I agree with Ed Sheeran. He has young fans. We wouldn't want children being exposed to controversial political messages, such as "I don't think kids should be killed."

Text graphic featuring a quote against a black background: "There is a reason I do not use my professional platform for politics – my audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds. Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum. I respect Macklemore's strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes. However, there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace. I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed. If we only focus on shouting the loudest, nothing will ever change. There are different approaches to being an advocate for change." — Open image attachment ⁨1⁩ of ⁨1⁩

@lowqualityfacts there might be Ed Sheeran fans in Palestine too, who are getting killed or probably seeing other kids getting killed! It doesn't hurt their feelings! We are thinking about just not letting other kids who are in safe places know about what's happening around them? In my opinion, kids should know about the injustice around so that they can grow up to prevent it. Rather than getting in the habit of looking away.
