Aaron Rowe , who was one of the opening acts on Ed Sheeran ’s tour before pulling out after Macklemore ’s dismissal over his support for Palestine, has now issued an impassioned defense of the singer.

“I think you are all focusing on the wrong person here. All I keep hearing is Ed Sheeran this, Ed Sheeran that. When you really should be focusing on the likes of Robert Kraft. You really should be focusing on the Zionist lobbies that are trying to silence the voices of people who are shouting about genocide, the genocide that is happening in Palestine right now by Israel,” said Rowe in a video posted to his Instagram account Friday.
