He should stick to music, hypocrite, he played in China.
None of which changes that he is an anti-Semite.If any of you knew ANYTHING about Roger Waters, you would KNOW that he's always been political, he's never afraid to say what he believes and he doesn't give a fuck what anyone else thinks about him. Difficult? (Sometimes.) A pain in the ass? (he can be.) But true to himself? (Always.) I get how he can scare some people with his honesty and his integrity.
On top of that, He's still got the energy and the drive and the passion of a 25 year old and he is regularly filling stadiums at age 74. We should all be so lucky.
He's a million miles from a hypocrite. God bless him and I love the guy. Shine on Roger. Shine on.
Nonsense.None of which changes that he is an anti-Semite.
I guess that is OK with you because he is not a hypocrite about it. The KKK are also not hypocrites.
ThisBlacks and Arabs are Semitic people too.
It is a fascist statement to call anyone Anti-Semitic for criticizing a state, especially one that constantly breaks international law.
You obviously don't know what either term mean...Someone here is a full of shit champagne socialist
Musician/performer—talented AF
Full of shit socialist,anti Semite asshole
When he claims to be a campaigner for human rights but has no issue with massive rights abusers like China and avoids discussing the massive problems in the world it does make it a valid question to ask. Adding in things like having a giant inflatable pig with a Jewish star at a recent concert also make it a realistic possibility.Blacks and Arabs are Semitic people too.

And if the RT report has any truth to it, it seems he's happy to embrace Putin's conspiracy theories, another country with massive human rights problems.

You are muddying the waters (no pun intended) with your China analogy. Israel has singled out an entire ethnic group of people - the Palestinians, and put them behind a wall and stripped all of their rights away. Basically an outdoor concentration camp. Roger Waters has played in Israel in the past and it blew him away what he saw first hand. So he's raising awareness to the issue by becoming an advocate for peaceful protest via his involvement with BDS and by making his fans aware. This is what scares the crap out of the Israelis that a guy who is seen by millions of people can pull the curtain aside on Israel and how they are operating a form of Apartheid.When he claims to be a campaigner for human rights but has no issue with massive rights abusers like China and avoids discussing the massive problems in the world it does make it a valid question to ask.

Spot on.Great musician,but a holier than thou champagne socialist and anti Semite
All in the name of religion.I wonder if he uses an inflatable pig while touring Muslim countries. Sell out crowds in Iraq.Syria. Yemen. Egypt. Libya. Maybe not. They are busy taking care of more important business.Killing each other.Which they weren't doing before the creation of the state of Israel.
