From polling that I’ve shared many times on the thread - I wouldn’t dream of thinking the opinions of ‘people I know’ is indicative of anything, that would be ludicrous. Great, you support genocide if you’re attacked first - good for you.

‘The population has gone up since 1950 so how can there be a genocide’ is a phenomenally dumb argument, even for you. Corker 🤣

It’s a fact they’re both considered genocides by most experts on genocide, which is what I said. I don’t think it’s ‘soooooo’ important, I think it’s indicative of how Sheeran’s PR has suffered, which it clearly is.

Glad you’re taking my technicality advice and just winging it now. “ The International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS) is a professional academic organisation specialising specifically in genocide research. In August 2025, its members passed a resolution stating that: Israel’s...

They're both considered genocides by experts on the matter, so it's a perfectly valid comparison in that context. Sheeran has the right to do as he pleases, and everyone else have the right to judge him for his decision - that's all that has happened. Do you own a calculator? Your...

Nor is your fixation on technicalities. You should read into theories around people who overly fixate on technicalities in debates...

Obviously FFS - what on earth could it be but an opinion? Low, low level.

Yes, this is a forum for sharing opinions. We don't need to state that opinions are opinions on a forum designed for people to share their opinions - it's very much implied. You need to really level up beyond the lawyer act - pointing out opinions are opinions and the constant searching for...

Genocide does make that test automatic - would it be reasonable for anyone to be 'apolitical' on the holocaust? Gaza is not a war - it's a land grab and it's ethnic cleansing, as Israel have themselves told us many times over.

No, many posters numerous contributions to this thread have been "justifying atrocities".

Right, a better attempt, although I probably would have left our the Tommy Robinson one :ROFLMAO: I think when it comes to genocide, 'you are either with us or against us' is a reasonable position. Being 'apolotical' to the slaughter of tens of thousands of children doesn't tend to sit well...

And encourage you to do the same... where is the reporting in support of Sheeran? Who is coming out in his defence? I'm sure The Jerusalem Post or someone will have an article in support. Again, this is a football forum - most of what gets shared on here 'isn't factual'. I've said multiple...

Yep, and I've provided swathes of polling to back it up. The irony of the echo chamber comment is I'm the one posting on a forum hostile to my views. The echo chamber is here and Team Genocide have helped each other justify their views.

If the overwhelming majority of coverage, reporting and fallout points one way, it very evidently supports my point. I know you like cosplaying as some weird lawyer pedant on here, but we are not in a courtroom.

As I said previously, being apolitical to genocide is not a popular position. It might be in your household, but not to most people. You think annihilation, obliteration and suffering of women and children is acceptable if you're attacked first. Fine, most people would disagree. You genocide...

Can you evidence that most people understand or sympathise with Ed Sheeran? I've provided you multiple links this morning indicating the exact opposite. I can send many, many more - he's taking a reputational hammering by any definition. As I said, principle is so alien to you you can't get...

There's a hell of a lot of cope here - you can convince yourself of whatever you wish, it's very very obvious from the fallout of this story who has come off better. The fact Ed Sheeran is a bigger artist doesn't change that at all...

Yes, something indicative of support. I'd imagine Sheeran and his PR team care considerably. The concept of principles is so alien to you that you convince yourself it has to be about 'trying to stay relevant' or some other bs - this tour would be the biggest career opportunity of some of...

Think what you want, reality says otherwise; https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/ed-sheeran-macklemore-tour-backlash-instagram-followers-b3051619.html...

Musicians and political movements is a tale as old as time. Sheeran himself was all over the Ukraine support. I know nothing of his music but Macklemore has come out of this far better than Ed Sheeran has.
