Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters accuses influential Israeli lobbies of trying to sabotage his Latin America tour
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters is facing backlash and boycotts in Latin America over support of Palestine!
Roger Waters, the Pink Floyd co-founder, accused influential Israeli lobbies of trying to sabotage his Latin America tour due to his vocal support of Palestine as he sat for an interview with TRT World in Santiago on December 5.
“You can’t possibly put yourself in that position, in their position. Those mothers and fathers, those children, those 2.3 million, well a bit less now, people living in Gaza being bombarded by F-16s day and night, week after week after week,” he said.
“They [the Israeli lobbies] were in Buenos Aires as well, tried to get my shows in Buenos Aires cancelled because I’m an anti-Semite, which I’m not! It’s such outright nonsense,” he added.

As reported by the local daily, Pagina/12, the singer was forced to stay in Sao Paulo instead of Argentina due to a lack of available hotel rooms.
Furthermore, during a performance in Buenos Aires, Waters told the audience he was being silenced for his belief in human rights. Legal action was taken against him in Argentina, with a complaint filed by a lawyer for spreading ‘hate’.
