Javier Bardem backs petition to remove Pink as Unicef ambassador over Macklemore post

Actor Javier Bardem supports the call to remove Pink from her role as Unicef ambassador, following her reaction to Macklemore's pro-Palestinian comments.

The petition, launched on September 11 by a group calling itself “Swifties Against Genocide,” now has over 179,000 signatures. Bardem, who has long criticised Israel’s war in Gaza, urged his followers on social media to sign, according to NME.

Pink has been an ambassador for the UN children's fund Unicef since 2015.

The conflict erupted after Macklemore shouted "Free Palestine" during an Ed Sheeran concert and performed his song "Hind's Hall", the lyrics of which describe Israel’s warfare in Gaza as genocide.

Pink shared a post critical of Macklemore from the account Stopantisemitism, which also claimed that “anti-Israel propaganda” had been made.
