Whatever words Waters may have used in the past, the slaughter in Gaza is at last prising "anti-semitism", the first and last defense and shield of these scoundrels who have already killed 10-15,000, from the murderous hands of Israel's extreme right-wing ruling class. Our politicians may feign blindness, but millions of us well understand what we see.

No one was demonstrating the past 10 years while a few hundred thousand muslims were murdered by other muslims in Syria and Yemen.

But let's demonstrate against Israel and support Gaza and Hamas muslim terrorists who were filled with joy and celebration as they raped, slaughtered and beheaded innocent people simply because they were Jews.

The establishment hate RW because he asks inconvenient truths. Phoney allegations are the best way to silence him and others.

The German government criminal investigation into him recently for his stage performances of The Wall, which he first did in 1980s Germany from Potsdamer Platz, is a complete sham for this very reason.

Here is the truth:

Watched the video. I hadn't followed the story of his defamation in right-wing media. His emotional investment in truth-telling to honor the memory of his parents was unmistakable. I myself have always read, read, read and then tried to do the right thing, as Roger's late mother counseled him. Many thanks for educating me about RW with that link.

Thank you for watching the video (it's a fairly recent one) that rebuts some of the very nasty and untruthful things the media spreads about him.

Most absurd he has been accused of having nazi sympathies - his own father killed in WWII by Germans when he was young (the Pink Floyd song "When the Tigers Broke Free" is a reference to his father being killed during the Battle of Anzio in 1944 when Roger was five months old).

I would urge everyone to watch the video.

Waters, one of the highest-grossing touring artists of all time, has long criticized Israel, urging a cultural boycott and flying an inflatable pig emblazoned with the Star of David at his concerts.

Criticism of Israel is fair, but criticism of Hamas is seriously needed in the same breath.

6 ( +8 / -2 )

That some Hamas fighters perpetrated unspeakable acts on October 7 is undeniable, probably psychopathic individuals driven by traumas suffered in their family history at the hands of Israeli occupiers while others went to take hostages for a prisoner swap with the thousands held in Israeli jails and fight with the IDF and settlers as martyrs of the Palestinian resistance. In any case, the truth of what happened on that day may take years to emerge. As RW himself has said, all the violence of Hamas is far, far outweighed by all the blood on the hands of Israelis and those so-called civilized countries who supply arms and support Israel's decades-long occupation and egregious violations of international laws. Waters is right to call out the hypocrisy and the crocodile tears of Israel's American and European accomplices shed for the innocents slaughtered by the IDF.

Criticize Israel's ruthless brutality and you will be called an anti-Semite.

I think we should all take a step back. The hatred runs deep and commentaries like those here won't change things. Frankly, I don't care what they do to each other for the simple reason that I can't stop it. And this little war isn't the only one going on in the world. There are worse ones that because of their third-world locations are ignored by too many people. Again, we can't do anything about it.

Put this old fool out to pasture. Argentina is just as anti-Semitic as he is too.

In France, Tsahal probably blackmailed the senate president and a constitutional political judge to have propaganda hiding the genocide of Gaza’s children in the first three day of bombing. 3000 children deads because they bombed school willing like you execute civilian to force somebody to do something. Human crimes by thousands… and that’s not the first time they hide the public show of intimidation.

They use blackmail to get what they want. You just need to investigate on the Hotel Direction to find a big scandal that can’t be in public or bought off your way in jail.

Going against Israel is suddenly being a jewish racist. This is like not agreeing with the gay lifestyle being suddenly homophobic. This is political manipulation. Honestly nobody but a most extreme ones ask for the death of Israel citizens. Islam is not overly violent about this after what we uncovered on Tsahal true behaviour. In France, with 10 millions of Muslims, we have less than one hundred anti-semitic delict and crime per year. When you know the real level of Israel behaviour against them, this is not that much.

Since Tsahal is protecting extreme right in Israel with those blackmail technics, I would wonder the file they got on your extreme right in Japan. Once they got a file, they control your politicians thru blackmail. So they have plan in motion to help them rise to power. They need somebody they can blackmail, and him in a place of power. We were looking on the nazi side. But Tsahal have the same profile today after the Gaza’s children genocide (UN is agreeing on the genocide possibility more and more, this explain a long term pattern of behaviour).
