"Freedom for Palestine" is a song by OneWorld, a collective of musicians, artists, campaign groups and charities working together to "raise awareness of the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the resulting poverty and other human rights abuses."[1] The song, released on 3 July 2011, is a compilation number, similar to "Free Nelson Mandela" or "Feed the World".[2] Its lyrics mention "catastrophes, refugees, crimes against humanity, prison camps, occupation, human rights and justice."[2]
Artists on the video include Maxi Jazz (Faithless), Dave Randall (Slovo/Faithless), LSK, the Durban Gospel Choir, members of the London Community Gospel Choir, Jamie Catto (1 Giant Leap) and musicians from around the world.[3] Proceeds from the song go to the charity War on Want for projects in Palestine.
The song went in at number 10 in the UK indie charts[4] and entered the UK Singles Chart on 10 July 2011 at number 79.[5]
