Waters has replied that he ‘refutes entirely’ the ‘incendiary and wildly inaccurate comments’ made by Polly Samson, lyricist and wife of guitarist Dave Gilmour
on Waters’ website, in which he wonders if “Putin [is] a bigger gangster than Joe Biden and all those in charge of American politics since World War II”, and says that Putin “governs carefully, making decisions on the grounds of a consensus in the Russian Federation government.”
In the interview, Waters also said that “Israel Lobby activists” were trying to have his concerts in Germany cancelled, and that “the Israelis are committing genocide. Just like Great Britain did during our colonial period … We believed ourselves to be inherently superior to the indigenous people, just as the Israelis do in Palestine.
Rogers has long been accused of antisemitism due to his repeated comparisons between the Israeli state and Nazi Germany., Rabbi Shmuley Boteach wrote that Waters had “no decency, you have no heart, you have no soul” for comparing “Jews to monsters who murdered them”.
