Macklemore's 'Free Palestine' tour funding anti-Israel org who cheered Oct 7 Hamas attack
Macklemore's upcoming "Free Palestine" tour later this month will help fund an organization that celebrated the deadly Oct.
7 terror attacks.
After the 43-year-old rapper was dropped from Ed Sheeran's "Loop Tour" after he repeatedly called for a "Free Palestine" and performed his anti-Israel song "Hind’s Hall" last month, Macklemore announced that he would be launching his "Free Palestine" tour in retaliation.
The tour includes three shows in Dublin on Oct.
26, in Paris on Oct.
29 and in London on Oct.
30, respectively.
According to the tour's website , all proceeds will go to one of twelve organizations, including the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), whose leadership has come under fire for several controversial statements. 'SNL' HOST MICHAEL CHE MOCKS MACKLEMORE'S 'FREE PALESTINE TOUR' AFTER ED SHEERAN DROPS RAPPER The Jewish News Syndicate reported that the PYM's U.K. chapter has been accused of defending Hamas' actions during the terror attack three years ago that led to approximately 1,200 casualties and 251 civilians being taken hostage.
The organization reportedly referred to these actions as "legitimate" and "effective." Just days after the original attack, a female speaker from the Palestinian Youth Movement was heard cheering the Hamas attacks and terrorists during a protest outside the Israeli consulate in New York.
"Thank you…for raising your voices to celebrate the glorious victory of the resistance.
And to honor our martyrs and [we're] marching to show those here in the heart of the empire that they will never defeat our struggle.
They have failed to break the unity of our people, and they have failed to dampen the revolutionary spirit of our people who grow stronger every day," the woman said.
