Roger Waters of Pink Floyd stated that Hamas was “morally bound to resist occupation” on October 7 and accused Israel of “invents stories» regarding the terrorist attack.

The 80-year-old musician caused a stir in the summer by wearing a Nazi-style overcoat to his concerts, which resulted in him being searched by German police after a concert in Berlin.

Speaking on the ‘Rumble System Update’ podcast with Glenn Greenwald, the rock “big man” said there was “something very fishy” about Israel not realizing Hamas had invaded. Waters disputes the atrocities committed by Hamas, saying the terrorist organization is “absolutely legally and morally bound to resist”.

Specifically, Roger Waters said: “We don’t know what they did, but were they justified in resisting the occupation? Yes! But again this is the Geneva Convention – they are absolutely legally and morally bound to resist the occupation since 1967. It is an obligation».

Of course, and I’m not condemning this, but it got out of hand with the Israelis making up stories about beheading babies».

Finally, he said:You cannot defend the state of Israel in the genocide taking place today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow in Gaza».

Speaking about the October 7 terrorist attack on the podcast he said: “Let’s wait and see what happens, was my first reaction. My second reaction was, “How the hell did the Israelis not know this was going to happen?”. There is something very suspicious about this».
