Pink Floyd founder, Roger Waters, a vocal advocate for boycotts of Israel, came under heavy criticism for promoting “Russian propaganda” after asserting that the rescue organization, White Helmets, that operates in Syria, were “fake” and encouraged terrorists, The Jerusalem Post reported Sunday.
In a video posted by a group called Hands Off Syria, Waters spoke of an audience member who wanted to come up on stage and speak about the chemical weapons that had been used by the regime of Bashar al-Assad against civilians earlier this month in the Damascus suburb of Douma.
“He is one voice, I personally think he is entirely wrong, I believe the organization that he purports to represent and who he supports, the White Helmets, are a fake organization that is creating propaganda for jihadists and terrorists, that’s what I believe,” Waters said. He also warned that listening to the “propaganda of the White Helmets and others we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to go and start dropping bombs on people in Syria.”

Heck, what’s the big delal? There are a lot of people here on the FR that are quoting the Russians to defend Assad. /s
He was NOT the founder of Pink Floyd!
““He is one voice, I personally think he is entirely wrong, I believe the organization that he purports to represent and who he supports, the White Helmets, are a fake organization that is creating propaganda for jihadists and terrorists, that’s what I believe,” Waters said.”
What is the point is spouting off an opinion like that about shady groups in Syria where it is hard to know who is who?
Roger — just shut up and play yer guitar.
I walked out on Roger Waters in Shanghai in 2005.
I flipped off the entire Chinese audience with they cheered at his anti-Bush anti-American rant.
Fricking leftist anti Semite nut. The good news is he is headed towards 80 years old..... shame.
Syd and Roger were the founding members, Nick and Richard were as well. David came along after Syd was kicked out of the band. The rest as they say is History. Hate Roger though.
The White Helmets ARE linked to terrorists, and enable them.
What’s the issue.
He thinks he's important. That kind of person never shuts up.
See David Hogg.
If roger waters had a son...
Waters is a putz - it is to be expected.
channeling Jerry Seinfeld’s Uncle are we ?
Not anti-Semitic too acknowledge the White Helmets are British financed Jihadis. It’s pretty much out in the open at this point.
Even better video (same song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-TKul0pfPQ
Waters is an anti semite but he has made some great music.
