When the “stopantisemitism” organisation wrote an article about macklemore pink posted it on insta and simply said “awful” or something. a week or so later she provided a more detailed stance which was kinda mixed. something like “everyone hating on me. I’m a jew. Violence is bad. hamas is bad.”
She made specific allegations that Macklemore brought out a costume designed to resemble a Jewish stereotype (black hat, beard, prominent nose) and in doing so implied that Jews had responsibility for Gaza. Was she lying or distorting things?
Pink also sucks now?

It was 12 years ago. He wore a disguise on stage that kinda looked like a Jewish caricature. Bad costume choice, but not antisemitism IMO.
It was an antisemitic caricature. He is in the good side of the conflict, but we don’t need any of this stuff.
Is there more context that obviously identifies it as a Jewish caricature?
I’m pretty sure this guy tried to sell me a moped in Macedonia.
–edit–
Here’s Macklemore’s response to the accusation:
Lmaoo this is you rn
sure it might hurt some feelings
how many kids did that costume bomb?
Doing this shit is collaborating with the Zionists. They love shielding behind that antizionism is antisemitism.
The shit going on there doesn’t excuse racism/antisemitism
yep but if you’re up an arms over a costume while kids by the thousands are dying you need to reevaluate your priorities
FIFY
When was that ?
I too missed something.
