Hind's Hall

Uncommon card · No. 185391

"Hind's Hall" is a protest song written, produced, and performed by American rapper Macklemore. Released as a single on May 6, 2024, it expresses support for the pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses that call for an end to the Gaza genocide, divestment from Israel, and a ceasefire in the Gaza war. The song's title is a reference to pro-Palestinian activists' renaming of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University to "Hind's Hall" in honor of Hind Rajab, a five-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. In the song, Macklemore is critical of the United States's funding of Israel; he describes Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories as apartheid. Additionally, Macklemore announces his opposition to the music industry for their silence on the issue, and to President Joe Biden because of his support for the Israeli government and military.
