Michael Rapaport slams 'clown' Macklemore for anti-Israel performance

Michael Rapaport slammed Macklemore as a "clown" after the rapper brought his pro-Palestinian message to Ed Sheerans concert stage.


Macklemore, 43, repeatedly called to "Free Palestine" and performed his anti-Israel song "Hind's Hall" while opening for Sheeran, 35, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey during shows on Friday and Saturday nights.


On Saturday, Rapaport, 56, who is Jewish and has become one of Hollywoods most outspoken pro-Israel voices since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, ripped Macklemore, born Benjamin Haggerty, in a blistering post on X.

In another critical post on X, the comedian questioned Sheerans decision to bring Macklemore on as an opening act.

In a video that Rapaport posted from the Friday night show, Macklemore, who wore a keffiyeh tied around his neck, was seen repeatedly chanting "Say free, free Palestine!" while music played as he walked around the stage and held up his microphone.


Macklemore, who will be opening for Sheeran during the U.S. leg of the "Shape of You" singer's Loop Tour, also delivered a speech in which he said that he wanted to use stages across America to advocate for Palestine.

"A big part of the reason why I wanted to do this tour in the first place is so I could stand up in stadiums like this and say two words that are very near and dear to my heart: Free Palestine," Macklemore said in a video shared on social media.


"I said, Free Palestine! I want those words to be loud and clear, so that people all the way in Gaza to the occupied West Bank know that we have not forgotten about them," he continued.


"I have an 11-year-old daughter, her name is Sloan, shes here tonight. And if any of you guys are parents, then you know that that love that you have for your kids cannot be put into words, right? I want to see her grow up, I want to see
