JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Former Pink Floyd lead singer Roger Waters narrated a United Nations film about Palestinian difficulties caused by the security fence.
The 15-minute film opened Wednesday to mark the fifth anniversary of the International Court of Justice's opinion that the fence's route is illegal, the French news agency AFP reported.
Waters wrote the lyrics to the Pink Floyd album "The Wall."
Israel says the wall almost completely stopped Palestinian suicide attacks during the second intifada. The Palestinians charge that the fence cuts off Palestinian farmers from their land and will prohibit them from forming a state in the West Bank.
During the film, Waters spray-paints "We don't need no thought control" on the wall.

Israel’s wall wasn’t built to keep people in, it was built to keep suicide bombers out. It’s amazing how well the wall works keeping suicide bombers out of the country. Waters should stick to the things he knows about, like dropping acid and acting stupid.
Roger Waters is....Roger Waters. He wrote lyrics that reflect his views. Either you are a Pink Floyd fan, or not. I see nothing in the article that contradicts what Roger Waters has been writing about and saying for 20 years....
All in all.....Rogers dense about the fence.
Agreed

I love Floyd...Beatles....Stones....
I Love most of their music....but I cringe at some of their work and just don't listen to those songs.
Most artistic geniuses are a bit insane, and I use my built in crap filter as needed.

Common, you have to admit, in 1983 that was good stuff, all politics aside....;)
LOL, you posted before I. I agree completely, was a different time....
During the film, Waters spray-paints "We don't need no thought control" on the wall.Easily the most pretentious member of Pink Floyd, and definitely in the running for most pretentious living musician.
And when he kicks the bucket, I’ll say good riddance.
Likes body parts on his pizza?
Want to see him hug a belt-bomber at the moment of climax.
Then tell us all about the horrors of the Wall.
