The fact that Macklemore stands among a very few tells us everything we need to witness about celebrity moral bankruptcy. (Thanks for including the lyrics!) We got the real rock stars among young people risking everything. Give me a field recording from them anytime! And keep your field reports coming!
That's a good way of describing the students--they are the rock stars of our time. They are the ones who deserve praise and adulation. Vapid and shallow celebrities aren't worth a moment's consideration, IMO.
I agree, but we might be almost there already in the US. When you make free speech illegal and penalize people for speaking up for Palestinians by preventing them from graduating college, getting a good reference, getting a decent paying job and gaining health insurance through that job, you're pretty much condemning them to a slow death of sorts, aren't you? They will be homeless, hungry, and unhealthy, unable to survive in the capitalist system. Hitler would be proud of us/US.
I hope "Hind's Hall" goes platinum. We should never let these monsters forget what they did to her, her family and her fellow countrymen. Like Macklemore says: "F*ck the police!" And that includes the military industrial complex.
I hope the song does well, too. It's probably the best way to get people to actually listen and contemplate what the hell is actually happening in Gaza and why the students are protesting it.

If we allow this style of police state to continue we will soon be back to the days of.Hitler,. When disagreeing could get the death penalty.
