Former Pink Floyd songwriter Roger Waters could face prosecution after declaring his support for Palestine Action, a terrorist organization that has been banned by Parliament in the U.K.
Waters posted a video to X on Saturday, in which the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame inductee praised Palestine Action as a "great organization," while also giving kudos to Bob Vylan, who led the Glastonbury Festival crowd in a chant, shouting, "Death, death to the IDF."
Waters said in his video that he was in his studio and was working on a piece of brown cardboard with a Sharpie.
He then switched the camera from his face to the cardboard.
"This says, ‘Roger Waters supports Palestine Action, 5th of July 2025. Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power. Stand up and be counted. It’s Now,'" Waters read. "This is the moment. I am Spartacus."
"This is Independence Day, July 5th, 2025," he continued. "I declare my independence from the government of the U.K., who’ve just designated Palestine Action a terrorist, proscribed terrorist organization."
Waters said he supports Palestine Action, calling it a "great organization," and noting that they are "nonviolent" and "absolutely not terrorists in any way."
"They’re a nonviolent protest organization protesting the presence in the U.K. of Elbit Systems, who are an Israeli arms manufacturing organization," he said. "All right. So, that’s that. I support Palestine Action, and I always will because that is the right thing to do."

Sure, and our free speech includes the right to mock him relentlessly.
Always liked Gilmour better anyway.
Very good. Now can’t more of us do that instead of waiting on Trump?
So what are some examples of rock bands you like?
Pink Floyd once did an afternoon show in Oakland,Ca a couple of decades ago-weekday 1PM. Everyone had to take the day off to see it. A buddy did just that. Why there weren’t more afternoon rock concerts in those days are hard to explain. They always sold out, at least the big acts. Weekends could have been 2 shows. Clapton did it in ‘74. Cow Palace. We were introduced to Yvonne Elliman right after seeing her in Jesus Christ Superstar.
“I really never understood the fascination with Pink Floyd’s music”
Try listening with quality headphones.
IDF & MOSSAD NEED TO GIVE HIM A FACE TO FACE TOUR
Mother should have built a wall.
Good morning, worm your honour...
Of course. I just made mention that he was ugly as hell. Inside and out.
I like a lot of different genres. Listening to PF is depressing. Makes me want to kill myself. Dreadful
I can dig it. We can speak the truth. It’s prettier.
Yeah PF is not everyone’s cup of tea but your overreaction to them is kind of funny. :-)
I have followed them since 1969. In the early days they were a fringe psychedelic band and first to have 360 degree sound at their concerts. After dark side of the moon it all changed and they became a huge mainstream rock band.
If you dont like their later music you would have never survived ummagumma. ha ha
“The worms ate into his brain.”
HA! exactly what I was thinking.
Roger Waters, once talented musician turned into a turd with values of HAMAS and PLO. MAYBE if he served time they will give him a bed of Kaffiyas to sleep on in his cell and let him rot.
Lock people up really for bad ideas and a loud mouth
They already do that in Germany and the UK for saying what we say here non stop
Apparently not to some goofballs here who would be arrested in Germany for what they write here
Or the UK
FREE SOUND AND FURY LOL
Yes, opposing gum is wonderful but locking him up for being stupid and loud. I don’t want that to happen here in America. That’s one of our basic freedoms
At these people who don’t like Pink Floyd they’re more stupid than Roger Waters
A lot of my friends love PF. I will admit. My freshman year in college around 1988 I did watch the Wall with my buddies one weekend. I liked it but we ummmm were under the influence of a certain substance which shall remain nameless. 😎🕺. Never did that nameless substance again.
I guess the wall is too high and he can't break free.
