A Statement from Roger Waters on the controversy over his Berlin Concert | |||
My recent performance in Berlin has attracted bad faith attacks from those who want to smear and silence me because they disagree with my political views and moral principles. | |||
The elements of my performance that have been questioned are quite clearly a statement in opposition to fascism, injustice, and bigotry in all its forms. Attempts to portray those elements as something else are disingenuous and politically motivated. The depiction of an unhinged fascist demagogue has been a feature of my shows since Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” in 1980. | |||
I have spent my entire life speaking out against authoritarianism and oppression wherever I see it. When I was a child after the war, the name of Anne Frank was often spoken in our house, she became a permanent reminder of what happens when fascism is left unchecked. My parents fought the Nazis in World War II, with my father paying the ultimate price. | |||
Regardless of the consequences of the attacks against me, I will continue to condemn injustice and all those who perpetrate it. | |||
* [https://twitter.com/RealSarahIdan/status/1662517978129379328 After reading this my theory you have an unresolved child trauma & blame your father’s death being killed by the Nazis on the Jews. This is the only explanation why you constantly attack the jewish people who fight for their existence in their homeland. Get help.] | |||

“ Sadly Roger Waters you are antisemitic to your rotten core. Also a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac. Enough of your nonsense.

In June 2009 he spoke against the Israeli West Bank barrier[130] and later that year, pledged his support to the Gaza Freedom March. In 2011 he announced that he had joined the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in solidarity with Palestinians against Israeli occupation

A Statement from Roger Waters on the controversy over his Berlin Concert My recent performance in Berlin has attracted bad faith attacks from those who want to smear and silence me because they disagree with my political views and moral principles. The elements of my performance that have been questioned are quite clearly a statement in opposition to fascism, injustice, and bigotry in all its forms. Attempts to portray those elements as something else are disingenuous and politically motivated. The depiction of an unhinged fascist demagogue has been a feature of my shows since Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” in 1980. I have spent my entire life speaking out against authoritarianism and oppression wherever I see it. When I was a child after the war, the name of Anne Frank was often spoken in our house, she became a permanent reminder of what happens when fascism is left unchecked. My parents fought the Nazis in World War II, with my father paying the ultimate price. Regardless of the consequences of the attacks against me, I will continue to condemn injustice and all those who perpetrate it.

“ A note from Roger: In light of the new evidence from an OPCW engineers report, leaked to ’Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media’, previously suppressed by the OPCW themselves, about the alleged chemical attack in Douma on April the 7th last year, I hope Jonathan Freedland and The Guardian newspaper will have the good grace to print an un-reserved apology for their scurrilous ad hominem attack on me, in The Guardian on the 20th April 2018, after I had stood up on stage in Barcelona on April the 13th and denounced the White Helmets patently concocted story for what it was. The White Helmets probably murdered 34 women and children to dress the scene that sorry day in Douma, and I hope Jonathan Freedman and others including the governments of the United States, the UK and the Republic of France, who bought into the White Helmet’s callous and murderous fairytale are suitably haunted by the indelible images of those lost innocent Syrian lives.
