Roger is such a windbag. He never misses an opportunity to give aid and comfort to the Palestinians despite their leader setting the agenda for their so-called nation ahead of nationhood or peace, as the destruction of the state of Israel.

Then there is the fact that this week there was 14 innocent Israeli civilians murdered by terrorists.

I just think it would be nice if for once and maybe occasionally more often instead of always hearing about Palestinians being attacked we might get some deeper history and reporting on WHY?

I love Roger Waters ! Such a great guy. Fighting a good fight.

Reported for Ku-klux clan sympathy

And despite the fact that PLO's Yasser Arafat was the ''son'' (adoring pupil) of the Grand Mufti who admired Hitler and met him to ask for aid against the Jews.

That's all true. Vicious family.
But they are gone now far as I know, and the PA and Hamas are in charge of the Palestinian government, and trying to government the many gangs and groups of terrrorists in Palestine. Not to mention Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Isn't he too old to be performing? He should retire already.

The guy's insufferable. Antisemitic, reactionary piece of waste. I used to like the music, but can't listen to it anymore because of this idiot.

reply

Roger only want the best for the suppressed people of Palestine. His music inspires millions. A true musical legend.

I sort of doubt that, but if it was true he is going back it the wrong way.

This recent round of fighting shows it. The first thing in the media is how the Israelis are causing problems in Palestine, but they don't say why. The why is that in the preceding week there were like 14 innocent Israelis killed by terrorists in Israel. But we never hear about that, or about the narratives of these things and how they start and develop. This has been going on for years ... decades.

Nor any reporting about how the Palestinians will not recognize the existence of Israel, and their goal is not peace, or statehood, it is to destroy the state of Israel. Maybe that made sense 70 years ago, but today Israel is not going to go away, and it should not go away. If the Kurds have a right to a homeland to be protected from their fellow Muslims, the case for Israel is even stronger - and I believe in a Kurdish homeland out of pieces of Syrian, Iraq and Turkey.

So, it's just that ole Roj doesn't seem to be able to digest these facts.

So what, a testimonial about how Waters has never said anything bad about Jews and is such a great progressive force around the world? I'd disagree with that myself. A lot of what seems to happen is that some famous people are used to stick Progressive values associated to terrorists in order to discredit Progressives.

I would not be surprised if Waters was actually working against Progressive values, after all that is more in line with the selfish Rock Star attitude, and how cheap he is. Fought for many years against paying the women who sang that vocal solo in "The Great Gig In The Sky". Where was he progressive there?

Also, the guy in that Tweet had a distinctive Palestinian/Iranian accent.
