The rapper Macklemore released an anti-Israel song on Monday, in which he praised the student-led protests on college campuses across the country and called out President Biden, the police and the music industry.
The new track is titled «Hind’s Hall,» referring to the Columbia University building that students occupied and renamed in honor of a six-year-old Palestinian girl killed in the Israel-Gaza war. The music video posted to X Monday evening includes clips of anti-Israel student protesters, politicians, and the war in Gaza.
In the song, Macklemore criticized police forces for quelling the college students’ illegal encampments, saying, «What is threatening about divesting and wanting peace?»
«F— the police,» he continued. «Actors in badges protecting property and a system that was designed by white supremacy.»
He went on to take shots at Biden for not doing more to negotiate a ceasefire and stop Israel’s attacks on Gaza, which has left over 34,000 Palestinians dead, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health.
