I know Pink doesn't want me as a fan, because I'm "MAGA" and all that, but because I have principles and despise hypocrisy, I'm going to come to her defense because she's the latest target of the politically cannibalistic Left, where you are never woke enough and one wrong statement is enough to get you canceled.

See, Pink had the audacity to object to Macklemore's despicable pro-Palestine speech and antisemitic cosplay before the Ed Sheeran concert a couple of weeks ago. Pink shared a post by Stop Antisemitism and then her own thoughts on the issue.

According to Variety:

The singer noted that she may have been a typical “cheap and fast” social media user when she first reposted the anti-Macklemore meme, rather than speaking up in her own words, which she is now belatedly doing. “A repost isn’t a statement, and a meme isn’t a spine,” she argued, saying that she would “rather be disagreed with for what I actually said than hated for what anybody else wrote, so let me say it.”

Pink noted how her feelings about Macklemore have evolved, from support for him when “I was in the room at the Grammys in 2014 when Macklemore rapped ‘Same Love’ and 33 couples, gay and straight, got married to it, and I cheered, no questions asked.” Then, she pointed out an antisemitic costume the rapper wore a short time later, for which he subsequently issued a mea culpa. “Macklemore put on a hooked nose, a black beard and a bowl cut, performed in it, and called it a ‘random costume.’ Every Jew I know knew exactly what it was. The same love, it turned out, had a guest list, and we weren’t on it. But he apologized, and I let it go, because that’s what we do. We let it go.” Nonetheless, she suggested, his wearing of the costume informed how his statements might be received in years to come.

"Of course I don't speak for Israel, or for any government," Pink wrote. "I never have. What I said in October 2023 is still exactly what I believe: Hamas is a terrorist organization. Palestinians deserve a future that honors their humanity and aspirations. Protecting innocent life comes first, everywhere, and nobody should ever celebrate the death of a child. Anybody's child. I've spent a decade as a UNICEF ambassador for kids who didn't choose the country or the war they were born into, and I have grieved every one of them, on both sides of that fence."

That's sane, reasonable, and compassionate.

But Javier Bardem wants Pink ousted as a UNICEF ambassador for not wanting Jewish children killed.

What, exactly, did she do wrong? She wasn't caught abusing kids. She didn't commit some horrible crime. She said she didn't want any kids — Palestinian or Israeli — to die and she condemned the despicable Macklemore for fomenting and encouraging hatred towards Jews.

Jews like Pink. And her children.

For that, he wants to remove her from a position that she's held for at least a decade.

Pink will not learn this very simple lesson from this: You are never woke enough. You are never allowed to have a thought independent of the leftist hive mind. You are never tolerated for your diversity if that diversity doesn't conform to the latest cause du jour.

And it's a shame she's told people like me to go away, because we're the only ones who'd be willing to come to her defense.
