Singer Ethel Cain Seemingly Calls For Joe Biden's 'Assassination' Over $1B Arms Sale To Israel

Singer Ethel Cain has expressed her displeasure with President Joe Biden's plan to give Israel $1 billion in new weapons amid its current "war" against Hamas.

Cain took to Instagram on Wednesday and boldly stated that there is a need to bring back "assassinations." She further claimed that politicians and billionaires "should be strung up in the street."

Cain previously made headlines in 2022 after slamming former President Barack Obama for including her "anti-war" "anti-patriotism" song in his end-of-year playlist.

On her Instagram Stories, Cain reposted an image that featured details of Biden's plan to send more weapons, worth over $1 billion, to Israel to aid the country in its ongoing war in Gaza.

The singer added a caption to the image expressing her anger at the recent development. She said, "We need to bring back assassinations."

Cain went on to elaborate that she felt like she was "taking crazy pills living in America in this day and age."

She added, "Billionaires and politicians should be strung up in the street because what the hell is going on. And we can't even have a revolution because our terroristic military would crush us in a heartbeat if we tried to revolt. I HATE IT HERE."

In another post on her IG stories, Cain tagged the president, writing, "@joebiden: B-tch."

In another Instagram post, Cain shared a lengthy message on being kind and recognizing the "value of life" as human beings.

She said, "I will always continue to say life is extremely beautiful and a gift but it's a gift everyone should be able to experience equally. And i know biology and nature and the universe is not always fair and some people take harder hits in life than others but we as humans should not be adding on to that misery."

Cain continued, "It's so important that you recognize the value of the lives of those around you. Don't let yourself drown under the propaganda and succumb to the apathy. We call ourselves an advanced species because of our ability to overcome our selfish nature and to do the right thing, and we should continue to try and do that whenever we can."

The singer concluded: "Don't give up!!!! It's hard, but it's not hopeless."

Over on X (formerly Twitter), social media users were split on Cain's talks about "assassinations" and hanging billionaires in the streets.

Some commended the singer for calling out the new $1 billion arms deal, while others claimed Cain was only virtue signaling.

One person criticized Cain, writing: "She's doing an "eat the rich" routine when she's the rich in question. Love Ethel, but this seems insincere."

Another said, "Honestly, I get where she's coming from. The frustration with the political and economic elite is real. But advocating for violence isn't the answer."

A third person asked, "Wouldn't this be considered a threat to the president?"

In support of Cain, some individuals called the singer a "queen," while others said, "She's so real" for her comments regarding the arms deal.

Cain made headlines two years ago when she called out former President Barack Obama for including her "anti-war" "anti-protest" song in his annual end-of-year playlist.

Obama has made it a tradition to personally curate a playlist of songs he enjoyed over the years and share it with his fans and followers on social media.

He wrote on X at the time, "I always enjoy sharing my end of year music playlist with you. This year we heard [a] lot of great songs. Here are some of my favourites."

The ex-president revealed he was listening to songs by artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Rosalia, SZA, Omar Apollo, Lizzo, and others.

Obama also included Cain's "American Teenager" song from her debut album, "Preacher's Daughter."

Unfortunately, this didn't sit well with Cain, who voiced her disapproval on social media.

She said at the time, "Did not have a former president including my anti-war, anti-patriotism fake pop song on his end of year list on my 2022 bingo."

Cain's song included lyrics that criticized pro-war sentiments and American gun culture.

She sang in part: "Grew up under yellow light on the street/ Putting too much faith in the make-believe."

Cain continues, "Another high-school football team/ The neighbor's brother came home in a box/ But he wanted to go so maybe it was his fault/ Another red heart taken by the American dream."

The song was heavily praised by music critics who lauded its melody and message and even praised it as a "pop anthem" at the time.
