Waters has long been a friend to anti-Israel groups, and regularly promotes elements of antisemitism at his concerts. This includes a flying pig covered in various slogans, among them the Star of David.

In 2013, Waters compared the Jews to Nazis. He also suggested that the “Israeli Lobby,” which he says controls rock and the music industry, keeps
him from appearing on late-night talk shows. Perhaps it is not the Israel Lobby, but rather his insanity, keeping him from late-night talk shows.

In that same interview, Waters claimed the late Jewish businessman, Sheldon Adelson, was controlling the President of the United States. He finished his interview by saying Zionism is an “ugly stain” that “needs to be removed.”
“Sheldon Adelson believes that only Jews — only Jewish people — are completely human…and everybody else on earth is there to serve them.”
–Roger Waters on a Hamas Affiliated Network, 2020
