Macklemore performed his protest anthem for the first time in New Zealand since releasing the song on May 7, before fronting an Australian audience who held up keffiyehs and Palestinian flags. The rapper goes on to claim “we’ve seen the truth” of the war in Gaza and the men, women and children who have been “murdered”, referring not to the Israelis who were killed on October 7 by Hamas terrorists, but the Palestinians who have been killed in the pursuant conflict.
