Macklemore Tells Biden 'Blood Is On Your Hands' In Song Supporting Palestinians

The rapper named the track "Hind's Hall" after the Columbia University building that was occupied by student protesters.
Macklemore has released a scathing new song calling out white supremacy and denouncing the war in Gaza.
On Monday night, the rapper posted the track “Hind’s Hall” to social media, naming the song after the Columbia University building that pro-Palestinian student protesters occupied last week. Demonstrators rechristened the building, officially Hamilton Hall, in memory of Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old Palestinian girl who was likely killed by Israeli forces in January.
The accompanying video intersperses the song’s lyrics with images of student protesters, war-torn territories, and politicians whom Macklemore accuses of being complicit in the killing of what is now said to be at least 35,000 Palestinians.
“The people, they won’t leave,” Macklemore, real name Benjamin Haggerty, begins the song. “What is threatening about divesting and wanting peace?/ The problem isn’t the protests, it’s what they’re protesting/ It goes against what our country is funding/ Block the barricade until Palestine is free.”
After a sharp callback to N.W.A’s 1988 song “Fuck tha Police,” Macklemore references the bill, passed in April, that aims to ban TikTok in the U.S. or force its Chinese owners to sell it: “Take us out the algorithm/ But it’s too late, we’ve seen the truth, we bear witness.”
