You simply don’t understand that Israel relies on famous people whitewashing its image. Musicians, actors, artists, comedians etc. all these people are essential to help Israel falsely portray itself as a beacon of light and freedom. As a perpetual victim. As a defender of minority rights. Once artists with a large public following begin to speak out, it knocks huge chunks out of the mask Israel has built for itself. That is why it relies on the likes of spineless people like Sheeran to play music that is ‘apolitical’. If he wanted to simply play inoffensive music, he should have continued to busk on the London Underground. Honest musicians know they have a stage to change the world for the better. British musicians have long done this, especially the politically conscious bands of eighties.

They still do it to this day

Capitalism in a nutshell. Treat your employees like expendable assets and squeeze every last drop out of them
