Macklemore stöder Gazaprotesterna på ny låt

macklemore stöder gazaprotesterna på ny låt

Rapparen Macklemore har släppt en låt där han tar ställning för de omfattande studentprotesterna i USA mot Gazakriget.

Låttiteln “Hind’s hall” syftar på demonstranternas namn för Hamilton Hall, en traditionsrik byggnad vid Columbiauniversitetet i New York som nyligen ockuperades i protest, skriver The Guardian.

Låttexten är kritisk till Israels krigföring mot Hamas och polisens massgripanden av studenter. Macklemore rappar även att USA:s president Joe Biden har “blod på sina händer”.

Columbiauniversitet skakades nyligen av studentprotester som krävde ett slut på kriget i Gaza och att lärosätet ska bryta sina ekonomiska band med företag som investerar i eller med Israel.

Den skarpa kritiken mot Joe Biden är något av en helomvändning av rapparen som tidigare stöttat demokratiska politiker som president Barack Obama och uppmanade till motstånd mot republikanen Donald Trump när han blev vald 2016.

Macklemore slog igenom 2012 med låten “Thrift shop” som gjordes med Ryan Lewis och sångaren Wanz. Han har tidigare uttryckt sig stöd för hbtq-personers rättigheter och engagerade sig även i Black Lives Matter-rörelsen.
