American rapper Macklemore debuted on Wednesday the music video for his latest anti-Israel song, in which he again accuses the Jewish state of genocide, voices support for anti-Israel protests, and calls Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “colonizer.”

In the music video for “F—ked Up,” the Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, shows images comparing Palestinian struggles in the West Bank, during the recent Israel-Hamas war, to what Jews experienced in the Holocaust. Toward the end of the music video, a clip of a Palestinian child in the West Bank city of Jenin walking with his hands raised is juxtaposed with the infamous photo of a Jewish child raising his hands in the Warsaw Ghetto in Nazi-occupied Poland, as an SS officer aims his machine gun at him. While the two children appear on the screen, Macklemore raps: “If you still haven’t said s—t about the genocide, know your grandkids one day are gonna ask you why.”

Earlier in the music video, there is a side-by-side that compares apartheid in South Africa to apartheid in “Palestine.” The music video includes several clips and photos from pro-Palestinian protests, anti-Netanyahu rallies, and demonstrations by Jews who support a “Free Palestine.” The video additionally features an image of a puzzle that illustrates the Israeli flag intertwined with a $100 bill.

In the song, Macklemore repeatedly criticizes US support for Israel. The Seattle-based rapper claims US military aid to Israel is connected to income issues in the US, and references Trump’s proposal for the US to take over Gaza.

“New era ushered, but white supremacy is still in charge. Talking colonizing Gaza from the White House lawn. But the people mobing and we ain’t backing off,” Macklemore raps. “Ya’ll killing Palestinian kids and we gettin’ hit with the cost. Why the f—k you think you can’t afford the rent in your building? And you can’t afford groceries?” He also raps, “f—k ICE, free Congo, Sudan and Palestine.”

While an image of Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is shown on the screen, Macklemore raps: “You can bomb a mosque, but you can’t bomb faith. You can kill people, but resistance grows in the wake. And while our president sends billions to Israel’s safes, ethnic cleansing’s never gonna make Israelis feel safe. More blood, more weapons. More money, more oppression. More hate, more fear. More walls and more settlements.”

Elsewhere in the song, he raps, “Elon, we know exactly what that was,” in reference to Tesla and X owner Elon Musk, and the hand gesture he made at US President Donald Trump’s inauguration rally in January that appeared to resemble a Nazi salute.

Last year, Macklemore released two anti-Israel songs criticizing the Jewish state for its actions during the Israel-Hamas war, which started in response to the deadly Hamas terrorist attack in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. His song “Hind’s Hall,” released in May, praises anti-Israel protests taking place at college and university campuses. In the song he also accuses Israel of genocide and occupation and implies that the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks were an act of “resistance.”

In September, he released the follow-up track “Hind’s Hall 2.” He raps in the song: “Long live the resistance if there’s something to resist/Had enough of you motherf—ers murdering little kids/PC for a minute I was trying to be a bridge/But there’ll never be freedom by pleading with Zionists/World screaming, ‘Free Palestine’/We seen the manual we know how you colonized.”

Macklemore said that proceeds from both songs last year were given the United Nations Relief and Words Agency (UNRWA), which faced allegations that several of its employees participated in the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel.
