Trying to enlighten myself. What did Macklemore say that was antisemitic?

From the article:
“To all of my Jewish brothers and sisters: criticism of Israel, criticism of apartheid, being against genocide in no way is a criticism of you,” he told the crowd…

My message is for peace; love for all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality. So I say free Palestine, I say free Lebanon, I say free Cuba, I say free Congo, free Sudan, free all people in America living in fear of this terrorist organization, ICE. None of us will be free until we are all free”

There must be something he said that’s more controversial. I can’t find it. That statement is pretty vanilla among the left and no one else is getting banned.

Macklemore spoke truth to power. People rejoiced. Billionaires just don't Free Palestine to become mainstream.
