Musicians, Actors, Artists Sign Petition Demanding Roger Waters Be Allowed to Perform in Frankfurt - World Socialist Web Site

Musicians, actors, artists sign petition demanding Roger Waters be allowed to perform in Frankfurt - World Socialist Web Site

 EXCERPT:

In a March 16 post on his social media accounts, Roger Waters wrote that his lawyers were taking steps to make sure that his shows in Munich and Frankfurt took place as contracted. He wrote, “I am taking the unprecedented step of appealing to the law to protect me from the unconstitutional actions of two authorities which seem to rely upon the fundamentally false accusation that has been made against me; namely that I am antisemitic.”

Waters added: “I want to state for the record and once and for all that I am not and never have been antisemitic and nothing that anyone can say or publish will alter that.” He concluded by insisting that he did not need to “keep making my position clear on this issue,” and he was confident that “truth and the law will prevail and that these authorities will not succeed in denying any of my basic human rights.”

The growing support for Roger Waters among artists, musicians, writers, actors, film directors and others reveals that the campaign to silence him rests on a very thin pro-Zionist and pro-imperialist foundation. Meanwhile, the brazen lies being spread about Waters are themselves evidence of the desperate effort by the ruling powers to keep the broad public from being exposed to political positions and ideas with which many would no doubt agree.
