Rapper Macklemore attacks Biden over Gaza in new song with graphic video

Rapper Macklemore attacked President Biden in a new song about the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and recent pro-Palestinian student protests.

“The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see everything,” said the rapper says in a video performing the song, titled “Hind’s Hall,” apparently in reference to the name pro-Palestinian protesters renamed a building on the Columbia University campus when they occupied it last week. The video was posted Monday on the social platform X.

“And no, I’m not voting for you in the fall,” Macklemore continues in the song.

The video also features footage of presumably students confronting authorities during the protests, as well as children in Gaza – one of them wrapped in bandages, apparently due to war injuries.

“If students in tents, posted on the lawn, occupying the court, is really against the law, and a reason to call the police and their squad, where does genocide stop in your definition, huh?” Macklemore asks in other lyrics in the song.

Macklemore was previously a speaker at a pro-Palestine protest last fall in Washington, D.C., shortly after the current conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas began.

“We were told to be complicit just to protect our careers, to protect our interests — and I’m not going to do that anymore,” the Seattle rapper said at the time. “I know enough that this is genocide.”

Pro-Palestinian protests centering on Palestinian human rights and the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza amid the current war have quickly emerged on U.S. college campuses. However, the protests also faced accusations of anti-Semitism, which protesters objected to.

Macklemore himself has already been accused of anti-Semitism, according to various points of salewhen he wore a large fake nose, wig and beard, which critics said evoked anti-Semitic stereotypes, during a performance in Seattle in 2014.
