Roger Waters: Netanyahu conducting 'supremacist, racist policy' against Palestinians
Roger Waters, a founding member of Pink Floyd, opined Tuesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu conducted a "supremacist, racist policy" against Palestinians.
"We all know that life in the Palestinian territories is unbearable," Rogers said on the sidelines of a concert in Santiago, Chile, before comparing the situation in Gaza and the West Bank to the apartheid regime in South Africa.
"I'm not anti-Semitic," he added in response to a letter from the Simon Wiesenthal Center to sponsors of his Latin American tour, asking them to withdraw their support due to Waters' "message of hatred and discrimination."
During his "Us + Them" tour, Pink Floyd's 75-year-old bassist is seeking to promote public awareness of the Palestinians' situation and promote the boycott of Israel.
