Macklemore continued his support for the Palestinian people over the weekend when he released “Hind’s Hall 2,” the follow-up to his May issue of the same name, with proceeds going to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides aid to Palestinian refugees. He also shouted a provocative slogan invoking the United States during a show in his hometown of Seattle on Saturday at the Palestine Will Live Forever Festival.

The original song, which expressed solidarity with the Palestinian people, has been updated with new vocals from Gaza-born rapper MC Abdul, Palestinian-American singer Anees, author Amer Zahr, the LA Palestinian Kids Choir, Tiffany Wilson and friends, and the Lifted! Youth Gospel Choir. On the rapper’s final verse, he drops a biting couplet that takes aim at Israel’s nearly year-long war in Gaza, which was sparked by the October 7 invasion of Israel by Hamas militants that left over 1,200 people dead and over 250 men, women, and children abducted.

“Long live the resistance if there’s something to resist/ I had enough of you motherfuckers killing little children/ Politically correct for a minute, I tried to be a bridge,” the “Thrift Shop” MC raps before taking a swipe at Democratic presidential candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris, warning that she could lose the large Arab-American/Muslim vote in Michigan if she continues the administration’s support for Israel.

“But there will never be freedom by begging Zionists/ The world is screaming Free Palestine/ We see the manual, we know how you colonized… Hey Kamala, I don’t know if you’re listening/ But stop sending money and guns, or you ain’t winning in Michigan/ We ain’t committed, and hell no, we ain’t changing positions/ ‘Cause the whole world has gone Palestinian,” he raps.

The song also contains the anti-Semitic slogan “from the river to the sea/ Palestine will be free,” a line that the American Jewish Committee has called “a rallying cry for terrorist groups and their sympathizers… (and) a common call to action for pro-Palestinian activists, particularly student activists on college campuses. It calls for the creation of a state of Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, erasing the state of Israel and its people.”

Macklemore took the stage with his message of solidarity with the Palestinian people and his disdain for the current U.S. policy of supporting Israel’s war against the militant group Hamas during the debut performance of “Hind’s Hall 2” at the Palestine Will Live Forever Festival at the Seward Park Amphitheatre in his hometown this past weekend.

“Straight up, say it, I’m not gonna stop you,” Macklemore, 41, says in a fan video of the show after the audience chants outrageously. “I’m not gonna stop you… yeah, f–k America,” he adds to loud cheers from the crowd, later adding “it’s a genocide and has been since 1948,” a reference to the year the state of Israel was founded. The original “Hind’s Hall” and its sequel were named in honor of a young girl named Hind Rajab who was killed in Gaza in a shooting that Palestinians blame on Israeli forces.

At the time this article went to press, a spokesperson for Macklemore had not yet returned Billboard‘s request for comment on his statement during the Seattle show.

Last month, the rapper canceled a scheduled performance in Dubai on October 4 over the UAE’s role in supporting the RSF, one of the warring parties in the country’s devastating civil war.
