US rapper Macklemore dropped a powerful rap song in solidarity with Palestine, showcasing the power of words and music in delivering messages globally. The track, Hind's Hall, draws its name from the Columbia University building recently occupied, reclaimed, and renamed by student protestors, honouring Hind Rajab, a six-year-old Palestinian girl who was tragically killed in Gaza.

Macklemore has been a vocal advocate for Palestine, expressing his support through his active presence on social media platforms. Hind's Hall serves as a powerful testament, further highlighting the corruption within the American government and bringing attention to the injustices experienced by Palestinians.
