Reply To: Russian Tensions
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters criticised for calling for peace because he accurately said it was provoked and despite calling the invasion illegal.
Rather than representing the view of Russia, the musician said he was speaking on behalf of “four billion or so brothers and sisters” – the majority of Earth’s population.
He continued: “So what do the voiceless millions have to say? They say thank you for hearing us today. We are many who do not share in the profits of the war industry.
“We do not willingly raise our sons and daughters to provide fodder for your cannons.
“In our opinion, the only sensible course of action today is to call for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. Not one more Ukrainian or Russian life is to be spent, not one, they are all precious in our eyes.”
Waters was earlier smeared as an anti-semite for his criticism of Israel and support for BDS. Unrelated? Or convenient timing?
