Macklemore Wears Free Marwan Shirt, Urges Release

There are no winners in this story. Here's what happened. At the London finale of his European tour, Macklemore wore a 'Free Marwan' shirt and urged the release of Marwan Barghouti, who is serving five life sentences. The Post Millennial reports that Barghouti's son, Arab Barghouti, spoke to the crowd, saying, "Palestine is heading for our South Africa moment." A 2004 conviction tied Barghouti to three attacks in which five people lost their lives, and Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs lists him as a leader of the Second Intifada. Those five people and their families deserve to be remembered. The Post Millennial also recounts past controversies involving Macklemore and the tour's beneficiary groups.
