I already posted part 1 of the Roger Waters-Demented Doc Brown interview, and now here’s part 2.
Again, it’s a long pile of bovine excrement, but shows the dishonesty of these haters – not to mention terror support.

For instance, watch Waters from 11:40.
That’s why the right to defend itself is part of the Frank Luntz mantra, because it covers a multitude of sins with one simple phrase, that sounds on the face of it defensible. But, defending a country like Israel by operating a collective, murderous, genocidal policy upon a neighboring people, who are entirely under your control, is not defense. It is aggressive beyond all imagination. This is the slaughter of people locked up in a concrete pen, and kept there with guns, tanks, planes, ships, navies, machine guns. They are contained in a prison. It is exactly as if they were all in prison. And then, if some of them resist, if some of them say…and I’m not defending the use of Kassim rockets to fire into farmland in Israel, which is where they go. They do not rain down on cities. There has never been any raining down of rockets. And certainly, they have caused almost no casualties. The fatalities caused by rockets, fired by Hamas or whoever else in Gaza, are tiny, certainly by comparison, with the loss of life Israel causes with its hugely sophisticated weaponry, when they attack the [inaud.] population.So it’s not defense. It has nothing to do with defense. That is the propaganda. That is Hasbara that is repeated. And Obama said it repeatedly. Hillary Clinton says it. Every politician, even Sanders as you say, he’s said it, because it’s something that you have to say. It’s obligatory. You say, Israel has the right. Of course Israel has the right to defend itself. All states have the right to defend themselves. People who don’t have a right to defend themselves is, of course, the Palestinian people, because they don’t have a state. They are a stateless people. They are an inconvenience on the land between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean. And that is what this is about. This is what Sut and I are working for. We believe that these people should have rights like everybody else does. None of us, for a second, live under a situation where we had no civil right, no rights to our own religion, to anything. No vote. Nothing. Where we were considered second class citizens. We would resist.Now they, to their eternal credit, have resisted, by and large, in peaceful ways. And they’ve done it as much as they can, but you can only push people so far. And they will respond. And they have a moral, and legal, right to respond.
Note what Waters is doing here. He starts by suggesting he is not defending the firing of Qassam rockets into Israel – which he immediately makes clear always fall into non-inhabited areas – a huge lie.
The majority of Israel’s population have been threatened by these rockets, which have rained down on our cities. From the IDF blog.
Since Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, terrorists have fired more than 11,000 rockets into Israel. Over 5 million Israelis are currently living under threat of rocket attacks.
More than half a million Israelis have less than 60 seconds to find shelter after a rocket is launched from Gaza into Israel. Most rockets launched from Gaza into Israel are capable of reaching Israel’s biggest cities, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Rocket fire from Gaza is a constant threat facing Israel’s civilians. In 2011 alone, 630 rockets from Gaza hit Israeli towns. That’s an even higher number than in 2010, when 231 rockets hit Israel.
The relatively low casualty count is due to the Iron Dome and bomb shelters. More palestinians have died from Israeli reprisal attacks because Hamas fire rockets from populated areas and have not spent their money on bomb shelters. That’s because they have spent it on terrorist infrastructure like the aforementioned rockets, and terror tunnels.
Waters then claims anyone would resist in the palestinian’s situation, and characterizes their resistance as by and large peaceful. Which is clearly another huge lie. The palestinians are responsible for putting terrorism well and truly on the map, and showing the world it works.
After having claimed he is not defending rocket attacks, Waters then goes ahead and defends the terrorism – as a moral and legal right. Which echoes comments he made earlier this year.
So it again begs the question – is he just a huge ignoramus or is he maliciously lying.
Either way, he’s a disgrace.
