Tom Morello Gets Pushback From Rage Against the Machine Fans for Attending Palestinian Protest at Site of Rage’s First Show Ever [Video]

Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello is known almost as much for his social activism as his innovative guitar playing, so it’s no surprise to see him participate in a protest. He recently posted a photo of himself taking part in a Palestinian protest at Cal State Northridge, which is also the site of Rage Against the Machine’s first show ever in 1991.

“HAPPY MAY DAY 2024! Day 1 Cal State Northridge Palestine protest. RATM’s 1st show ever was here in 1991 and it was an honor to play for the students today in the name of justice, human rights, peace and liberation for all,” Morrello captioned his post on Instagram, which featured a photo of the guitarist holding up a fist and his guitar surrounded by fellow protestors.

Although Morrello’s post received more than 42,000 likes, not everyone was happy with the post and Morrello’s participation in the protest.
