Rage Against the Machine may not have a stage and mic at the moment to speak out on the woes of the world, but they do have social media and they've used it to express their support for the people of Palestine in their ongoing conflict with Israel. The ongoing showdown between the Israeli Army and Palestinian militants in Gaza recently escalated with rockets and missiles being launched into civilian areas. According to the New York Times, more than 1,000 rockets had been fired from Gaza by Wednesday night (May 12) after violence erupted on Monday (May 10). Speaking out on the ongoing violence in the country, the band stated via Twitter, "The violence and atrocities we are witnessing in Sheikh Jarrah, the Al Aqsa compound and Gaza are a continuation of decades of Israel’s brutal apartheid and violent occupation of Palestine. We stand with the Palestinian people as they resist this colonial terror in all its forms." #FreePalestine
