Mod note on 'Ed Sheeran chooses cowardice'

Folks, i'm not removing anything at this point, and i'm aware that i participated in the early stages of this derail, but at this point it is getting pretty derail-y. It'd be good if comments in this thread stayed relatively focused on Sheeran, his tour, the other acts, etc. You don't have to stop talking about Palestine entirely—it's obviously a critical piece of why this is happening—but this needs to not turn into a general thread about Palestine/Israel/Zionism. (If someone would like to make a general "news about Palestine" thread, there certainly is plenty of it recently, and i invite you to do so.)
