Pink Floyd’s primary song writer and creative force Roger Waters has been viciously verbally attacked by his own former band mate David Gilmour as a ‘Putin apologist’ for calling for peace in Ukraine.
Gilmour, who has feuded with Waters for decades, didn’t directly lambast Waters, however, he simperingly retweeted the scathing words of his wife, author Polly Samson.
Samson launched the verbal assault in response to the publication of an interview Waters gave to German newspaper Berliner Zeitung in which he called for peace and said that Western politicians should attempt to better understand Putin’s motivations.
“[Putin] launched it on the basis of reasons that if I have understood them well are: 1. We want to stop the potential genocide of the Russian-speaking population of the Donbas. 2. We want to fight Nazism in Ukraine,” Waters said in the interview.
Waters, who posted a translation of the interview on his website, also described Joe Biden as a “war criminal” for supplying arms to Ukraine.
Gilmour’s wife also labeled Waters ‘antisemitic’, a charge regularly leveled at him for his criticism of Israel’s military occupation of the Gaza Strip.
Samson also levelled more personal charges against Waters calling him ‘mysogynistic’ and ‘thieving’:

Following the tweet, Waters’ representatives issued a statement denouncing the comments as “incendiary and wildly inaccurate,” noting that Waters is “currently taking advice to his position.”

Meanwhile, Waters gave a speech before the UN Security Council on Wednesday, again calling for peace in Ukraine.
“What are your goals?” he asked the representatives in attendance, adding “What is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Bigger profits for war industries? More power globally? A bigger share of the global cake? Is Mother Earth a cake to be gobbled up? Does not a bigger share of the cake mean less for everyone else?”
Waters continued, “Your wars will destroy the planet that is our home, and along with every other living thing, we will be sacrificed on the altar of two things; profits from the war to line the pockets of the very, very few and the hegemonic march of some empire or other towards unipolar world domination. Please reassure us that that is not your vision for there is no good outcome down that road. That road leads only to disaster.”
Waters had, somewhat bizarrely, been invited to speak at the meeting by Russia. The singer denounced the “illegal” invasion of Ukraine, but noted that it was provoked by NATO.
Concluding his speech, Waters called for “an immediate ceasefire” and for the global elite to “drop the arms race and perpetual war as their accepted modus operandi.”
“We can stop squandering all our precious resources on war. We can feed our children, we can keep them warm. We may even learn to cooperate with all our brothers and sisters and even save our beautiful planet home from destruction. Wouldn’t that be nice?” Waters urged.

Hack Gilmour still riding Water’s coattails for attention.
Fatso’s probably jealous of Waters’ hair.
What an absolutely pathetic puff piece trying to whitewash Waters’ history as a vicious anti-Semite and a general POS. The “palastinians” are a people entirely made up in the 1950’s. Rejects from all the surrounding Arab countries were, and are, used as proxies to attack Israel, without engendering any blame or responsibility on the part of those countries. Land in Israel cannot be “occupied” by a fictitious people. Waters should place the last brick in the wall surrounding himself, and stay inside it. We don’t need no vitriol and venom.
The fictitious people are the occupiers who say they are jews but they are Ashkenazi/ Khazarian fake jews. The land of Palestine was officially name Palestine before it was taken over by fake jews. Take your bullshit over to the Daily Wire.
The land promise was fulfilled when Joshua led the Israelites. Certainly a remnant will be saved. That’s it.
Right! I now have a pretty good idea what D.F.J. stands for.
Is it dumb fucking jackass?
Telling the truth makes one anti-liar.
First you say:
Then your last statement is:
In-between those two contradictory sentences, a waste of space.
“It is said that the effect of the Balfour Declaration was to leave the Moslems and Christians dumbfounded … It is impossible to minimise the bitterness of the awakening. They considered that they were to be handed over to an oppression which they hated far more than the Turk’s and were aghast at the thought of this domination … Prominent people openly talk of betrayal and that England has sold the country and received the price … Towards the Administration [the Zionists] adopted the attitude of “We want the Jewish State and we won’t wait”, and they did not hesitate to avail themselves of every means open to them in this country and abroad to force the hand of an Administration bound to respect the “Status Quo” and to commit it, and thereby future Administrations, to a policy not contemplated in the Balfour Declaration … What more natural than that [the Moslems and Christians] should fail to realise the immense difficulties the Administration was and is labouring under and come to the conclusion that the openly published demands of the Jews were to be granted and the guarantees in the Declaration were to become but a dead letter?”

This is one time that I’m in complete agreement with Roger Waters. Wow!
Agree – Waters, the anti-Bono?
anyway he has always been a pacifist but I think Waters is just a load mouth buffoon; I enjoyed both his, Gilmour and Pink Floyd ‘back in the day’. Why do any of these narcissist’s think they are relevant? And Why do they keep recording when their better days (and my own) are far behind them – really they should quietly collect their royalty checks and fade over to the dark side of the moon
Artists do not retire.
His opinion is his to share whether you agree with him or not.
He makes a better argument than yours. So many ‘celebrities’ share what I consider woke bs with any platform that will get them in the latest news cycle. But not all are so preachy and righteous (Sean Penn comes to mind as a full blown idiot who can still get coverage)
What part of what he said do you disagree with?
…I do agree with him, I just don’t understand the rich & famous need to preach to us plebes
They are famous and are better than the average normie, at least in their minds they are.
Their both fucking morons!
Fuck use guys
Gilmour is a sanctimonious prick. I enjoy his guitar playing (a lot), but it’s not revolutionary and he believes he’s a genius. All of the Pink Floyd members were/are atheists and that seems to make people think they’re especially clever. Waters is right about the Global American Empire. Gilmour is thoroughly propagandized. Nothing genius about that.
When this Polly chick (whoever she is) said “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” it’s too bad Waters didn’t just reply “I don’t lip-synch”.
agreed,iska —
lip synching is a serious accusation,she should be criminally charged —
For some strange reason thought of this: Qualifications
“You said rape twice.”
“I like rape.”
it’s too bad Waters didn’t just reply “I don’t lip-synch
OR:
Roger: “So, Polly, When did you stop abusing children?”
Whats wrong with putting a little hate on kikes ?
Turns out Polly Samson is Gilmour’s wife!
I know that band had 1 or 2 fans, but I’ve never been one of them. I certainly don’t heed communists opinions.
Your moniker describes your skull. You wouldn’t know creative music, with thoughtful lyrics, if it clanged around inside such a vast void.
Get back in Mom’s basement, and bring up a stream of Taylor Swift pop on your dumbphone tether, via Ma’s free wifi, Skippy.
You’re out of your league here.
Who the hell is Taylor Swift? You have no fuckin idea who you’re yacking at. GTH.
I don’t know what the fuck you’re cackling on about. I’m over 60 years old. It’s my own personal opinion having grown up in those days that Pink Floyd sucks ass as a band. I well realize not everyone feels that way. Talent is absolute, but musical taste is subjective. If you like or don’t like something, that’s up to the person. So piss off buddy. I mean that sincerely.
Totally in favour of Roger this time. My hat off.
Not sure about his stance on Israel.
Also deep respect for supporting Julian Assange.
Roger Waters reminds me very much of Barbra Streisand – a total asshole who can sing
Roger lost his dad in WW2.
He knows what he is talking about.
A word from Martin Armstrong is also worth taking heed of. Including on Roger.
I don’t know much, on the geo-political views of any of the three people mentioned in this post, except what is available above.
And, I don’t really want to. Let the music do the talking.
Would be better if all of entertainment kept their noses and opinions out of politics.
That said, I’m with Waters on this one opinion, re: Putin, Russia, and Peace.
Polly sounds like an emotional gas bag See You Next Tuesday.
Dark side of the moon, Samson?
She kind of went off the rails there a bit.
Hey Rog. Sue that bitch.
Davey, if you support your Pollyanna, maybe you should do a remake of this one.

Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t give a flying f*ck what any of these dimwits think.
Gilmour has been whining about Waters for decades.
Look at the song credits…….Waters has 75% of PF.
