Inspired by student activism and dedicated to Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces, this lyrics take on Washington's support for Israel's "genocidal" military offensive in Palestine's Gaza and applaud the recent student uprisings in the US.

Proceeds from the song will support the UN's aid organisation for Palestinians, UNRWA.
