A scene from Gaza today: An Israeli missile struck a tiny rooftop room where a newlywed couple had just begun their life together. The bride was killed instantly. Her husband was critically wounded and remains unconscious in intensive care. Their blood now marks the place where their new life was meant to begin—a haunting witness to what happened here.

Executing a child and then murdering the father who ran to hold his body is not defense. This is livestreamed genocide

🚨Eight-year-old Palestinian child Amal al-Mughair was killed when Israeli forces fired three missiles at tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, according to Ahmed Al-Najjar, Press TV correspondent in Gaza. 14 other Palestinians, including other children, were wounded. Video filmed by Nasser Qeshta at Nasser Medical Complex shows Amal’s relatives gathered around her body as injured children receive treatment nearby.

Beoga has dropped out of Ed Sheeran’s tour: “As musicians, playing to those crowds every night is the stuff of dreams but to play in venues that silence anyone advocating for a Free Palestine is simply not an option for us.”

Everyone’s dropping out of Ed’s tour like flies: Aaron Rowe. Finneas. His band, Beoga. And many more will follow. It’s important to understand the power of solidarity and what it can do to toxic cultures of oppression.

Beoga has withdrawn as Ed Sheeran’s band for his ‘Loop’ tour in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore: “to play in venues that silence anyone advocating for a Free Palestine is simply not an option for us. It's important that everyone knows that the real enemy is the zionist lobby. They have worked tirelessly to silence artists who want to speak freely about a genocide happening before our eyes, for fear of retribution. Research how much Robert Kraft has done to fight the BDS movement. That will give you a sense of what we've all been up against. We were there for Macklemore's performance and speech. We fully supported his message, so did most of the audience in Met Life Stadium which terrifies the lobbies.”

Motherfuckers ! this was just a kid ! Fuuuuuuck israël !
OMG! israël hit a Palestinian kid with a missile. The moment IDF aircraft struck an injured person—and the child who attempted to aid him—again, just one minute after he had been hit by a missile in Gaza!

I’m here to sound the alarm again today as I’ve been doing since 2016. We are in a dire situation when a performer is pulled from a tour for simply calling out genocide in Gaza.

I stand by this even more following Ed Sheeran's weak bs post today. 10 years ago I was the centrist fence-sitting final boss. I get it Ed. I thought it made me enlightened, but looking back it was just cowardice. Too many things are too fucked rn to stay silent or neutral.
Philip DeFranco CALLS OUT Ed Sheeran: Saying I don't take sides, that feels like an insane thing to say when scholars who cover genocide call it a genocide The conflating of just criticisms of Netanyahu and Israel to actual anti-Semitism gives cover to the actual anti-Semites

If you find yourself saying ‘I’m not taking sides’ during a genocide, you are. You most definitely are.

Lukas Graham joins Finneas and other Ed Sheeran openers in dropping out of the tour in solidarity with Macklemore. "It's hard to watch families in other parts of the world burying the people they love. We should be able to speak about war, about civilians being killed, about children who deserve to grow up. Wherever they live. Whatever flag flies over them... Money doesn't give you the right to own the conversation. Nobody's bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we're allowed to acknowledge. I love Ed, and I'm grateful for everything we've shared. That hasn't changed. But I can't put these words out into the world and carry on with this tour as things stand. We're withdrawing from the remaining dates. I'm sorry we won't be there. This is a difficult decision, but it's one I need to stand by." variety.com/2026/music/news/…

Ed Sheeran’s tour opener, Irish singer Aaron Rowe, has dropped out of the tour: “As Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation. I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children. I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal.”
