Roger Waters is the stark raving mad antisemite who likes to wear a Nazi uniform, keep tethered above the stage when he performs an inflatable pig with an embossed Star of David on its side, and has made plans to throw out swastika-shaped confetti to his fans. He knows that Jews rule the entire world, that they are all-powerful, they are supremacists, they are committing “genocide” in Gaza — though he has yet to explain how, if they are all-powerful, they haven’t been able, not even once, to silence Roger Waters. But you have his word for it that he is not an antisemite. “Never was, never will be,” Rogers told a recent interviewer from Turkey. “Not an antisemitic thought ever in my whole life. What I am is somebody who fights for human rights and that is what they cannot allow.”
He is particularly incensed by the “religious supremacism” that he attributes to “the Jews.” He says that “supremacy of all kinds is the key to understanding why people behave in these extremely evil ways, like the Israelis have done for the last 75 years and are continuing to do so with the support of the American empire including my country, the United Kingdom, which is part of the American empire,” he said. “And it’s deeply, deeply depressing to me.”
Will no one tell this antisemitic idiot that the greatest religious supremacists in the world are Muslims, whose holy book the Qur’an tells them that they, the Muslims, are “the best of peoples” and non-Muslims are “the most vile of created beings”? But even if he were told this, would it matter?
Polly Samson is the wife of his former Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. Samson wrote lyrics for some of the Pink Floyd songs, and has known Roger Waters for decades. Here is how, in a tweet, she sums up Roger Waters:
Sadly @rogerwaters 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.
That’s as accurate and succinct a summing-up of Roger Waters as I have seen anywhere.
But then there is Paul McCartney, the thought of whom can now cleanse your mental palate, for McCartney does not share Waters’ views of Jews. After all, two of McCartney’s three wives, including his current one, have been Jews. He has demonstrated — vocally, in the literal sense — his support for Israel. In 2008, when the anti-Israel brigade had tried unsuccessfully to persuade hm not to perform in Israel, at a press conference in Tel Aviv he said that “I was approached by different groups and political bodies who asked me not to come here. I refused. I do what I think, and I have many friends who support Israel.” He then added that “I’ve heard so many great things about Tel Aviv and Israel, but hearing is one thing and experiencing it for yourself is another.” Nor was he dissuaded by death threats from Islamic militants over that 2008 concert in Israel. Omar Bakri, a Lebanese-Islamic activist, told the London newspaper the Sunday Express that McCartney’s decision to perform in Tel Aviv made him an enemy of Muslims. “If he values his life, Mr. McCartney must not come to Israel,” Bakri said. “He will not be safe there. The sacrifice operatives will be waiting for him.” McCartney brushed off the threat, gave his concert in Tel Aviv, and let the world know how impressed he was with Israel, and that he intended to return to perform in the future.
More on McCartney, who recently attended Yom Kippur services in Chile, can be found here: “Paul McCartney spotted attending Yom Kippur prayers in Chile,” Jerusalem Post, October 13, 2024:
Top English singer-songwriter and musician Paul McCartney was seen in a Chile synagogue on Saturday attending the prayer service for Yom Kippur, pictures and footage that circulated throughout social media following the Jewish holiday showed.
While McCartney himself is not Jewish, the former Beatles star in the photo could be seen donning a kippa and standing next to his Jewish wife, Nancy Shevell, at the service. The synagogue is the Círculo Israelita de Santiago, according to members of the local Jewish community.

…This was not the first time that McCartney and his wife were spotted attending synagogue services….
McCartney’s first wife, Linda Eastman, was also Jewish. They were married from 1969 until her death in 1998.
Notably, McCartney has performed in Israel in the past and has expressed his desire to return, saying that it is “highly likely” that he will return to Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park….
Roger Waters or Paul McCartney? Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide. Not exactly a difficult choice, is it?
marc says
McCartney was always a Mensch in all his behaviour.
But as Polly Samson said of Walters “…antisemitic to your rotten core. Also a Putin apologist and a lying, thieving, hypocritical, tax-avoiding, lip-synching, misogynistic, sick-with-envy, megalomaniac.” Gilmour said he agreed with every word.

The writer of the article got Waters’ first name wrong. It’s not Roger. It’s Bilge.
Waldorf says
And now explain what bilge is, please: it’s the water collecting at the very bottom of the boat, extremely filthy.
gravenimage says
“Bilge water” is also a term used to mean something that is false, dishonest, and/or disgusting.

Thank you so much for this, as a staunch Paul McCartney’s fan, vegetarian for animals’ sake and also Zionist, I couldn’t love this more. It left me teary-eyed in an utterly good way. Blessed be the McCartneys 🙏🙏🙏

The lying fool says that ‘supremacy is why people behave in extremely evil ways.’ He should know, behaving in extremely evil ways because he sees himself as superior.
Not enough money on earth to get me to listen to him.
Mr. McCartney is all together a different kind of person. And I still like to listen to his songs.
Siddi Nasrani says
Quote, ” ‘supremacy is why people behave in extremely evil ways.’
Oh I get it you mean like Islam in action.
James Lincoln says
I didn’t know this about Paul McCartney.
I’ve always been a fan, but now I’m a bigger one!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, I didn’t know that he is now at wife #3, or that 2 of them were/are Jewish. I looked it up on Wiki, and apparently, they were Linda Eastman and Nancy Shevell – wives #1 & 3
That said, I haven’t been a fan of the Beatles since I came to this country in 1992 and discovered the Glam Metal genre of the 80s and 90s, which I had never previously heard

Islam apologists must do it, they must experience themselves on what Islam really is by living in Islamic countries like Afghanistan which really praticing shariah law or Somalia or Sudan which run by Islamic rulers.
> “If he values his life, Mr. McCartney must not come to Israel,” Bakri said
This is a truely Islamic way, if you value your life, then you should suck up Islam. Muhammad and jihadists. But that does not even guarantee you from not being attacked by muslims, only lessen the chance.
CalvinsLutheran says
Any religion that is so God-forsaken stupid that they produce the belief that Female Genital Mutilation produces faithful wives should NOT be allowed to exist on the entire planet. Yet these ignorant little feminist college idiots are marching against the Jews and in behalf of Islam. Those miscreants on The View and members of The Squad have some answering to do. FGM is sufficient cause for Armageddon by itself HANDS DOWN. WTF?

I think this would come into the category of cognitive dissonance!
Margaret Curtis says
PS When I said “this” would come into the category of cognitive dissonance, I meant, of course, the attitude of those feminists you were talking about – not your own comment!
Margaret Curtis says
Not sure whether my last attempt at editing worked; but just to clarify, it was the feminists I was accusing of cognitive dissonance, not you!

You’d think big brave waters would have advocated for Kurdish to be allowed on public signage all over turkey like Arabic is in Israel while he had TRT’s ear considering there’s 20 million of em in the republic. And maybe adding the letters they use to the alphabet as well.
tgusa says
Well Roger the codger did write the Pink Floyd song, Brain Damage. I didn’t realize at the time that it was a biographical song. There is also a sort of companion song to go along with Brain Damage composed by guitarist Tom Cochrane of the band Red Ryder called Lunatic Fringe. Take your pick, they both work.
Brian Ozzy says
It would seem to me to be about as obvious a choice as the one between President Trump or the idiot cackling Kamalala. Not a choice at all really!
Westpacwill says
Trump is a threat to America! Just remember his years in office that produced the lowest inflation in decades, the lowest unemployment rates in history (particularly for minorities and women), no wars to enrich the military-industrial elite class, the most secure and sovereign borders in a century, and all the other horrible effects of his presidency. Do Americans want to have to endure prosperity and peace again!? I think not!!!
RIXX says
Tel them both, AM ISREAL CHAI !!!
Captain Quirk says
Pink Floyd did, indeed, produce incredibly impressive music back then, but even then it was unmistakably mentally disturbed:
‘We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year,
running over the same old ground,
what have we found, the same old fear,
wish you were here…’
By the way, there is something extremely wrong with the song ‘Run rabbit, run, don’t sit down, forget the sun…’ (Dark Side of the Moon). You know what? Rabbits don’t run, hares do! Took me a while to figure that one out.
