Pink Floyd rocker Roger Waters says no evidence that Hamas raped Israeli victims of October 7 attack
Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters
Roger Waters is ready to face the heat after making controversial statements on the Israeli Defence Forces over the ongoingwar against Hamas that has claimed thousands of Palestinian lives so far. The Pink Floyd rocker who co-founded the iconic band made a stand against the offensive claims about Hamas.
As a starting point, Roger Waters said that there was no proof that victims of the October 7 attack against Israel by Hamas had sexual implications. He also stated that Hamas are “morally bound to resist occupation” by Israel.
Some controversial things that Roger Waters said
The rocker made these statements as he spoke to Piers Morgan. On Piers’ talk show, Roger Waters said, “I'm not saying a part of the Palestinian resistance movement didn't cross that wire fence. I am not saying that didn't happen at all. What I am saying is there is all this talk about does Israel have a right to defend itself why didn't Israel defend itself that morning?”
He further asked, “Why did they wait seven hours before they started machine-gunning everyone?”
When things became a bit uneasy on the talk show, the rockstar proposed that there should be a thorough investigation into the events of October 7.
When Piers asserted that women were raped on that day, Roger Waters said, “No they weren't. There was no evidence. You can say anything that you want but there is no evidence.”
The musician added that Israel had targeted its own civilians. “All those piles of cars they were destroyed by Apache missiles from helicopters Hamas didn't have helicopters,” he said.
He even supported the Palestinian cause and said, “The people fighting on behalf of Palestine liberation have a legal and moral have a right to fight back against the oppressor. If someone invades your country, kicks all the people out of their home, steals everything and is stealing all your land and occupies all your land for 75 years you have an absolute right to armed resistance.”
