Is he antisemitic? What do you think?
True, but it's unarguable that many strident anti-Zionists are also anti-Semites.Anti-zionism is not antisemitism
CNN's Michael Smerconish on Saturday (Aug. 6) released footage from an interview with 78-year-old Pink Floyd founding member Roger Waters, who took a notably strong pro-Beijing stance on Taiwan's political status.
In the interview, Smerconish asked Waters to explain the rationale behind his warning to his audience members about his political views at the start of his shows. At one point, Waters justified Russia's invasion of Ukraine by arguing the U.S. would take similar action if "the Chinese were putting nuclear-armed missiles into Mexico or Canada."
Smerconish retorted that "the Chinese are too busy encircling Taiwan as we speak." This spurred Waters to respond by claiming, "They're not encircling Taiwan! Taiwan is part of China. And that's been absolutely accepted by the whole of the international community since 1948 and if you don't know that, you're not reading enough. Go and read about it."
That would be the Syria that's killed about twice as many Palestinians as Israel has since the civil war started in 2011 (if, for some weird reason, you cared exclusively about Palestinians, and gave no heed at all to the half-million-odd other people killed in the war, or the millions made homeless, or all the victims of Assad's torture dungeons, etc.).At the risk of repeating myself, indulges atrocity denial re. Syria. All the conspiracies tend to run together at some point - conspiracists inevitably end up at antisemitism because of the idea of a nefarious cabel controlling events.
Oh well that's OK then!The pig had other symbols on it like the Shell Oil logo
Roger Waters played his first show since June this past Sunday (Oct. 8), and it was also his first performance since the Oct. 6 release of his The Dark Side of the Moon Redux. The show has received a lot of criticism, however, as the musician apparently told the crowd to "fuck off," which prompted some fans to leave.
The show took place at the London Palladium, and according to various sources, including LW Theatres, Waters intended to premiere his new version of The Dark Side of the Moon. However, fans got much more than that. Daily Mail reports that the 80-year-old singer also spent about an hour reading excerpts from his unpublished memoir Dark Side of the Moon: Memoirs of a Lanky Prick on his laptop while sitting at a desk onstage. One of the stories he read was about a duck named Donald, and it went on for around 20 minutes.
