“ 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.

Whatever your beef is with the 🇺🇸/🇪🇺/NATO, a decent human being would stand wholeheartedly with 🇺🇦. Whatever one’s opinions are, it should be clear that the aggressor is 🇷🇺. Not you.
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

Syria
“ 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. How do they sleep? Love R.
