Macklemore tour fallout signals shift in Palestine debate

Rapper Macklemore was dropped from Ed Sheeran's US tour after speaking about Palestine on stage, prompting every remaining support act to withdraw and ticket prices to plunge by up to 50 percent. Macklemore pledged his $1m earnings to Palestinian aid groups, while Sheeran reportedly donated $2m to humanitarian relief. Al Jazeera argues the episode shows Israel's narrative control is eroding.
