Pink Floyd Bassist Tells Pro-Palestinian Site Boycotting Israel Is the ‘Way to Go’

Pink Floyd Bassist Tells Pro Palestinian Site Boycotting Israel Is the Way to Go

Roger Waters, center, founding member of Pink Floyd, meets U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, while Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas sits waiting for the start of a meeting on Palestine, Thursday, Nov. 29, 2012 in New York. (AP)

Pink Floyd founding member Roger Waters told a pro-Palestinian website that Israel needs to be boycotted the same way South Africa was during the apartheid era.

Waters, the bassist for the legendary English rock band, told Electronic Intifada that a boycott of Israel is “the way to go.”

“I think that the kind of boycott that was implemented against the apartheid regime in South Africa back in the day is probably the most effective way to go because the situation is that the Israeli government runs an apartheid regime in Israel, the occupied territories and everywhere else it decides,” Waters told the site.

Waters said he has personally asked fellow musicians to boycott Israel — though declined to provide names — and said he has written an open letter urging the music community to join the movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions.

He said he was heartened by Stevie Wonder’s decision in December to cancel a concert benefiting the Israeli military.

Waters addressed the United Nations last year, calling Israel “guilty of a number of international crimes” including apartheid and ethnic cleansing.

      Mr. Waters apparently forgot to take his Chlorpromazine.

      On the upside – you guys can catch Mr. Waters on AMC’s hit show – The Walking Dead.

      Mr. Waters plays one of the corpses.

      He plays a corpse? I thought he played the Bass!
      …Then again, to play bass for Pink Floyd, other than the riff from the song “Money” what does a bassist really need to know? Two, maybe three notes…?

      How come I never hear any examples or proof that Israel is an apartheid government? I’m listening. In what way does Israel oppress Palestinians? Do they not have a right to defend themselves? Why do Palestinians that work in Israel have to hide that fact from their fellow Palestinians? Why do people from other countries push for a 2 state solution when Palestinians have rejected that every time? Why does the Palestinian government regularly threaten to wipe Israel out? Why do these people like Water’s ignore this?

    Mr Waters dour and pessimistic lyrics were the element that ate away the fun in Floyds music. I liked the early stuff up to “Meddle”. “Dark Side” was overplayed so I only bought it later to add to my collection. “Wish” was the same. “Animals” was given to me. I actually bought “Wall” but almost immediately gave it away to the guy that gave me Animals. And that was the end of my Pink Floyd interest. I like Richard Wright and Syd vs the overplayed hand of Mr Waters.

    Roger Waters is a decent songwriter,but David Gilmour made Pink Floyd with his outstanding vocals and guitar work.
    Who cares what Waters thinks about anything?His glory days in music are behind him now,its what he’s known for,and he can spout off about politics all he wants.He’s just an old,arrogant and self important liberal loudmouth now.
    Pink Floyd the band is timeless though.

      The Iraelies are the seed of Abraham right? Abraham was in the land back in Genesis n the Lord led him there, then after their captivity in Eygpt God led them there again, so it is Gods choice that Abrahams seed dwells in the land . The place were he went to sacrifice his son Isaac is the same mount were Jesus Christ was crucified hundreds of years later. So the decendents of Abraham have title rights to the land. Those that call themselves Palestinians were migrant workers that were taken in by the Jewish people. So its like having illegal aliens trying to lay claim to DC. Palestine was coined in the 3rd century by a Roman General Titus that hated the Jewish people so he changed the name of the land to punish them.

    Love the ” occupied territories ” phony slam. That should be called ” justly lost territories” since they resulted from the attacks on Israel and the war that resulted . The Israelis fought back and gained territory in the war. The Palestinians are just like their friends , our radical Democrats , who are still Blaming Bush for the economic collapse largely caused by their Affordable Housing Acts.

      Palestinian freedom fighters? You make it sound like Palestinian terrorism was a response to Israel’s conquest in 1967. In reality, the terrorists have been attacking Israel since 1948. So unless you can show me how the French Resistance was fighting the Nazis before they invaded France I suggest you find a better analogy.

      Why are they Palestinian freedom fighters? First, they are not Palestinian, most of them are Jordanian or Syrian and they are free, just not free to invade Israel. Maybe we should be rooting for those New Mexican freedom fighters trying to carve out their own country from the US, instead of calling them illegal immigrants and calling for their deportation (that was sarcasm, in case some incredibly dense person didn’t get it).

    Electronic Intifada — sounds like thinking along the lines of, “None may barter or trade?”
    A prophecy, October 6, 1978, before Israel exchanged 90-percent of the land won in the 1973 Yom Kippur War for peace, which led to the “land for peace” process with Arafat and the P.L.O.: “We shall say unto you these words, of this peace, this peace that your President [Jimmy Carter] has hid behind. Egypt now prepares to make war as she pleads for peace — and she shall make it in such a manner that it shall look as though the Israelians are at fault. But we say unto this lands [Israel] that the Eagle [U.S.A.] shall spread his wings and coveth — beware of Egypt. Beware of the Palestinians who now plan to destroy your cities. Beware of the Arabian gold which now is buying its way into your country. All is part. For those who shall take control for the Anti-Christ, none other than them may barter or sell. It has been written. We said before, look unto Daniel, of the four beasts, and the last beast was made of iron. That beast was Rome.” [See The Revelation 13:16-18 and Daniel, chapter 7.]

      Roger Waters is NOT Pink Floyd. He was KICKED OUT of Pink Floyd unanimously after the Wall Tour. Trust me, you think you don’t like Waters, imagine if you were Richard Wright (RIP) and he wanted to remove you from the credits of the Wall (from Pink Floyd). The rest of the band said to bugger off, and have held spite over Waters ever since. Listen to a Waterless Pink Floyd in Division Bell. When they say “Hey You” in Division Bell they are specifically talking to Waters… and they basically call him a cry baby. Listen to Division Bell again, it has no Waters in it, same with Momentary Lapse of Reason.

He wanted to change the name of the band to “Roger Waters and Pink Floyd” and they told him to bugger off. Pink Floyd went out to continue selling out stadiums and Roger went on to make some of the worst albums in musical history. Don’t blame Pink Floyd for the a-hole they booted from the band.

      @antitheism
      Israel is an EX-socialist country and is moving farther away from socialism everyday. Just look at the most recent elections: the socialist leaning Labor party went from being the second largest in the Knesset to being beaten out by a centrist party that was brand new at the time. Moreover, Labor has been on the decline for decades. Unless, of course, you want to argue that a tiny country like Israel could have the third largest number of companies traded on the NY stock exchange while being socialist.

    And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes,
    I’ll see you on the the Dark Side of the Moon.

    I love Pink Floyd and have always detested Waters for his insanely large ego. It grew, and grew, and grew, until finally he lost that light in his eye’s. Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell (especially DB) were excellent albums. All Waters has done since The Wall is The Wall. He’s a no talent ass clown but writes amazing lyrics. His voice sucks, his guitar sucks, and his ego sucks. I’d rather listen to Gilmour’s On an Island than hear another crappy performance of Waters doing the Wall with out the band.

      @KevinTampa…..YOU got it! The Water-less Pink Floyd was the BEST!
      Very impressed with your correct history of the hostility between the Wright/Gilmour and creative contributions. Kudos!!!!

      NO. Waters left Pink Floyd in ’79. The rest of the bad hates him. He’s a former member for a reason, he got jack booted out because he wanted The Wall released as “Roger Waters and Pink Floyd”. The band said f’no mate, and after it was released told him to go suck a bell end. Momentary Lapse of Reason and Division Bell were produced by a Waterless Pink Floyd.

      Fair enough, Jerk.

      So we are clear, when Israel builds a wall, do you see it as keeping folks out or keeping them in ?

      You claim your US sovereignty and that of the United States.

      Does Israel have the same right ?

      Just to be clear.

      If so, how in the world could you see Israel as an apartheid state ?

      @Jerk
      In Apartheid South Africa there were two classes of citizens with differing rights. In Israel everyone is subject to the same laws. These Palestinians aren’t even citizens and don’t even want to be in most cases so they can’t claim they aren’t being treated as equal citizens because they aren’t citizens to begin with. Meanwhile, the Palestinians who are citizens have all the same rights as Israelis.

      Syd Barrett is dead; having suffered from mental illness, likely caused by/worsened by drug use. What’s Roger Waters’ excuse? Oh, too many years of trying to bring Syd back. Anyway, whay do we give a rat’s rear what he thinks, any more than Madonna, Lindsey Lohan, or much of anyone? Is he trying to be “relevant” again? How’s that working out?
