The Crowd 319: Courage & Cowards

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

73% : It's a lovely day here in Canada, future associate member of the EU.
58% : While my little project that had a single digit userbase and the EU adding it's first associate member (hi!) are both big news items, the real news of the week has been the Ed Sheeran drama.
52% : His comments: Billionaire NFL team owner and Israel supporter Robert Kraft agreed with Pink, called up Ed and said if he wanted to play at his and his friends stadiums later on the tour he had to dump Macklemore.
36% : People are also noting that several of the stadiums that threatened to cancel Ed's tour because Jewish people would feel unsafe if there was an opening act saying "Free Palestine" have Kanye West, who has self identified as a Nazi and has a song called "Heil Hitler", booked without issue which makes it very clear that the issue is more about criticism of Israel than it is about people feeling safe.
31% : Kraft responded saying he'd donated $2M to charities "in the region" which people are rightly noting is weirdly vague and likely means Israel based.
