He said something like, I never wanted to be an activist musician. voice-verified

And I just think voice-verified

Look, I I y you can't get inside everybody's psyche, but voice-verified

That to me is such a strange thing to say at this moment. voice-verified

You know, when you're faced with all of these people who are telling you how devastating this genocide has been, if Ed Sheeran is anything like anybody else, if he has any shred of normality left, then surely he has seen on his phone in the last several years the devastation that has been caused. voice-verified

Like, and again, I you can't stress it enough. voice-verified

Like, we're literally talking about children dying from bombs and fire and collapsing buildings and voice-verified

and starvation and the idea that you come out and say, I never wanted to be an activist musician, like it's a privilege to be able to speak up about that stuff. voice-verified

Like it is an act it's a privilege and a moral duty. voice-verified

It isn't voice-verified

And the idea that anybody would look at a situation like that and say, Oh, I I just don't want to get involved in that. voice-verified

Is uh he might think that that's understandable, but to any normal thinking person, that's actually not understandable at all. voice-verified

Like no you know, voice-verified

Yeah, absolutely. voice-verified

And it's as you say, it's not just to avoid voice-verified

Talking about Israel and Palestine and talking about the destruction and devastation that's happening in Gaza, his statement from the stage was actually so self interested. voice-verified

It was all voice-verified

All about the stresses he's faced this week. voice-verified

He even went so far as to say that, you know, he it's so uh so self-pitying. voice-verified

You know, he was saying that, oh, usually I have a stage B, like a B stage that allows me to wander out into the middle of the audience. voice-verified
