From the Palestine Deep Dive interview with Roger Waters, which I posted about yesterday:
Out of all the lies in the interview, this is one of the biggest doozies. Waters is constantly doing and saying antisemitic things; he even apologized for using an antisemitic trope a little over three months ago!
After speaking with Palestinian and Jewish colleagues and friends, I’ve come to understand that some remarks I made during a recent TV interview, about Palestinians suffering under decades of Israeli military occupation and apartheid, have caused some deep offense. Naturally, this is the last thing I would ever want to do, particularly within a justice movement which I care about so passionately.
During the Interview, in expressing my total solidarity with and support for the Palestinian people, when referring to Sheldon Adelson’s support for the racist policies of both Trump and Netanyahu, I used words that evoked metaphorical imagery which, my friends said, were “harmful to Jewish people and to the movement for Palestinian rights” – and for this, I’m very sorry.
At the time, I had no idea that I was evoking an antisemitic trope.
Here are these latest antisemitic comments by Waters
You know you have an issue, Roger, when even your fellow Israel-haters IfNotNow admit you speak like a Nazi
