(NewsNation) — Rapper Macklemore slammed President Joe Biden over his response to the Israel-Hamas war in a new song, showing his support for the pro-Palestinian protests taking place on college campuses.
“The blood is on your hands, Biden, we can see it all,” the rapper says in a video featuring the song titled “Hind’s Hall,” a reference to what pro-Palestinian protesters renamed a building on Columbia University’s campus when they took it over last week.
“And f‑‑‑ no, I’m not voting for you in the fall,” Macklemore continues in the song.
Pro-Palestinian protesters dubbed Columbia’s Hamilton Hall “Hind’s Hall” in honor of a 6-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in the conflict. Demonstrators took over the building after camping out on campus for almost two weeks.
The song’s video, posted to X on Monday, features footage of students confronting law enforcement during the campus protests, as well as children in Gaza — with one wrapped in bandages apparently due to wounds from the war.
Macklemore previously spoke at a pro-Palestinian protest last fall in Washington, D.C., shortly after the war broke out.
“We’ve been told to just be complicit to protect our careers, to protect our interests — and I’m not going to do it anymore,” the Seattle “Thrift Shop” rapper said at the time. “I know enough that this is a genocide.”
