Middle East conflict divides music tours

A quick update that is not directly related to the Israeli election, but very much involves Mideast politics. You'll recall that about a month ago, the American rapper Macklemore was supposed to open for Ed Sheeran on his Loop Tour. But arena owners accused Macklemore's pro-Palestinian views of veering into antisemitism, and told Sheeran to drop him from the bill. In response, Macklemore decided to forge his own mini-tour.
