Roger Waters compares Israeli policy to Nazi Germany, slams ‘powerful Jewish lobby’ – Haaretz
Roger Waters, the legendary former front man of Pink Floyd and outspoken supporter of the BDS movement, has equated Israeli policies to those of Nazi Germany and slammed the “extraordinary” power of the Jewish lobby in the United States.
“The Jewish lobby is extraordinary powerful here and particularly in the industry that I work in, the music industry and in rock’n roll as they say,” Waters said in an interview published in the online magazine counterpunch. “I’ve spoken to people who are terrified that if they stand shoulder to shoulder with me they are going to get f-cked.”
Waters also said that the Israeli religious establishment’s treatment of non-Jews is reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s. Calling the rabbinate “bizarre” and outlandish to the point of disbelief, Waters stated that in their eyes all non-Jews exist “to serve them… they believe that the Indigenous people of the region that they kicked off the land in 1948 and have continued to kick off the land ever since are sub-human.”
