Pink breaks silence on her Macklemore criticism with lengthy statement
Pink posted a 1,300-word statement defending her earlier criticism of Macklemore's pro-Palestine tour statements.
Pink has explained her decision to repost criticism of Macklemore's tour continuation. Pink acknowledged that reposting a meme was not speaking her own mind.
She wrote: "A repost isn't a statement, and a meme isn't a spine." Pink outlined her concerns as a Jewish woman.
She recalled Macklemore wearing an antisemitic costume in the past, which he later apologised for. Pink said his stadium statements crossed a line.
He told audiences his message wasn't about Jewish people. She wrote: "You don't get to decide that for us."
Pink balanced this by saying Palestinians deserve a future that honours their humanity. She also said she does not support Hamas.
