The American rapper Macklemore has released another protest song against the war in Gaza, writes NME.

It's called "Hind's hall 2", and in the lyrics, he addresses, among others, Kamala Harris and criticizes the US's arms deliveries to Israel.

The song features people with Palestinian connections – American-Palestinian artists Anees and Amer Zahr, the Gaza-born rapper MC Abdul, and the Los Angeles Palestinian Kids Choir.

When Macklemore performed at the Palestine Will Live Forever festival in Seattle the other day, he also took the opportunity to express his opinion during the interlude.

"Fuck America", he said, among other things, and was met with cheers and applause from the audience.

Previously, the rapper has supported democratic politicians like Barack Obama and urged resistance against Republican Donald Trump when he was elected in 2016.
