US rapper Macklemore releases pro-Palestine track

Social media users have heaped praise on Grammy Award-winning rapper Macklemore after his latest song took aim at US President Joe Biden and the American political establishment over their unwavering support for Israel, Middle East Eye reports.

"The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all," the US rapper said in "Hind’s Hall," a track released late on Monday as Israel escalated its devastating assault on Gaza.

The title, Hind's Hall, is a reference to Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall, which pro-Palestine protesters had occupied and renamed after Hind Rajab, a five-year-old child who was killed by Israel in January.

"The problem isn't the protests / it's what they're protestin' / It goes against what our country is fundin'."
