Macklemore leads anti-America chant during charity concert in Seattle to benefit Palestinian refugees


Macklemore, 41, chanted 'f*** America' on Saturday while performing in Seattle at a charity festival to benefit Palestinian refugees.

The 41-year-old Seattle native hit the stage at the Palestine Will Live Forever Festival in support of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees and encouraged people to 'straight up' join the chant, according to an article on Sunday by TMZ. Macklemore, real name Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, has been highly critical of United States foreign policy as the war between Israel and Hamas has intensified. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees had much of its funding cut this year following allegations its workers were involved with the October 7 attack by Hamas against Israel.
