American rapper Macklemore invoked the Holocaust in reference to the Israel-Gaza war, while performing in Germany.

The rapper said the only way for Germans to atone for the atrocities of the Holocaust is to “free Palestine.”

Speaking to the audience at the SparkassenPark stadium in Mönchengladbach, Germany, Macklemore said: “The atrocity that was the Holocaust, there will never be reparations for that.

“The only way that we can atone for our past is by today standing up against apartheid, against occupation, for free Palestine. That’s the only way.”
