The post criticised Macklemore’s comments and claimed Jewish fans were subjected to an unwanted political message.

Pink did not add a comment when sharing the post, but her decision to reshare it was viewed as support for the message.

The move subsequently drew criticism from supporters of the Free Palestine movement.
