Roger Waters, once celebrated for his contributions to music as a co-founder of Pink Floyd, has now become a notorious figure due to his inflammatory and dangerous views, particularly regarding Israel and the recent Hamas-led massacre on October 7, 2023. Waters has not only supported Hamas but openly justified their brutal assault on innocent Israeli civilians, claiming that the terrorist group has a “legal and moral right” to carry out such attacks.
Waters’ defense of Hamas—the very group responsible for the horrific slaughter of over 1,200 Israelis in the October 7 attack—is nothing short of an endorsement of terrorism. By dismissing well-documented evidence of rape, murder, and atrocities committed by Hamas as lies and conspiracy, he actively engages in spreading disinformation that aligns with terrorist propaganda. His claim that Hamas is merely fighting against an “oppressor” completely disregards the heinous acts of terrorism they committed, including the murder of women, children, and entire families.
This isn’t the first time Waters has used his platform to promote anti-Israel rhetoric. He has long been a vocal supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which seeks to delegitimize and economically cripple Israel. His ongoing campaign against Israel has frequently crossed the line into blatant anti-Semitism, despite his dismissals that his criticism is merely “anti-Zionism.”
Waters’ latest defense of the October 7 attack, coupled with his history of promoting dangerous conspiracies, proves that he stands with terror organizations like Hamas. His actions and statements make him complicit in legitimizing the slaughter of innocent civilians and further align him with those who seek to justify and encourage acts of terrorism.
By supporting Waters, one is endorsing a man who defends terrorists and spreads hatred towards Israel. His platform amplifies the voices of extremists, and his denial of atrocities committed by groups like Hamas shows that he is not just a critic of Israel—he is an active sympathizer of terrorist organizations that commit unspeakable acts of violence.
