Rapper Macklemore has been dropped from Ed Sheeran's US tour after making pro-Palestinian comments on stage earlier this month.
说唱歌手Macklemore在本月早些时候在舞台上发表亲巴勒斯坦评论后,已从Ed Sheeran的美国巡演中退出。
The artist - whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty - had been the opening act for Sheeran's Loop tour, but was criticised by Jewish groups after saying "Free Palestine" at two concerts and making political speeches.
这位艺术家-真名本杰明*哈格蒂(Benjamin Haggerty)-曾是Sheeran环路巡演的开场表演,但在两场音乐会上说"自由巴勒斯坦"并发表政治演讲后遭到犹太团体的批评。
Macklemore stood by his comments on Monday, confirming that he had been cut from the tour and writing in a statement that the real victims are the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Macklemore周一站在他的评论旁边,确认他已经被从巡演中删除,并在一份声明中写道,真正的受害者是加沙的巴勒斯坦人民。
Ed Sheeran has not yet commented, and who will replace Macklemore for the rest of the tour is unknown.
Ed Sheeran尚未发表评论,谁将取代Macklemore参加余下的巡回赛尚不清楚。
The controversy began on 4 September, when Macklemore, a long-time pro-Palestine activist, performed at Ed Sheeran's concert at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
争议始于4九月,当时长期亲巴勒斯坦活动家Macklemore在新泽西州大都会人寿体育场的Ed Sheeran音乐会上表演。
He told the audience: "A big part of the reason why I wanted to do this tour in the first place is so that I could stand up in stadiums like this and say two words that are very, very dear to my heart: Free Palestine."
他告诉观众:"我之所以想做这次巡演,很大一部分原因是为了让我能在这样的体育场里站起来,说出两个我非常非常珍视的词:自由巴勒斯坦。"
He then performed his song Hind's Hall, which condemns Israel's military action in Gaza, while video footage of the devastation in Gaza was shown on the big screen.
然后,他表演了他的歌曲Hind'S Hall,谴责以色列在加沙的军事行动,同时在大屏幕上播放了加沙破坏的视频镜头。
After that performance, the campaign group StopAntisemitism criticised the rapper, saying "Jewish fans bought tickets to see Ed Sheeran sing... not to be ambushed by Macklemore's anti-Israel propaganda."
在那次演出之后,竞选团体StopAntisemitism批评说唱歌手,说"犹太粉丝买票看Ed Sheeran唱歌。.. 不要被Macklemore的反以色列宣传所伏击。"
The next night, Macklemore returned to the same stage and directly addressed his "Jewish brothers and sisters" in the audience.
第二天晚上,Macklemore回到了同一个舞台,在观众席上直接向他的"犹太兄弟姐妹"发表讲话。
"Criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide, is in no way a criticism of you," he said, adding that he wanted people in Gaza and the West Bank to know they had not been forgotten.
"对以色列的批评,对种族隔离的批评,反对种族灭绝,绝不是对你的批评,"他说,并补充说,他希望加沙和约旦河西岸的人们知道他们没有被遗忘。
Israel rejects allegations of genocide. It says its troops conduct self-defence operations in Gaza and the occupied West Bank in accordance with international law.
以色列拒绝关于种族灭绝的指控。 它说,其部队根据国际法在加沙和被占领的西岸进行自卫行动。
The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to an unprecedented Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.
以色列军方在加沙发起了一场运动,以回应哈马斯领导的2023年10月7日对以色列南部的前所未有的袭击,其中约1,200人被杀,251人被劫持为人质。
During Israel's military campaign in Gaza more than 73,780 people have been killed, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures are considered reliable by the UN.
据该领土哈马斯管理的卫生部称,在以色列在加沙的军事行动中,超过73,780人被杀,其数字被联合国认为是可靠的。
Ed Sheeran and Macklemore, pictured in 2014, have been friends for 13 years, the rapper said in his statement But the backlash against Macklemore only grew louder, and included a petition by the Israeli-American Council urging Sheeran to remove him from the tour.
这位说唱歌手在声明中说,Ed Sheeran和Macklemore,2014年的照片,已经是13年的朋友 但对Macklemore的强烈反对只会越来越大,其中包括以色列-美国委员会的请愿书,敦促Sheeran将他从巡回演出中移除。
"This was an Ed Sheeran concert - not a political rally, not a protest, and not an activist event," the council said, adding that the rapper used "biased messaging and disputed claims."
"这是一场Ed Sheeran音乐会-不是政治集会,不是抗议,也不是活动家活动,"该委员会说,并补充说说唱歌手使用"有偏见的消息和有争议的主张。"
In his statement on Instagram, which was nearly 1,000 words long, Macklemore said that after a week of "difficult conversations" with Sheeran, that ultimately ended "in a place of fundamental disagreement", he was dropped from the lineup.
Macklemore在他对instagram的声明中说,在与Sheeran进行了一周的"艰难对话"之后,最终"在一个根本分歧的地方"结束了,他被从阵容中删除。
Tour promoter, Messina Touring Group, told Rolling Stone magazine that it had been told by venues that they would not allow Macklemore to perform, "which would result in the cancellation of the tour and impact hundreds of thousands of fans."
旅游推广者,墨西拿旅游集团,告诉滚石杂志,它已经被场地告诉他们不会允许Macklemore表演,"这将导致取消巡演并影响数十万粉丝。"
In his statement, Macklemore said he empathised with the difficult position Sheeran was in, but criticised the English singer for not taking a stance.
在他的声明中,Macklemore说他同情Sheeran所处的困难位置,但批评这位英国歌手没有采取立场。
"Taking a side can cost you.
"站在一边会让你付出代价。
Money, brand deals, sponsorships, festivals, private shows, relationships and access. I've lost all of those things. But there is no neutral position between the oppressor and the oppressed," he wrote. He also addressed the accusations of antisemitism, writing that "one of the most effective ways to enforce silence has been to weaponize the accusation of antisemitism".
钱,品牌交易,赞助,节日,私人表演,关系和访问. 我失去了所有这些东西。 但压迫者和被压迫者之间没有中立的立场,"他写道。 他还谈到了反犹主义的指控,写道"强制沉默的最有效方法之一是将反犹主义的指控武器化"。
Macklemore added: "When criticizing Israel, opposing Zionism or saying "Free Palestine" gets conflated with hatred of Jewish people, it doesn't protect Jewish people.
Macklemore补充说:"当批评以色列,反对犹太复国主义或说"自由巴勒斯坦"与对犹太人的仇恨混为一谈时,它并不能保护犹太人。
It protects Israel from accountability." But he emphasised that even though he only did two shows on the tour, if his words succeeded in "turning the conversation back to Palestine, then it was the most successful tour I've ever been on."
它保护以色列不受问责。" 但他强调,尽管他在巡演中只做了两场演出,但如果他的话成功地"将谈话转回巴勒斯坦,那么这是我参加过的最成功的巡演。"

"上周末[Macklemore]站在一个充满音乐爱好的家庭的体育场前,屏幕上有一场战争的暴力图像,为他选择的运动献了一首歌,然后拿着麦克风告诉体育场里所有的犹"
