Oh yeah, Robert Kraft is totally going to donate money to Palestine, if he donates anything it'll be to some kind of fake IDF front charity.

The POS will probably donate to the Board of ‘Peace’ run by that crook Kushner

Just look at the wording in the article.

Macklemore said he would donate $1m (£750,000) to Palestinian organisations
Ed called me and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region

The only defence I've heard of Ed Sheeran has been that it was out of his control..... And I thought hey, there's still an opportunity for him to simply pull out of the tour all together.

However, if he's trying to do damage control for this POS.... He's now a party to it.

Not that I've ever particularly cared for his music.

$2 million to Kraft is $11 to a normally-waged person. So maybe this isn't the statement Sheeran thinks it is.

"Hey Robert, when you are finished exploiting sex workers and young black men, do you think you can check your couch cushions for something to donate?"
