the state of Israel to become a public school teacher.
152
Do you understand how insane that is?
153
First of all, it is a direct violation of the First Amendment.
154
It's a direct violation of the First Amendment.
155
Numerous states have different versions of this law.
156
I have yet to meet a person that has told me that this law is good.
157
I've only met people that didn't know it existed.
158
And when they find out that it exists, they lose their minds.
159
They get very mad.
160
This is unbelievable arrogance.
161
You understand?
162
Unbelievable entitlement.
163
And perhaps that's precisely the reason why so many defenders of Israel, so many envoys of the Israeli state repeat this sense of entitlement,
164
this sense of arrogance, this hubris over and over again, because they're used to it for the past 80 years.
165
It has been unconditional loyalty and support.
166
What's up, YouTube?
167
If you like that video, please like, subscribe and turn on the notifications.
168
Also, tune into my stream.
169
I'm probably live right now at twitch.tv slash Hassanabi and support independent media like the Piker Broadcasting Service, the People's Broadcasting Service.
170
Thank you.
171
A lot of this, Branko says, is the Israel first crowd's own doing for insisting on trying to make Free Palestine somehow hate speech or offensive, which most people see as absurd and cynical.
172
Everything that's followed will embolden other artists to speak out and weaken this canceled campaign.
173
Thousands of Ed Sheeran tickets remain on Seoul for Singers Tour with prices down to $65 online.
174
What is this?
175
Sharon got a replacement.
176
Haters will say AI.
177
No, I think, I think McLemore has actually announced that, um, who's that lady who did Eurovision for Israel?
178
Yeah.
179
Yes.
180
put the ai slap back on i'm from tel aviv
181
and this is my art and she has new opener since everyone is dropping out of his tour
182
As Sheeran announces new backing band.
183
That is, that's somewhat of a deep cut.
184
1-877 cars for kids.
185
Yeah.
186
and our boy five ish is in the building as well
187
if your fame is in a line with israel you immediately
188
get mean being publicly pro israel literally social suicide is fascinating yeah
189
but here's the thing for the elites in society they are
190
completely sheltered from this stuff at most it makes them feel bad for a brief moment
191
if they see it at all our voices do not reach them
192
and i need you to understand this so that's why it's significant when people in your social status
193
are actually complaining about this and showing solidarity.
194
Because you think Ed Sheeran is around regular people?
195
You think Ed Sheeran is ever yelled at?
196
He doesn't go out in public.
197
He's Ed Sheeran.
198
He's worth $400 million.
199
The only other people
200
that he's ever around in social functions are people who also have the exact same opinion as he does.
201
here's mark lamont hill explaining uh on the joe button podcast
202
uh the the controversy in the drama let's take a look nothing
203
that macklemore did in these recent stage shows was hate speech right
204
and the idea of saying or reinforcing the idea
205
that free palestine is hate speech it's just like in the united states
206
when people used to hear black lives matter when it first came out
207
and people would act like black lives matter was anti-white yeah just
208
because that makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean that it's
209
that it's wrong just a reminder mark lamont hill literally was
210
fired for saying from the river to the sea palestine will
211
be free he's been a long-standing advocate for palestinian emancipation he he has a close
212
and personal relationship with the censorious regime uh brought about by the zionist lobby
213
so he knows he's experienced it he's lived it.
214
And here's the reality.
215
I have as well, and maybe even some of you have experienced a fraction of this, or maybe the full brunt of the Zionist lobby.
216
When you went out and you protested on college campuses, you might have been called up by HR for things that you've tweeted,
217
things that you've said on social media.
218
Israel has universalized this experience.
219
The lobby has universalized this experience.
220
And therefore, these cries of anti-Semitism fall on deaf ears
221
because everyone knows someone at this point that has gone out and protested, that has gone out and said, this is unacceptable.
222
Why are we still giving money to Israel and have been yelled at?
223
And they are reminded of that experience.
224
They've been yelled at and called an anti-Semite when they weren't being anti-Semitic.
225
And that is precisely the reason why these media campaigns, the smear campaigns coordinated by mainstream outlets, coordinated by very powerful entities in this country,
226
very powerful people in this country that have amassed insane levels of wealth consolidated in the hands of just a tiny, tiny number of people.
227
When they see someone like McLemore getting yelled at, or even someone like myself getting yelled at, they are reminded of their own personal experience and they don't like it.
228
That's why it doesn't work.
229
And he said this stuff, this decision that you just said is not about diminishing the suffering of innocent Palestinians.
230
It is.
231
He always, but he always has these comments like innocent Palestinians.
232
I'm not mad to innocent Palestinians, but any Palestinian that resists, any Palestinian that fights in a way that they don't think is appropriate is no longer an innocent Palestinian.
233
Like how you get to protest your own occupation is not left to the occupier.
234
They don't get to set the standard.
235
That's why I despise when people say, oh, well, you know, I don't mind criticisms of Israel.
236
No, you don't.
237
You do mind it.
238
What do you mean you don't mind criticism of Israel?
239
I've never met a type of criticism of Israel that you've, you know, been on board with.
240
You don't like when Miss Rachel says children shouldn't be slaughtered.
241
You call her a vicious anti-Semite,
242
which ironically enough is far more anti-Semitic than anything anyone else is being accused of to tie Judaism to murdering children.
243
what a disgusting thing to do because the hidden premise there is
244
that no you know israel is going to murder children there's nothing you could do about it
245
because israel is the jewish state that's that's messed up that's anti-semitic
246
and that's what this statement does but he crap he puts all this warm
247
and fuzzy language in it so it sounds like he's being reasonable
248
and that's what they do the oppressor acts reasonable by saying let's split the pie
249
but it's not your pie yes god i love Mark Lamont Hill so much.
250
He's so amazing.
251
What a brilliant voice, dude.
252
What a brilliant advocate.
253
And that's what Palestine is all about, is splitting the pie.
254
And every time I say, how are we going to split the pie?
255
I take another slice.
256
I take another slice.
257
There's nothing left.
258
And then if I fight back and take my slice back, they say, well, you were being unreasonable.
259
And that's the problem with Robert Kraft.
260
And that's the problem with all of this.
261
And that's why I resent what Ed Sheeran did, because he knows enough to know that.
262
You can't punish a group of people for the actions of a smaller group of people.
263
Right, you can't do that.
264
And even the Hamas conversation frames, I know we gotta tie this up, but it frames everything that's happening as starting on October 7th.
265
Palestine was under occupation on October 6th.
266
Gaza was under siege on October 6th.
267
The occupation of Palestine begins in 1967.
268
It's the longest military occupation in modern history.
269
The theft of Palestinian land, and the plunder of Palestinian land, which begins at the end of the 19th century, but in terms of the formation of Israel, starts in 1948.
270
40 something.
271
Yeah, 1948 beast mode bars as always i mean he's brilliant margola my hill is brilliant
272
yeah october 7 happened because of october 6 oh aoc had a take on this as well
273
hey if ed sheeran comes on the radio while you're driving along are you changing the channels i am You are?
274
Why is that?
275
I think that what we've seen,
276
especially, it's not just what has happened with the act and not just in removing Macklemore from the lineup,
277
but when you see what Robert Kraft did to line up all of the stadiums to censor speech in
278
that one specific way, It's become clear that this is not just about one music artist or two music artists,
279
but this is about how just a handful of stadium owners and the elite can prevent an entire massive issue,
280
in this case the genocide in Gaza.
281
But it doesn't stop there.
282
It could be speaking out about AI could be speaking out about any issue
283
that you can now just get a handful of stadium owners to ensure
284
that an entire person's career can be jeopardized
285
if they speak out about any issue the supporting acts have dropped out
286
but Ed Sheeran I think will still continue with the tour
287
um do you what do you think his responsibility is in
288
all of this um you know I I don't know
289
but you know I think that because you never see these contracts
290
and some I have no idea what the financial entanglements of
291
that of all that is but I do think
292
that um you know I think
293
that the right thing to do is to speak out about it
294
and I think the right thing to do is at the
295
very least to speak out about this abuse of power because
296
if they're saying that to him right then they can say it to anybody
297
and at what point does it stop i have it's just crazy so many cancel culture warriors made a
298
ton of money made absolute killing railing against like college campus
299
protesters blue-haired sjw's yelling at them right they didn't actually like
300
lose anything significant in the process they just got yelled at it was annoying
301
and now that there is actual de-platforming taking place not a single one of them give a shit.
302
They don't talk about it at all.
303
They welcome it.
304
Many of them welcome it.

Why This Video Is Perfect for English Speaking Practice
This video features real, passionate dialogue—ideal for shadowspeak or shadow speech practice. The mix of casual conversational tones and serious, emotional delivery helps learners master natural intonation and rhythm. The speakers use common phrases like "you know what I mean?" and "uh-oh" that mirror everyday English, making it easy to apply what you learn to real-life conversations. Plus, the back-and-forth structure teaches how to respond dynamically, a key skill for fluency.
Breaking Down Natural English Phrases
- "Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this." This sentence uses a soft transition ("perhaps") to build common ground, a natural way to navigate sensitive topics. Notice how "whatever" is stressed to downplay differences, a technique native speakers use to keep conversations constructive.
- "Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me." The phrase "least costly" isn't just about money—it’s a subtle way to acknowledge privilege. The structure "one of the [adjective] forms of [noun]" is widely used to rank actions, making it a useful pattern to memorize.
- "When the news cycle moves on, which it will, don't move with it." The parenthetical "which it will" adds certainty without sounding harsh. This structure (main clause + comma + which-clause) is perfect for adding context or emphasis, a hallmark of fluent English.
A Simple Shadowing Routine for This Video
To practice shadow speak, start by watching the video once to understand the context. Then, play short 5-10 second clips and repeat them immediately, mimicking the speaker’s tone, pace, and stress. Focus on phrases like "Palestinian lives are worth protecting"—notice how "worth protecting" is emphasized to convey urgency. Record yourself and compare it to the original; this helps spot differences in intonation. Use this video as a shadowing site staple—its mix of emotion and casual speech will sharpen your ability to communicate naturally. Repeat daily for 10 minutes, and you’ll soon notice your English sounding more confident and native-like.

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
